Full-funnel content marketing is a strategy that creates and distributes content tailored to every stage of the buyer journey — from first discovering a problem to making a purchase decision (and even beyond). The goal is to attract, educate, and convert leads by meeting them where they are in the funnel.
It’s not just about blog posts or product pages — it’s about aligning your content to each phase:
- Top-of-funnel (TOFU): Awareness-stage content like blog posts, social media, and videos that help people discover you and learn something new.
- Middle-of-funnel (MOFU): Consideration content like ebooks, webinars, or comparison guides that educate leads and build trust.
- Bottom-of-funnel (BOFU): Decision-stage content like case studies, demos, or ROI calculators that help buyers say “yes.”
Example:
Let’s say you sell a data visualization tool.
- For TOFU, you publish a blog post: “5 Signs Your Data Team Needs Better Dashboards.”
- For MOFU, you offer a whitepaper: “How to Evaluate BI Tools: A 10-Point Checklist.”
- For BOFU, you send leads a case study showing how a similar company improved reporting speed by 40% using your product.
By using full-funnel content, you guide prospects from curious readers to loyal customers.
