ADVICE

Measure Content by Purpose

  • Tie content measurements directly to your strategic goals and what matters for your business.
  • Measure what you will actually use to make changes, focusing on engagement over simple page views.
ADVICE

Structure for Readability

  • Use subheads, bullet points, numbering, and pull quotes to make long content more scannable and engaging.
  • Help readers anticipate and digest content better by structuring text for easy navigation.
INSIGHT

Content Effectiveness is Variable

  • Individual content performance varies widely; insights from one piece don’t guarantee universal success.
  • Effective content depends on topic, angle, and consistent testing rather than formulas.
