2. Assess your content
Find out what’s working
• Check web metrics/analytics
• Look at social sharing
• Ask internal stakeholders

– Sales people, management, PR, support teams
• Poll external stakeholders
– Use a blind survey - phrase so you will get candid feedback
• Go with your gut

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

18
2. Assess your content
Take a critical eye to your existing
content, one section at a time
• Keep business goals in mind
• Review for accuracy, currency
• Notice how and where the same content blocks or
components appear

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

19
2. Assess your content
Remember your target audience – personas
Tone
Length

Language
Knowledge
level of
reader
Content
channel

• Formal or friendly?
• Highlights or deep dive?

• Translation
• Experienced or new to topic? How
much jargon is right?
• Web, mobile, social media, video

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

2. Assess your content

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

21
2. Assess your content
Set aside time for this process – it’s worth it.
(Your readers will thank you.)
• Assess at least once a year; twice is better
– Schedule this so it doesn’t slip off your calendar
– Handle it in chunks so you don’t get overwhelmed
• Or when needed…
– When new products or services launched, old products or
services retired

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

22
How would you assess your
content?

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

23
3. Address the imbalance
• Pace yourself
• Focus on high-value content first
– Existing
– New

• What needs localizing?
• Create templates for content
• Establish governance
@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

24
3. Address the imbalance
Pace yourself - focus on high-value content
first
• Existing Content
– Update the content that’s working best

– 20% of content generates 80% of interest

• New Content
– Fill in gaps or expand in successful content areas

– Repurpose content you already have

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

25
3. Address the imbalance
Repurpose existing content whenever possible.
What can be repurposed? Everything!

26
3. Address the imbalance
What needs translating or localizing?
(Even if you think you’re not a multilingual company, you are.)

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

27
3. Address the imbalance
Create templates for your content
• Content “components”
– Title
– Taglines/slogans

– Product descriptions, short and long
– Charts, graphs, data
– Boilerplate

@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

28
3. Address the imbalance
Create cleaner content (from now on).
• Consider an authoring tool for consistency, SEO
• Establish governance processes
– Document your content creation, approval, publishing, and storage
processes
– Revisit your CMS architecture once a year
– Use and share a style guide
– Keep a “Content Audit” folder to remind you of needed updates

• Decide when and how to archive
@Experis_GCS @AllisonYJoyce #ContentAudit @LavaCon

29
