Is it Better to Rank or to Resonate?

Crafting Content That Matters...

Thanks to AI, we now have an unprecedented ability to create content at scale (in addition to loads of other amazing things).

But as we embrace these new tools, a crucial question emerges: Are we prioritizing ranking over resonance?

The AI Content Creation Quandry

AI tools for content creation are like Photoshop for designers - powerful in skilled hands, but potentially hollow without human insight.

The key lies in leveraging these tools to enhance, not replace, our unique human perspective. Yes, Photoshop pulled a lot of photographers out of the darkroom, but it also enhanced their work by allowing them to amplify the methodologies they were already familiar with - “dodging” and “burning” their way into new creative exploits never before imagined!

Quality Over Quantity: The Resonance Factor

While high search rankings can bring more eyes to your content, resonating with your audience creates a lasting impact. Consider this:

  • Ranking serves the masses; resonating serves your ideal audience

  • High traffic doesn't always translate to meaningful engagement

  • Fewer, deeper connections often lead to more valuable business relationships

Crafting Content with Heart, and the Head

To create content that truly matters, here are some things to consider…

  1. Use AI as a starting point, not the final product

  2. Infuse your unique insights and experiences

  3. Focus on solving specific challenges for your target audience

  4. Prioritize depth and value over volume

The Power of Targeted Resonance

Now, I’m not saying that ranking for the specific topics that matter to your business or organization is not important; I am saying that you might need fewer eyeballs than you think to fill your business pipeline.

Resonating deeply with a select few can be more valuable than ranking highly for the masses.

This Week, I Dare You To...

  1. Analyze Your Content: Review something you have created recently. Does it rank well but lack depth, or vice versa? How can you address and answer more of the questions your target audience is trying to address?

  2. Refine Your Message: Choose one topic and craft a new piece of content that speaks directly to your ideal client's needs.

  3. Engage Meaningfully: Reach out to someone who resonated with your content. How can you deepen that connection?

  4. Balance AI and Humanity: When using AI tools, consider spending more time on the human refinement than that of the initial generation.

Remember, in the world of high content velocity, it's not just about being seen - it's about being remembered and valued.
