Most corporate websites suffer from the same flaw: they are technically functional but socially empty. They act as digital brochures that haven’t been updated in years, failing to provide the real-time value that modern visitors expect.
Effective website content development isn’t just a task for your marketing department or IT team—it’s a collaborative effort that should involve your entire staff.
The gold mine of frontline knowledge
Your security personnel, receptionists, sales team, and customer service reps interact with your stakeholders every single day. They are the ones hearing the real questions, the specific frustrations, and the “aha!” moments from your clients.
When you involve your staff in website content development, you ensure your site provides:
- Real-world answers: Instead of guessing what customers want to know, you are answering the exact questions they asked your sales team this morning.
- Authentic Authority: Google now prioritises “Experience” and “Expertise.” A blog post or guide informed by a technician who has been in the field for many years carries more weight than a generic article written by AI.
Turning staff insights into digital assets
Your team’s knowledge can be funnelled into various high-performing formats:
- Dynamic FAQs: Move beyond “What are your hours?” Use staff input to answer complex service issues, making your website a 24/7 support tool.
- Expert Blog Posts: Your corporate blog is the perfect home for “How-to” articles and industry insights authored by your internal experts.
- Short-Form Video & Vlogs: Your younger staff members are likely content natives. Empower them to create quick video demonstrations or behind-the-scenes looks at how your products are made.
Building a culture of content
Developing a useful website is no longer a “one-and-done” project to tick off a list; it is a living strategy. To make this work, consider incentivising your team. Whether through internal recognition or performance bonuses, encourage your Subject Matter Experts to contribute to your company’s digital footprint.
Streamline your content strategy
You don’t need your engineers to become professional writers; you just need their insights. With a little professional editing and a solid strategy, your staff’s everyday knowledge can become your brand’s greatest marketing asset.
