26. Use PPC to Test Content
and Messaging
• Which keywords should you be writing
about most on your blog?
• How broadly can you be thinking with
your keyword research? Do interests
tangential to your value proposition
translate into a qualified lead for your
business?
• Which landing page designs are best for
each interest segment?
• What is the ideal next step for a prospect
with a particular interest? Should it be
passed directly to the sales team or
nurtured? If nurtured, with a particular
blog article, call to action, or a white
paper?
• Does your sales team need training on
leads with specific types of interests?
