NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Small Business marketers will agree that the outcomes of any successful content marketing strategy should be to reach, convert and engage. A diverse and strategic content plan should attract visitors to your website and help convert them into customers. Once you have a plan in place, consider utilizing different content marketing productivity tools that can support your strategy, improve the impact and maximize your success.

Measurement. Track specific metrics in order to ensure your content isn't creating marketing silos that can limit the benefits of creative and shareable content. Uncover what your audience is responding to and how they are landing on your site. Google Analytics, Market Samurai and CrazyEgg are just a few examples of the available tools that can help you gather this information.

Multimedia. Use multimedia assets to accompany your content and to help further convey your message. Breaking up the text of your content posts with an attractive image can also increase social shares and engagement. You will need to develop sources for obtaining good images such as iStockPhoto or Creative Commons.

Social Media. With the proper management tool, promoting your content through various social media accounts shouldn't be a resource drainer. Review the tools you use to find out if they are delivering the results you require. Hootsuite and SproutSocial are two examples of a tool that can help with the posting and tracking of content.
