WEBITMD’s Top 10 Blog Posts in 2020

Balances and recaps are every new year’s classics! As a digital marketing agency, we understand the value blog posts and content have not only for our clients but also for ourselves! So today we want to share with you a list of our most popular articles in 2020; those blogs that were read the most and that for one reason or another were especially valuable for our readers.

As you probably imagine, many of those blog posts were related to the Coronavirus and its impact on our industry and businesses in general. Staying current with what’s going on in the historical moment is important, and so is to give personal insight on it. Just like with any other topic, we strive to contribute with something out of the box as well as useful. 

That’s why 2020 was also rich in collaborations and contact with the community. WEBITMD’s CEO and owner Mattan Danino actively participated in webinars, podcasts, and provided guidance and insights not only on how businesses could go through the pandemic but also on the digital marketing industry in general.

So if you follow our blog page, here’s a chance for you to go back on those articles that you very likely enjoyed. And if you don’t… well, here’s what you’ve been missing!

1. Hubspot vs WordPress: Which One Should I Choose?

Before COVID became an almost mandatory topic for every blogger (January 2020, to be more precise), we came up with this article comparing Hubspot and WordPress on their price range, web design, and SEO capabilities. This was also the first blog I wrote for WEBITMD (nostalgia mode On!).

2. Webinar “The Growth Stack: a Marketing & Sales Machine Powered by Hubspot”

In April 2020, Mattan hosted this webinar which was organized by the CSUCI chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA), the CSULA marketing club, and the Marketing Analytics Research Society (M.A.R.S.). It was an extensive and very interesting Q&A session via Zoom that you can recap in the video below:

3. Podcast “SEO On-Air: Content Marketing Hacks For E-commerce Stores to Boost Sales”

Our fellow SEO agency Stan Ventures invited Mattan Danino to participate in this podcast dedicated to SEO, B2B, and eCommerce growth. He also had a chance to explain WEBITMD’s Growth Stack´; how does it work and how does it set a difference between hiring in-house people and hiring an agency.

4. Basic Principles You Need to Know When you create Content for SEO

A basic guide for business owners and bloggers in general on the basics to keep in mind at the moment of coming up with content for SEO; whether it is blog posts, landing pages, etc. How and when should you use your keywords?

March 2020 was probably one of the months of most uncertainty about the pandemic (little did we know what the following months had come for us!).

Amid such chaos businesses kept on trying to stay afloat and WEBITMD published this article about how changing your content strategy, keeping a continuing communication with your audience, and investing in domestic consumption were pretty good ideas to keep in mind.

We’re positive that 2021 is bringing good things, that the “new normal” will blend with the old one and that we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
