💡 1. Measure, Measure, & Measure
Creating content for different buyer’s stages (awareness, consideration,
& decision) is important but not enough.
To get most out of your content effort, you need to figure out the content platform, traffic sources, etc.
One easy way to kick-off the analyzing part, consider every stage of your marketing funnel, from the awareness stage to closing sales or retaining customers.
Analyze the performance of every stage of the marketing funnel with data. Choosing the right metrics for your startups depend on the business goals you have.
For example, customer churn rate is much more important to a subscription-based business than a service business.
Likewise, monthly traffic and content channels with the most and least traffic are more meaningful to an advertisement-based business.
Start with collecting data for every stage and invest more in what’s already working and eliminate what’s not.

By just typing your keyword, Google will show you some similar/related keyword ideas based on search demand.

But there’s a better way of doing that.
Instead of just typing your keyword, use the ‘+’ sign within the search terms.
For example: ‘SEO + Content’
Here’s how (wait a few seconds to load the GIF):
In that way, you’ll explore Middle and Pre autocomplete suggestions.

EAT (Expertise- Authoritativeness- Trustworthiness) is been there for a long time that ensure that your site is high quality in terms of:
Content on the site
Expertise of your content creators
Credibility of your brand (Third-party mentions, reviews)
