Our 8-Pillar Content Process
1. Topical Content Analysis
The topical content analysis is the beginning foundation for content strategy and development. This analysis examines the existing content and user experience (UX) for a client’s domain. The same analysis is then performed for the client’s competitors within their industry. From this research and review, it is determined what is working well for a client and what areas of improvement need to be addressed to improve holistic strategy and rankings.
2. Keyword Research
The keyword research pillar examines what key terms and search queries a client is ranking for, what new keywords can be targeted, the development of content clusters, and potential areas for topical authority. This keyword research will be used for the creation of a comprehensive SEO content plan.
3. Demographic & Psychodemographic Building
The development of the true target audience takes place in this pillar, as buyer personas are created that highlight the different groups that would fit your end users. This stage involves crafting profiles of ideal customers based on elements such as: age, gender, location, career, income, behaviors, hobbies, etc.
4. Internal Linking & Content Assets
The internal linking and content assets pillar examines the overall existence of how well-written content is supported by links throughout the site, as well as what additional assets are being used to further uplift on-page content for an improved customer experience (infographics, imagery, downloadable content, interactive content, videos, etc.)
5. Voice & Tone Agreement
The voice and tone pillar aims to ensure that brand standards and guidelines are established and consistently implemented across the site in all content formats. This step helps ensure that potential buyers are engaging with the same storyline throughout the customer journey.
6. SEO Content Plan
The SEO content plan examines what current content strategy is in place, how it is working, and what past result trends can be identified. This is followed by the creation of a custom, comprehensive, monthly recurring content plan moving forward.
7. Content Journey Mapping
The seventh pillar creates a roadmap, looking at how different buyer personas should interact with existing and future content — and how the content will move them through the various stages of the sales funnel.
8. Distribution, Syndication, & Sharing
The final pillar of the content audit looks at how content is ultimately published and shared with a client’s intended audience. This will examine results like page views, bounce rates, time on page, click-through rate (CTR), etc. The pillar will detail potential improvements or areas to promote better content viewing.
Content Journey Mapping
Effective content marketing begins with a thorough understanding of your audience. The content journey mapping element of our process sets us apart from the competition, as we go the extra mile to understand who we are truly creating content for. This process uncovers invaluable insights into the behaviors, preferences, and needs of your target demographic.
1. Audience Segmentation
We start by segmenting your audience into distinct groups based on demographics, interests, and buying behaviors. This segmentation allows us to tailor content to specific audience types, ensuring relevance and resonance.
2. Persona Development
Next, we create buyer personas that represent different segments of your audience. These personas go beyond simple demographics, delving into the motivations, challenges, and goals of your ideal customers. Understanding what makes your audience tick allows us to create content that speaks directly to their needs and aspirations.
3. Customer Journey Mapping
Mapping out the customer journey is essential for delivering the right content at the right time. We analyze the various touchpoints and interactions that customers have with your brand, from initial awareness to post-purchase support. Identifying key moments of engagement will help us develop targeted content strategies that guide customers seamlessly through the sales funnel.
4. Content Personalization
Armed with insights from audience segmentation and customer journey mapping, we craft personalized content experiences that resonate with your audience at every stage of their journey. Whether it’s a blog post addressing common pain points or a targeted email campaign promoting a special offer, our content is designed to capture attention, build trust, and drive action.

Content Optimization
Not all content is created equal. As search engine algorithms fluctuate, content falls in and out of favor, that’s why assessing and updating content on a regular basis is critical to any type of SEO content success. Often, service pages, blogs, white papers, and other content forms need a facelift to regain rankings and better serve the intent of users. Content optimizations help discover what elements of existing content are not working, and implement changes that elevate those pieces back into organic competition.

How do you know where to go without a roadmap? Businesses often produce content without any real knowledge of where they stand in regards to the industry and their fellow competitors. Content is only good if it gets used. A topical content analysis discovers what content types and trends are ranking well with search engines and what is being enjoyed by consumers. Then it bundles this information into a custom developed content strategy that works.
