Why your marketing funnel under delivers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever written an in-depth guide, clicked publish, waited for traffic and leads to land on your website, and saw no considerable change after a long time? There are a couple of reasons that could cause your content to underperform. Let\u2019s briefly look into some of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"2\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.1 Content is not aligned with the needs of your customer persona<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before creating content, you should be asking a question of whom you are producing it for. Think about (and research) what content your customers are keen on reading. Do they need simple explanations to complex topics, or do they tend to go all in the details and science? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you are creating content for performance marketers who are launching campaigns with Google Ads, don\u2019t expect them to get interested in the article, \u201c7 Reasons Why Your Company Will Benefit From Google Ads\u201d. This is something they already know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, some of them would be more interested in the following topic, \u201cHow the Hagakure Model will Change the Way You are Using Google Ads\u201d. Why? Because performance marketers are keen on following the latest changes to Google Ads algorithms as it impacts their daily work.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the very least, that\u2019s the hypothesis I would want to investigate further. I will explain how to verify hypotheses with research and user interviews later in this article, so keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"3\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.2 Your content is not approved by an expert<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When interested in some marketing topics, I usually type some phrases in Google and do my research. 90% of articles I come upon online don\u2019t introduce anything new to what I already know. That\u2019s because some marketing copywriters tend to cover the same content over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, they can even rewrite the content created before. Let\u2019s say they are covering topics of product development while having no experience of working on product development before. It doesn\u2019t mean they write a bad article. Quite the opposite \u2013 it will be well researched, backed with facts, and comply with the best copywriting rules. However, it won\u2019t cover a case study or give a new perspective on the topic. That\u2019s where expert content shines.<\/p>\n<p>If you are creating content for experts or the audience that is heavily relying on expert opinion, engage experts in content creation. This will add more authority to the content and get even the most demanding readers interested.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"4\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.3 Organising content in the wrong way<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Visitors landing on your website can be at different stages of a buyer&#8217;s journey. Some of them are not looking for educational articles, explaining the topic for dummies. They have already gone through that stage and know what could solve their problem. They are looking to buy and start comparing offers from different vendors.<\/p>\n<p>If you are creating top of the funnel content, you won\u2019t be able to reach those who are considering offers and are ready to buy. That\u2019s why you have to create more bottom of the funnel content. Check out the differences between content funnel stages below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28802\" style=\"width: 1740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28802\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2.png\" alt=\"Sales Funnel\" width=\"1730\" height=\"952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2.png 1730w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-328x180.png 328w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-236x130.png 236w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-1536x845.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-768x423.png 768w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image2-480x264.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1730px) 100vw, 1730px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/artifexstudio.com.au\/resources\/business-processes\/sales-funnels-stages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artifex<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have gone through three major reasons that cause your content to underperform. So how can you start creating the content without making costly mistakes? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing the right content is like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intellias.com\/custom-software-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">developing a product<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 you have to ask your users first, do proper research with open-source data, and get back to a drawing board.

Instead of putting everything at stake by starting to create content from scratch, it\u2019s better to take a safer approach. Let\u2019s see how you can improve your content creation process with a strategy of small steps applying smart UX and UI strategies.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"6\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.1 Conduct user interviews to collect ideas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As we have mentioned earlier in the article, gathering user feedback can give you ideas on what content your user would engage with. You could start with <a href=\"https:\/\/metacake.com\/3-stages-ux-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UX research<\/a> for the content you have created in the past. Here is how this process works in a nutshell.<\/p>\n<p>First, invite a few users for an interview by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmailbird.com\/professional-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing a professional email<\/a>. Then show them the content you have been creating so far. Ask questions on how they see it and if they find it interesting. Then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reallysimplesystems.com\/blog\/user-behaviour-data-for-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collect feedback<\/a> and suggestions on what topics they would be most interested in that you haven\u2019t covered.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/uptech.team\/blog\/how-to-conduct-usability-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conduct usability testing<\/a> of your blog the way you would do with a new product or an online app. When asked, users can tell you what they like and dislike about your blog structure. By acting on their feedback and improving your content, you can get users to read more on your blog, convert into leads, and finally \u2013 paying customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28805\" style=\"width: 1444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28805\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6.png\" alt=\"Empathy Trainer\" width=\"1434\" height=\"1048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6.png 1434w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6-328x240.png 328w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6-178x130.png 178w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6-768x561.png 768w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6-1024x748.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image6-480x351.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1434px) 100vw, 1434px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.prototypr.io\/strategy-and-information-architecture-in-web-design-understanding-user-needs-and-client-needs-87327028d31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Protypr.io<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting users to talk will help you understand what areas of content creation you could do better, what topics make more sense for your target audience, and what type of content you could create more (and which you have to kill forever)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, user interviews and usability testing can be an eye-opening experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser-post\" style=\"background: #f6f6f6;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"left-side\" style=\"color: #333333;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser-post-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Carefree test user recruiting<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We help product, design, UX and marketing teams get real and actionable user feedback.

In other words, you are writing for keywords with a high search volume. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content editors are usually using SEO tools such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sitechecker.pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitechecker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discover popular topics and keywords. They are evaluating keyword potential by search volume, keyword difficulty, and the number of clicks. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a keyword to rank on, you would most likely go with the one having the highest search volume and lowest difficulty rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you really focus on such keywords? It depends on search intent \u2013 something the tools won\u2019t tell you \u2013 you have to evaluate it on your own.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the keyword \u201chire developer\u201d has a relatively low volume and is hard to rank for.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28808\" style=\"width: 2009px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28808\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3.png\" alt=\"Dashboard Ahrefs\" width=\"1999\" height=\"697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-328x114.png 328w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-262x91.png 262w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-1920x669.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-1536x536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-768x268.png 768w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-1024x357.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image3-480x167.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahrefs<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, it makes more sense to write content on this topic rather than \u201cwomen in tech\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28811\" style=\"width: 2009px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28811\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4.png\" alt=\"Dashboard Ahrefs\" width=\"1999\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-262x92.png 262w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-1920x675.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-1536x540.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-1024x360.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.testingtime.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image4-480x169.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28811\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahrefs<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This keyword has a huge volume and clicks, but would it convert in more leads for your development agency?\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have a choice, go for transactional keywords such as \u201chire a developer\u201d rather than informational ones (\u201cwomen in tech\u201d). This way you will drive high-quality traffic that will bring you more sales. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, you would have to think critically to understand if a given search query has a high potential to bring users who convert.

Some might already know what they want. Others know they have a problem but don\u2019t know how to solve it \u2013 only after some time, they could discover your business can provide a solution. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you are offering an e-learning app in a subscription model. Some of your clients are convinced that 20-minute daily learning is the easiest way to learn French. They have already chosen an online app and prefer it to online courses or classes with a tutor. Others would still have to decide what suits them more \u2013\u00a0online classes, a language app, or classes with a tutor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would create different content for both groups. For the first one, you would think of some articles or videos like \u201c10 best e-learning apps to master French\u201d. For the other group, you would go with the topic such as \u201cE-learning app vs. online language course \u2013 the best way to learn French\u201d.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you see, the two groups would have different content needs that you have to account for.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, as you have prepared some content for different groups of users, how can you ensure your content is well-connected and lead users to the action you want them to take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding some calls-to-action to connect your content in one holistic system is your answer, so let\u2019s look into it in depth.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser-post\" style=\"background: #f6f6f6;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"left-side\" style=\"color: #333333;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser-post-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>UX Testing Kit<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The TestingTime User Testing Kit contains everything you need to successfully conduct user research: a test script template with helpful tips for each phase of the user test, an observation record template, and an analysis spreadsheet template for user tests.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"read-more-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.testingtime.com\/user-testing-kits\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead more\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"right-side\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"teaser-2-image\" class=\"teaser-post-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3><a id=\"5\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.4 Connect the dots with calls-to-action<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have prepared content fitting different levels of user awareness, it\u2019s time to connect the dots. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s come back to our example of language learning apps to see how articles can be connected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a user reads a comparison article \u201cE-learning app vs. online language course \u2013 the best way to learn French\u201d, you would want to lead him to the next one \u201c10 best e-learning apps to master French\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because your reader has already learned about the benefits of e-learning apps.
