Content Strategy Planner

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan what to write about, when, and for whom to drive traffic and build authority.

What each one does

A/B Test Setup

  • Helps you write a clear hypothesis for what you're testing and why
  • Calculates how much traffic and time you need for statistically valid results
  • Guides you in choosing primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics to track
  • Explains how to design test variants that isolate a single meaningful change
  • Analyzes results and tells you whether the difference is real or just noise

Content Strategy Planner

  • Identifies content pillars and topic clusters aligned with your business and audience
  • Maps content ideas to buyer journey stages (awareness, consideration, decision, implementation)
  • Analyzes keyword data and customer research to find high-impact topics
  • Recommends specific content types (hub/spoke guides, templates, case studies, thought leadership)
  • Prioritizes searchable vs shareable content based on your goals

When to pick each one
