Article Stories are ideal for generating engaging and shareable content that builds brand identity, searchability, and engagement. The short-form content allows you to share specific pieces of your content with your desired audience. No more one-size-fits-all publishing is necessary - speak to your target audience in a way that resonates.
Google AMP: an SEO-friendly format
SEO is a must-have in today's digital world. Without optimization, even the most astounding pieces of content would be relegated to the shadows rather than in front of an admiring audience.
Because our Article Stories are built using AMP framework, your Article Stories will be faster and will be eligible for enhanced search results in Google. This optimized search format coupled with enhanced social shareability allows you to easily reach multiple channels with the same piece of content.
Perfect for readers on the go
Our Article Stories are mobile-friendly, making your content available to your readers, no matter where they are. The number of people using mobile devices for online browsing only continues to increase, so your business cannot afford to miss out on this segment of traffic.
