         <description><![CDATA[<p>New Post Suggestions/Requirements:</p><ul><li><p>Post regularly&nbsp;</p><ul><li><p>Let's plan to do 1 a week minimum</p></li><li><p>In order to do this we will need to continuously create new ones so we can pull from our file log.</p></li></ul></li><li><p> Each post needs to somehow weave Opa's into the narrative using our keywords/hot words and then leave a link/information.&nbsp; Definitely leave a link to the website and perhaps we can also list social media links/where/how to buy.&nbsp; To make it as easy&nbsp;as possible for the consumer to find us not only in Fredericksburg, but in the supermarkets since that is the primary revenue stream.</p></li><li><p>When creating a new blog post the suggestion is to do a Google search of the topic and see what websites and blogs pull up in the rankings.&nbsp; That way we know what is working for the algorithm behind the scenes and can mimic their key words, format, length, etc for a much higher margin of success in our posts reaching the same engagement&nbsp;level.</p></li><li><p><br/></p></li></ul>]]></description>
