Background of the study:
Content marketing is a critical component of digital marketing strategies, influencing both consumer engagement and search engine optimization (SEO) performance. Digital agencies in Abuja are increasingly relying on high-quality, targeted content to improve organic search rankings and drive website traffic (Afolabi, 2023). This study examines how content marketing strategies—such as blog posts, infographics, videos, and social media integration—affect SEO performance by generating relevant keywords, backlinks, and enhanced user engagement. Effective content marketing can improve a website's visibility on search engines, resulting in higher click-through rates and increased conversion opportunities. However, the rapidly evolving SEO algorithms and content saturation present challenges that require continuous adaptation and innovation. By evaluating current practices and performance metrics, the research aims to identify best practices and potential pitfalls in the integration of content marketing and SEO, providing a framework for digital agencies to optimize their strategies (Okeke, 2024).
Statement of the problem:
Despite significant investments in content marketing, many digital agencies in Abuja struggle to achieve desired SEO outcomes. Issues such as content redundancy, lack of keyword optimization, and ineffective distribution channels lead to suboptimal organic search performance (Afolabi, 2023). These challenges result in lower search rankings and reduced website traffic, which ultimately affect lead generation and revenue. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of content marketing’s impact on SEO is necessary to refine strategies and improve overall digital performance (Okeke, 2024).

To evaluate the relationship between content marketing and SEO performance.
To identify challenges affecting the effectiveness of content strategies.
To recommend methods for optimizing content marketing to boost SEO.

The findings will serve as a guide for optimizing digital marketing strategies in competitive markets (Okeke, 2024).
