When you’re marketing your business, you want it to be as discoverable as possible. You build your website; you create your social media channels and you’re creating content that gets shared. When you’ve got to that point, is there any more places that you can shout about your business? Well, yes, there is. Creating a Wikipedia page can be another way in which people find your business, and since it is a well-recognised website that people trust – to a certain extent anyway (due to there having been countless changes to pages that were found to be untrue, Wikipedia now has a Vandalism policy!) – it can be well worth your time in getting an article published.

When you’re busy with the day to day running of your business, you might not have time to think about creating content for your blog and so on, even though you know it is important. And it really is, because your content is essential for interacting with your existing customers, and reaching new potential customers.
