# Content marketing

:::summary[TL;DR]
**Objective** — Turn random posts into a **keyword-led calendar** that attracts your ICP and feeds signups.

:::note[For beginners and agents]
Read TL;DR → phases below → fold checklist items into your project board before writing.
:::

## Why it matters

Publishing without strategy burns founder time. Keyword research plus a 90-day calendar keeps every article tied to **intent** (problem-aware vs product-aware) and **ownership** (founder vs coder).

```mermaid
graph TD
  ICP["Document ICP + pain points"] --> KW["Seed keywords → prioritize"]
  KW --> Cal["3-month calendar"]
  Cal --> Pub["Create → promote → measure"]
```

## Phases (from source workflow)

### 1 · Audience research 👤

- Document ideal customer profile and top five pain points.
- Audit competitor content — note gaps your product uniquely fills.
- List existing blog/docs URLs so you do not duplicate.

### 2 · Keyword research 👤/💻

- Brainstorm 20–30 seed keywords; expand with Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Ubersuggest.
- Prioritize by **search intent + volume**; pick ~10 cornerstone topics.
- Map each cornerstone to one funnel stage (awareness → consideration → decision).

### 3 · Editorial calendar 👤

- Set publishing frequency (e.g. 2 posts/month) and content types (how-to, comparison, case study).
- Assign owner per row; block time before launch crunch.

### 4 · Creation & distribution 🔀

- Draft → review → publish on your blog platform.
- Lead magnets and email capture on high-intent posts.
- Promote via newsletter, social, and communities — track UTM per channel.

## Verification checklist

- [ ] ICP and pain points written down
- [ ] 10 cornerstone topics chosen with primary keyword each
- [ ] 90-day calendar with dates and owners
- [ ] Analytics goal configured (signups or trial starts from content)
