Content optimization is a bit like search engine optimization, but it doesn’t stop at just greasing your skids for better performance on the web. Content optimization takes into account not only the necessity of achieving better search engine rankings, but it also aims to make your content easier to understand, more value-laden, and useful to your core audience. Sometimes those virtues fit together nicely. if they do, consider yourself lucky. But other times, the pieces of the content optimization puzzle don’t fit together so neatly. That’s where a little content engineering comes into play.
