When you align content to your buyer’s journey, you can easily draw in visitors through your funnel and lead them towards an eventual purchase action.

But how do you check that each piece of content is doing its job at the correct stage ?

Does the content of your awareness stage help people explain their problems?

Do your consideration assets show the merits of your solution?

Are your decision pieces persuading prospects that your offer is better than your competitors?

This is why you need to set a goal for each piece of content.

Here are some goals that you can set:

✔️ 1. Acquisition: Attract new visitors
✔️ 2. Activation: Turn visitors into subscribers
✔️ 3. Education: Engage subscribers and keep them coming back
✔️ 4. Revenue: Persuade visitors to make a purchase
✔️ 5. Expansion: Encourage customers to upgrade
✔️ 6. Referral: Delight customers and turn them into evangelists

While activation and acquisition are often associated with the awareness stage, activation depending on the context could also fall into the consideration stage.

What's important here is that assigning goals to content gives you the ability to measure their effectiveness and optimize them.
