How can you build a content marketing team that excels in search engine optimization?
Focus on hiring experts for your team. In my case, I work with many attorneys and we've been able to utilize law school students, preparing for graduation, to help write accurate, quality legal content. Use your SEO knowledge to explain to the team that we are at "Point A", describe what "Point B" looks like, and the steps we intend to take to get there so they understand how they fit into the project. And remember, treat others how you want to be treated!
