Content marketing that drives customer action
Content marketing is at the heart of digital marketing. It helps build your brand, generates sales-ready leads, and improves the performance of all your other marketing channels.

Successful customer journeys are built on content
A digital buying journey is shaped by the content and the pathways it creates. Without content and structured customer journeys, digital sales are neither possible nor effective. We focus on creating MRACE®-based customer journeys that naturally guide your website visitors toward conversions and inquiries.
Content marketing aligned with the MRACE® model
Maximizes the value of content as measurable results
Improves rankings in search engines, including AI assisted search experiences
Educates buyers about your unique differentiators
Engages customers with your brand

Addressing awareness levels
The MRACE® customer journey is built with content that meets the informational needs and awareness levels of your buyer personas. Customers fall into five awareness levels, and your marketing must adapt accordingly:
- Unaware: We create educational content to attract new audiences.
- Problem aware: We explain how your buyer persona can solve their problem.
- Solution aware: We show how your solution helps them achieve their goals.
- Product aware: We assist in comparisons by highlighting your differentiators and value propositions.
- Fully aware: We create content that makes it easy for them to choose you.

Create content that inspires action
Content influences every stage of the customer journey and addresses all awareness levels.
Capture attention and evoke emotion: Help your customers see why your product or service is the right choice.
Drive action: Encourage your buyer personas to do something they wouldn’t otherwise—whether it’s exploring more content on your site, downloading resources, discovering your product, making a purchase, or contacting you.
Build loyalty: Use additional content marketing to deepen your customers’ engagement with your business.

FAQ
-
As more information gathering and comparison happens directly in search engines and through AI, high-quality, distinctive content that meets users’ informational needs is becoming more critical than ever.
While AI can assist in content creation, relying solely on AI-generated content isn’t advisable. AI doesn’t produce truly original, insightful, or strategic content tailored to your buyer personas or aligned with your brand-building goals. Instead, AI primarily combines existing information and often falls short of professional quality. Search engines may also penalize websites that rely too heavily on purely AI-generated text.
The key isn’t how much or how quickly content is created—it’s whether the content meets the marketing and sales goals set for it. The greatest value comes from skilled professionals who understand both technology and how to effectively use AI in content production.

Your website is where visitors from other channels, like Google, are directed. If you improve your website content and increase your conversion rate by just few percents, the resulting revenue growth over a year can be substantial—especially if your site receives high traffic.
Content not only impacts your website’s performance but also enhances other channels. For example, in social media or Google Ads, an ad can direct a buyer persona to content tailored to their searches and awareness level, placing them in the right stage of the customer journey at the right time. This improves ad quality scores, reducing costs.
Additionally, optimized content ranks higher in search results, generating free, organic traffic to your site on an ongoing basis.
-
When you invest in creating a comprehensive, high-quality piece of content or a content package, it will continue to drive traffic and results over time—even without additional ad spend.
By regularly enriching the customer journey with new content, your results multiply in the long run. The best part? You don’t need to reinvest in every piece of content each month to keep it visible and effective.
Well-produced content is easy to adapt into different formats. At SDM, for example, we create audio and multilingual versions of our texts for clients, enhancing accessibility, search engine visibility, and AI-powered information retrieval. Key messages from our content can also be distilled into other channels, such as social media, email, and marketing automation, ensuring maximum impact across your digital marketing efforts.

Even well-established brands may have plenty of good content on their websites, yet it doesn’t always deliver the desired results. You might recognize some common challenges that signal a need for improving your content marketing:
- You’re unsure if your content forms a clear, customer-journey-like structure.
- You worry that valuable content is scattered and hidden across the site.
- No one knows exactly how much content exists, where it’s located, or how effective it is.
- You create content regularly, but there’s no clear overarching plan or set goals.
- You focus on repeating specific keywords, but this alone isn’t enough to meet SEO standards.
At SDM, we structure content with a clear purpose as part of your broader digital marketing strategy:
- Every piece of content—new or existing—serves a larger goal, ensuring no content goes to waste.
- Results are measurable using SEO and CRO metrics.
- Content outcomes align with your marketing and sales objectives.
- You begin to own critical content assets in your industry, boosting your presence in Google search results and AI tools. This enhances your brand and positions you as a thought leader in your field.
