Content Plan
Describe a brand + goal — get content pillars, funnel mapping, cadence, and topics.
How it works
Corpus-grounded (content marketing + jobs-to-be-done + funnel thinking via the marketing cluster). Builds durable content pillars with formats, maps content types to funnel stages, sets a realistic cadence, generates concrete topic ideas, plans distribution, names the metrics, and flags the riskiest assumptions.

example outputBrand: a fractional-CFO service for seed-to-Series-A startups; goal: inbound qualified leads from founders.
Content plan — Fractional CFO for early-stage startups
Brand: outsourced finance leadership for founders who can't yet hire a full-time CFO. Goal: inbound qualified leads. Grounded in content marketing + jobs-to-be-done + funnel thinking (marketing cluster).
Content pillars
- Runway & Burn — why: the founder's daily anxiety; the search-intent magnet. Formats: calculators, teardown posts, templates.
- Fundraise-Ready Finance — why: maps to the trigger moment (raising). Formats: checklists, data-room guides, investor-update templates.
- Unit Economics, Plainly — why: establishes authority without jargon. Formats: explainers, annotated real-ish examples, short video.
- Finance Hiring Decisions — why: the bottom-funnel "do I need this?" question. Formats: comparison guides, FAQ.
Funnel mapping
- TOFU: runway calculators, "burn rate explained" posts, SEO explainers.
- MOFU: fundraise checklists, template downloads (email gate), webinars.
- BOFU: "fractional vs. full-time CFO" comparison, founder case-style walkthroughs, booking page.
Cadence
Sustainable, not heroic: 1 cornerstone piece/week + 2–3 short social cuts repurposed from it + 1 monthly gated asset.
Topic ideas
- "What 18 months of runway actually means at your burn"
- "The 7-tab data room investors expect at Series A"
- "Fractional vs. full-time CFO: the real cost math"
- "Three unit-economics mistakes that sink seed-stage pitches"
Distribution
Founder-heavy LinkedIn; a niche operator newsletter; SEO on calculator + comparison pages; syndication to startup communities.
Success metrics
Qualified demo requests · gated-asset → call conversion · organic traffic on calculator pages · pipeline sourced.
Riskiest assumptions
- That founders self-educate before buying (vs. acting only on referral).
- That gated templates convert without eroding top-funnel reach.
