Why is content important?

“You are all in publishing!”
Jeffrey Zeldman, king of the web

A content strategy gives you the structure to decide what to
publish, accounts for the resources you have,
and helps you plan for the future.

People don’t visit your site to see the amazing design.

People don’t visit your site for a great user experience.

They want your content.

you reduce the quality, it interferes with that experience.”

It’s also a lot of work, if you want to do it well.
![Page 19: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Divide into teams of 2-3 people. We’re going to go analyze some web content.
![Page 20: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When you’re in your teams, get a website from me.
Then we’ll go to the computer lab.
![Page 21: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pull up your site on a computer.Start looking through the content.
Click through as many pages as you can.
![Page 22: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Gut check: Is it good?Is there enough? Too much?
Take notes.
![Page 23: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Be ready to spend 5 minutes telling us:What content was useful and usable?
What content was missing?What’s the most ridiculous thing you found?
![Page 24: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And we’re back downstairs. Keep your burger joint in mind as we
discuss more content tactics.
![Page 25: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 1:Know what content you’re working with.
![Page 26: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The content inventory: The cornerstone of any
successful content strategy!
![Page 27: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How do you know if your content is good?
Inventory and audit.
![Page 28: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Inventory: What content do we have?
![Page 29: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Audit: How good is the content we have?
![Page 30: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The content inventory
![Page 31: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yes. It really is a big, big spreadsheet
that documents every page—every piece of content—
on your website.
![Page 32: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How do you do a content inventory? Click each link on your site.
Document what you find.
![Page 33: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Or get a bot to do it for you.
![Page 34: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Things often tracked in a content inventory:• Page ID/number• URL• Page Title• Parent • Page Description• Components• SEO Information (metadata, keywords)• Who inside the organization owns that content.
![Page 35: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The inventory is quantitative. What’s on the site?
![Page 36: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Followup: the content audit.That’s qualitative: How good is what you’ve got?
![Page 37: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Is there ROT?Look for content that’s:
RedundantOutdated or
Trivial
![Page 38: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
You can tailor an audit to evaluate all kinds of qualities. Is content on brand?
Is it accessible?Do people understand it?
Is it meeting customer needs?Is it in a usable format?
(There are many possible measures.)
![Page 39: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
So your audit uncovers some problems.
Now what?
![Page 40: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Remember the nutshell:1. What content do we have?2. What content do we need?3. Fill the gap: edit, create & curate.
![Page 41: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Erin Kissane’s even shorter breakdown:
1. Evaluate.2. Design.3. Execute.
![Page 42: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Step 2: Give yourself metrics for evaluating content.
![Page 43: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Message Architecture
What are your brand’s key messages?
Are you delivering them? How?Does your audience believe
you?
![Page 44: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Your message architecture is not a tagline, or a mission
statement. It’s communication goals.
Specific terminology.The backbone of your
messaging.
![Page 45: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What content on the site–just content, not layout–can we keep,
as is?What needs to be edited?
What’s missing and needs to be created?
And what needs to be killed?
![Page 46: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Let’s try an exercise. Let’s come up with a message architecture
for each of your burger joints.
![Page 47: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
When you know your messaging architecture,all of your content can be on brand.
Even the details!
![Page 48: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

![Page 52: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
![Page 53: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
One example of contrasts: Cook’s Illustrated vs. Allrecipes.com
![Page 54: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
“I hate the idea that cooking should be a celebration or a party. Cooking is about putting food on the table night after night,
and there isn’t anything glamorous about it. Cooking isn’t creative, and it isn’t easy.
It’s serious, and it’s hard to do well, just as everything worth doing is damn hard.”
![Page 55: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
![Page 56: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Neither approach is the right approach.They work for their respective companies.
![Page 57: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
So we’ve done steps 1 and 2. We’re doing content strategy!
![Page 58: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
This would be a good time for lunch, if we haven’t done it already.
![Page 59: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Back up a sec:What is content strategy?

First word: What is content?

Useful: How does this content benefit you?
How does it benefit your user?

Usable: Can people find, consume, and act on your
content?
![Page 79: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Speaking of “usable”:Is content strategy part of
user experience (UX)?
![Page 80: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
You can’t create great UX around bad content.

“(God help a business if UX isn’t one of their business goals, but helping the user
isn’t an inherent part of content strategy).”

One more thing to note: “Content strategy is not a single solution
or deliverable. It's a process and a mindset.”
![Page 84: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

“Important content like FAQs, Docs, Press Releases, Welcome messages, etc.
sometimes fall into some other bucket of ‘Content That Does No Marketing™.’
Bullshit. It’s all marketing when you’re doing it right.”

Let’s look at a couple of real, recent examples of
content marketing informed by content strategy.
![Page 100: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)

Another example: Burt’s Bees

Again, having that architecture helps you
drive what you produce. It makes you more effective at collaboration with other departments, such as SEO.

have different emphases.

What makes good content?

“Good content” is in the eye of the beholder. Ultimately, your
users decide.
![Page 119: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
What are your goals?What is your content supposed
to achieve for you?
![Page 120: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
“There’s really only one central principle of good content: it should be appropriate for your business, for your users, and for its context. Appropriate in its method of delivery, in its style and structure, and above all in its substance.”

One thing to keep in mind:
Content strategy is a process. It’s a cycle. It never really ends.
![Page 123: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)

Content strategy is a design discipline.You are contributing to the way
something functions at its very core.Content experts should be involved
from the beginning of a web design project.
![Page 125: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
“Content first!”

“Content is king!”
![Page 127: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
“Design from the content out!”
![Page 128: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Step 4: Always Be Asking Questions
![Page 129: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Talk to everyone involved with the content, preferably one-on-one, about what they need and want from the site’s content.
![Page 130: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
The goal is to get an idea of how content works within the
organization.
![Page 131: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
ASK QUESTIONS. (Go with the classics: who,
what, when, where, why, and how.)
![Page 132: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
Who’s supplying the content?Who is the target audience?
Who’s maintaining the content?
![Page 133: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
What content do we need?
![Page 134: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
When will we publish?
![Page 135: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Where will we publish? (Our site, email, Facebook,
Twitter, etc.)
![Page 136: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
How will all of this get done?
![Page 137: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
And a big one, especially in discovery:
WHY? Why do we need a blog? Why do we need a Twitter
feed?Why aren’t we using a CMS?
Etc.
![Page 138: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
Step 5:What’s your style?
![Page 139: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Editorial Style Guide
What’s our tone? Which dictionary do we
consult?Do we use the serial comma?
![Page 140: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)

Editorial process
Who’s creating our content? How do we decide it’s good
enough?How do we evaluate its
effectiveness?
![Page 142: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
Editorial Calendar
How do we decide when to publish?
(Tweet twice a day? Update home page when new products launch? Respond to holidays? Respond to news events? How
quickly? Etc.)
![Page 143: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Step 6: Figure out what your content looks like. Even on the inside.
![Page 144: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
Content Template(a.k.a. Page Table)
What needs to go on each kind of page? Includes both visible
and invisible content. Accompanies site map and wireframes. Communication
bridge between subject matter experts and writers.

And content strategy is not, ultimately, about learning a
particular tool. The tools help the process, but they’re not the
point of the process.
![Page 149: Intro to Content Strategy: January 2013](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4e956bb61eb7d158b4663/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Also, not every project is a site-wide redesign. Content strategy
works on a project-by-project basis.

to be archived or updated.Use the editorial calendar.
Use a rolling audit. Budget time to get that done.
