How Your Website Can Take Advantage of Current Events & Breaking News

Not surprisingly, breaking news and current events create a significant increase in related search engine queries, which means a large number of interested readers are looking for information and insight into the latest headlines.

 

Finding the right angle...

If the current event is somehow related to your products and services, it is vital that you react to the news quickly with blog posts, informative articles, news pieces, and videos. For example, if you are a products liability attorney, you should immediately post information about a large Toyota recall or a nationally covered defective product accident. If you are a damage claim attorney, you should be ready with a content blast following any large storm or hurricane.

 

Or getting creative...

However, if the current event or headline doesn't have anything to do with your business or profession, you can still use the daily news as inspiration for your marketing strategies. Here at Foster Web Marketing, for example, we noticed the countrywide spotlight on Occupy Wall Street and borrowed the idea for our own Occupy Main Street campaign, which is focused on smart marketing and organic content. The secret to using unrelated breaking news to boost your content is to borrow ideas, symbols, and themes from current events and make them your own.
