What Is a Content Marketing Funnel?

A content marketing funnel represents the stages that a customer goes through from their first content exposure to the step where the conversion is made. Conversions include things like submitting an email, signing up for a free trial, or making a purchase. Just like any other sales funnel, a content marketing funnel traces the buyer’s journey from awareness to the conversion decision.

Why Have a Content Marketing Funnel?

Why should you have a content marketing funnel in place? Well, here are a few reasons why you should have a content marketing funnel:

The Stages of a Content Marketing Funnel

A content marketing funnel usually consists of the same basic 3 stages as listed below:

The Top Part of the Funnel

The top of a content marketing funnel is where you capture your audience’s attention with blog posts, videos, or social media posts.

The Middle Part of the Funnel

The middle part of the content marketing funnel is where you capture leads from your audience by offering something valuable such as a FREE ebook, and an email sign-up form for example. You can nurture these leads with email automation to go to the bottom part of the funnel.

The Bottom Part of the Funnel

The bottom and final part of the content marketing funnel is where you will turn your nurtured leads into paying clients or customers. This stage includes CTAs, Case Studies, Testimonials, Free Trials, Demos, and more.
