Content Strategy and Planning
A useful content program begins with decisions about the audience, business objective, customer stage, topic, format, distribution, and measurement. We help organize those decisions before production begins.
Depending on the project, strategy work may include:
- Audience and customer-journey review.
- Business-goal and content-purpose definition.
- Brand voice and messaging guidance.
- Topic and content-gap research.
- Search-intent evaluation.
- Content-format recommendations.
- Editorial calendar planning.
- Content briefs and outlines.
- Internal-linking and website-placement recommendations.
- Distribution and repurposing planning.
- Performance measurement planning.
Search data can help identify questions and opportunities, but search volume alone is not a sufficient reason to create a page. We consider whether Lighthouse or the client can provide useful expertise, original information, examples, experience, or analysis that makes the content worth reading.
