   Thanks for the heads up! When you’re creating your content strategy, you need to identify each type of buyer that could potentially be arriving at your site. Once you’ve identified these different buyer personas, you’ll need to identify the common problems they’re looking to solve, and create clear paths to the exact information they’ll be seeking.
