By using these tools you can hone in on these visitors and deliver the right message to the right users.
Step 3: Map Your Content to Users
Matching content to users and anticipating their interests is known as content mapping. It's a key technique for using the customer journey to provide the information visitors are looking for, when they are looking for it. Not doing this will have a negative impact on your website performance. 74% of users feel frustrated when the website content is not tailored to their needs or interests (source).
