Know your Content Strengths & Weaknesses

KNOW WHICH B2B MARKETING CONTENT TO KEEP, KILL, UPDATE OR ADD: CONDUCT A CONTENT AUDIT.

Once you have a deep understanding of your buyer personas and their buying journeys, turning your attention to developing B2B marketing content is a natural next step. However, many marketers don’t know where to get started and hope that some of their existing marketing content can be salvaged.

A content audit is a laborious process of evaluating each piece of B2B marketing content against a variety of criteria to determine whether it should be kept, killed, updated or complimented with the addition of new material.

The results of a content audit provide the insights needed to make intelligent decisions on B2B marketing content strategy and development for all stages of the buyer journeys and for all marketing functions including demand generation, lead nurturing and sales enablement.
