Content funnel
What is Content funnel?
A content funnel maps pieces of content to stages of a buyer's journey — discovery, trust, decision — and links each stage to the next with a specific call to action.
Short-form social is discovery. Long-form articles, newsletters and case studies are trust. Offers, demos and consultations are decision. A funnel fails when a stage is missing or when nothing links one stage to the next.
