If you know who your audience is, then you’re half way there. You only have to segment it and draw a customer mapping to help you better understand how to address your audience’s issues.
You then need to figure out what type of content, when and where to deliver it.
However, it is crucial that whichever content you may publish, you need to make sure it is relevant, well written if you want to attract and retain your online visitors.
