Let’s Talk About Content
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019@JudithLewis & @Decabbit
Content consumption has
changed
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019@JudithLewis & @Decabbit
Content has to be always available
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019@JudithLewis & @Decabbit
Often made understandable in
small chunks
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019@JudithLewis & @Decabbit
And often consumed through flash briefings or
voice related formats

So what’s the secret to good content creation?
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019
Think Strategically
Which content brings in traffic?
Which content inspires action?
Which keywords should I
focus on?
Where can we
improve CTR?
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019@JudithLewis & @Decabbit
Know your Target
Audience
@JudithLewis @decabbit #LDLive2019
Persona Mapping is the First Step
Identify
• Personas –define concerns and understand motivations and needs
Questions
• What questions do your personas ask at each stage of the buying process?
Answers
• Develop a content plan that answers these questions
Map
• Map answers to stages in buying process and pair with keyword plan
Create
• Create keyword optimised sharable content that adds value and answers questions

“Likes” is not a valid KPI. Increased sales
within a target demographic could
be.
