When you are up and running and content has been thoroughly tried and tested, you need to designate someone with the responsibility for keeping content up to date and ensuring regular contributions are posted. This content maintenance person needs to be continually updating or adding to content. Keeping the site active and refreshed will help search engines find you, as well as keeping users interested.

Also don’t forget to publish any relevant new content on social media channels such as Twitter, LinkedIn, this will encourage traffic to your website and strengthen your brand image.
