Overview
Content. It’s why they visit and why they convert (or don’t). Content is part of every step in your funnel.
From the first keyphrase to the final conversion, this masterclass connects every dot. Your content and your website are a bridge between a Google search results page and your website’s thank you page. Here is the complete approach to making that bridge a fast-flowing highway of continuous demand. Andy will walk through each step in the process for driving B2B leads with content marketing, from the first action to final outcome.
We'll analyse the birth of a lead, deconstructing each page in the process and each stage in the funnel. You'll learn how to strengthen each stage in the funnel, from the high-ranking blog post to the thank you page after the thank you page.
