Content Journey Stitcher

Map content gaps across the real buyer journey

Many teams publish a lot but still miss the "journey glue" that moves buyers from problem awareness to conversion. This recipe maps the buyer journey to content assets, identifies gaps, and generates a prioritized content backlog tied to funnel stage.

PROMPT

How It Works

This is a content strategy gap analysis grounded in journey stages and conversion intent.

Triggers

  • Lots of traffic, weak conversions
  • Content feels random; stakeholders request "more content" without a plan

Inputs

  • ICP/personas and top objections
  • Current content inventory (URLs, type, stage)
  • Conversion paths (CTA → form → demo → purchase)

Outputs

  • Journey map (stages, questions, proof needed)
  • Content gap list (missing topics, missing formats)
  • Backlog prioritized by impact and effort

Actions / Steps

  1. Define journey stages and the "decision question" at each stage.
  2. Classify existing assets by stage.
  3. Identify gaps: missing proof, missing comparisons, missing implementation guides.
  4. Produce briefs for the top 5–15 backlog items with KPIs per item.

Parameters

  • Stage model (3-stage vs 5-stage)
  • Priority weighting (pipeline impact vs traffic)
