Principle: One core content → multiple formats → multiple channels. Maximize ROI.
| Core Content | Formats | Channels | |--------------|---------|----------| | Case study | Article, video, infographic, slides | Blog, email, LinkedIn, YouTube, sales deck | | How-to guide | Article, video, checklist, PDF | Blog, email, YouTube, docs | | Product update | Article, email, post, video | Blog, email, X, LinkedIn, changelog | | Industry insight | Article, podcast, post, newsletter | Blog, Spotify, X, email |
Example: One client success story → article (blog) + video (YouTube) + infographic (LinkedIn) + slides (sales) → 4 channels from 1 creation.
| Stage | Content Focus | Channels | |-------|---------------|----------| | Awareness | Education, thought leadership, glossary, how-tos | Blog, SEO, social, PR | | Consideration | Comparisons, case studies, demos, features | Blog, email, landing, social | | Decision | Pricing, testimonials, product pages, case studies | Website, email, sales | | Retention | Onboarding, newsletter, product updates, changelog | Email, in-app, blog |
Article types by orientation—drives structure, SEO depth, and schema choice. See article-page-generator for page structure.
| Orientation | Examples | Primary Goal | SEO Priority | |-------------|----------|--------------|--------------| | Funding / PR | Funding rounds, acquisitions, executive hires | Brand awareness, press, investor relations | Low — thin content, few search queries | | Product updates | Feature launches, release notes, changelogs | User education, product adoption | Low–medium — internal announcements rarely rank | | Guides / How-to | Tutorials, step-by-step, best practices | Education, lead nurture, authority | High — matches search intent | | News / Trending | Industry news, hot topics, seasonal | Engagement, social shares, topical relevance | Medium — quick traffic spikes, short shelf life | | Evergreen | Pillar guides, glossaries, comparisons | Long-term traffic, backlinks, authority | High — compounds over time |
SEO-driven vs non-SEO-driven: SEO-driven (how-to, listicles, comparisons) → target keywords, full optimization. Non-SEO-driven (funding, product updates) → focus on clarity, shareability, internal linking to SEO content. Hybrid: product launch posts can include SEO-friendly sections (e.g., "How to use [feature]").
| Mix | Ratio | Use | |-----|-------|-----| | Evergreen | 70–75% | Pillar guides, how-tos, comparisons, glossaries; long-term traffic; refresh 6–12 months | | Timely | 25–30% | Seasonal, trending, news; quick spikes; link into evergreen pillars |
Evergreen vs timely (article-level): Evergreen = year-round relevance; steady traffic; refresh every 6–12 months. Timely = weeks to months; spikes then decline; often one-and-done; use NewsArticle schema. Recommended mix: 70/30 or 60/40 evergreen-to-timely.
