Go-to-Market Content Plan
Align your content with product launches and GTM motions. Map content to launch phases, buyer stages, and sales enablement needs.
Best for: Startups launching new products or entering new markets
Launch Context & Positioning
300-400 wordsDefine what you're launching, for whom, and why now. Clarify the positioning statement and key differentiators. Content should reinforce positioning at every touchpoint — if your messaging isn't crisp here, it won't be crisp anywhere.
Pre-Launch Content (T-minus 30 days)
400-500 wordsBuild anticipation with problem-awareness content. Publish 3-5 pieces that validate the pain point your product solves without mentioning the product. SEO-optimized thought leadership that ranks and earns trust before the pitch.
Launch Week Content
400-500 wordsPlan the announcement post, product walkthrough, and comparison content. Create a 'why we built this' narrative piece. Prepare social snippets, email copy, and sales one-pagers that all draw from the same messaging framework.
Post-Launch Content (Days 7-60)
400-500 wordsShift to use-case content, customer stories, and how-to guides. Address objections through comparison posts and FAQ content. This phase is where SEO content starts compounding — publish consistently.
Sales Enablement Content
300-400 wordsCreate bottom-of-funnel assets: ROI calculators, case studies, competitive battle cards, and objection-handling guides. Map each asset to a specific sales stage and objection it addresses.
Channel Strategy
300-400 wordsPrioritize 2-3 channels per launch phase. Pre-launch: earned media and community. Launch: email, social, paid. Post-launch: SEO and retargeting. Don't blast every channel simultaneously — sequence for maximum impact.
Success Metrics by Phase
200-300 wordsDefine different KPIs for each phase. Pre-launch: email signups, social engagement. Launch week: traffic spikes, trial signups. Post-launch: organic ranking velocity, conversion rates, pipeline attribution.
Pro Tips
Start your SEO content 60-90 days before launch. By launch day, those pieces will be indexed and starting to rank — giving you organic momentum on day one.
Build one comprehensive 'pillar' page for the launch that becomes the permanent SEO asset. All campaign content links back to this page, concentrating authority.
Record every customer question during the first 30 days post-launch. These become your next quarter's content topics — real questions beat assumed ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I start GTM content?+
90 days minimum for SEO content, 30 days for campaign content. The biggest mistake is starting content the week of launch — by then, you're in reactive mode. Averi's content queue can accelerate this timeline significantly.
How much content do I need for a product launch?+
At minimum: 1 announcement post, 3 supporting SEO pieces, 2 comparison/alternative pages, 1 case study or use case, and a landing page. That's 8 pieces — enough for a lean launch that builds over time.
Should GTM content be different from ongoing content?+
Yes in urgency and specificity, no in quality. GTM content is more tightly focused on a specific product and buyer, but it should still be SEO-optimized and structured for long-term organic value, not just launch-day traffic.
