Best Practices to Strengthen Your Content Marketing

Strengthen your content marketing framework with best practices on buyer persona research, mapping content to the buyer’s journey, and using measurement to improve results. In this course, you learn how to make content marketing even more effective by addressing these three critical elements. Advance your content marketing to the next level, as you:

  • Develop buyer personas to gain insights into the how and why of buyers’ behavior. Use the five rings of buyer insight to explore buyers’ decision-making process when making carefully considered purchases and learn how to effectively address their questions and perceived barriers.
  • Map content to the buyer's journey. The right content helps buyers advance smoothly through the sales process and helps them overcome obstacles and objections. Be sure to offer all the content that buyers need to answer their critical questions at each step in the buying journey.
  • Continuously improve content through all-in analytics. Learn the process of how to improve content month after month with an all-in analytics review. Track key metrics, develop and test hypotheses, and formulate experiments that enable you to better understand buyer behaviors and advance your content marketing results to the next level.
