Your content marketing strategy is a guiding light when questions like "what are we doing?" or "why are we doing this again?" arise. You want a strategy that is specific enough to your company, audience, and circumstances that it can actually provide a framework for answering those questions. But you also want a strategy that is nimble enough to flex and change as your company, audience, and circumstances do.
Vision for 3-5 years then work toward a plan on how content will help you achieve that vision
Audience needs
Target audience:
Demographic info (age, gender, location, etc)
Where they are on the net? (What other sites do they frequent?)
What channels do they use to communicate? (Is this a Twitter crowd or an Instagram one?)
Who do they listen to? (Time to figure out who their influencers are.)
What are their pain points?
An in-depth look at the content you've already created
Topic
Length
Tone – funny- professional
Relevance
Datedness
Features (Proper SEO, lots of images, infgraphic, embedded videos)Add success metrics to each content and then analyze it:
Traffic
Engagement metrics (time on page, number of pages visited)
Social shares
Step 4: Analyze the data for patterns and gaps
Business goalsFormulate your goals so that they are meaningful, measurable, and time-bound and that they are things your content can reasonably accomplish. For example, "increase our ranking for 'wedding dresses' to #1 by the end of Q2" might actually rely on your SEO and development teams as much as your content team. A better goal would be to "create and publish the most comprehensive guide to wedding dress fabrics available on the Internet by the end of Q2."

The first thing we need to do is point out the elephant in the room: Numbers can be used to lie just as much as they're used to tell the truth. Numbers are just that: numbers. They can be used to paint a picture—by you or someone else—and the painter gets to choose what to include in and exclude from that painting.
