Real content strategists shook their heads in disgust.

This is not a
good idea…
… no proof!

Avoid Flying Blind With Data
• Skip topic generators• Don’t blindly copy competitors• Don’t write with an “inside baseball” voice
![Page 24: Using Data to Create Topics Bots & Visitors Will Love](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5881d6b11a28ab331a8b68e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It’s Time To…
Start Digging.
![Page 25: Using Data to Create Topics Bots & Visitors Will Love](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5881d6b11a28ab331a8b68e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 1. The Wheel Of Needs• Who are the target consumers? • What are business goals?• What is the company’s mission?• What do targets care about?– What do they care about that ties directly with goals
(bottom funnel)– What do they care about that ties loosely with goals (top
funnel)• Ask business stakeholders!!!• Create a visual - Doesn’t need to be fancy –
Powerpoint will do

![Page 27: Using Data to Create Topics Bots & Visitors Will Love](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5881d6b11a28ab331a8b68e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Step 2. Competitive Research• Choose your “search” competitors• Look them up in SEMrush – very easy to spot
well ranking topics!
![Page 28: Using Data to Create Topics Bots & Visitors Will Love](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5881d6b11a28ab331a8b68e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Step 3. More Competitive Research• Repeat with more competitors (the more, the
better).• Aggregate everything you find together into one
large list of various competitor posts / topics.• Bonus step: Classify and categorize based on
what goals – this helps prioritize later.• SEMrush provides rankings, but use URLprofiler
to get more metrics.• Use Screaming Frog to get more details about
the content.

Step 4. Analyze• For every URL, you now have enough data to
evaluate if the post was a hit or a miss:– Ranking position vs. estimated searches– Link counts (high counts may suggest popularity)– Social metrics (also may suggest popularity)
The only data you don’t have is actual traffic and conversion numbers.

Other Ingredients of Better Content• Appeals to search engines and users equally• It is holistic– Topics have sub-concepts. Be thorough!– Hummingbird update wants this
• It’s easy to read– Usability as a signal
• It has a goal. The user will do something after consuming the content.

attention!
• Aim Big. • Build the team that takes the time to generate and
bring big ideas to life. Don’t skimp!• Do the research. Promote the data. Fire!!!
