The Content Funnel
- Awareness — Educational content attracts searchers ("What is a headless CMS?")
- Consideration — Comparison content helps evaluation ("RankFlo vs Ghost")
- Decision — Product content drives action ("Getting Started Guide")
Moving Between Stages
Internal links guide readers through the funnel. Every awareness post should link to a consideration post. Every consideration post should link to a decision post. The funnel is not linear — readers enter at any stage.
Measuring Funnel Performance
Track which blog posts lead to signups. Use UTM parameters on CTAs and measure: blog session → signup page → completed signup. Optimize posts with high traffic but low conversion.
