How to Use a Headless CMS to Improve Audience Reach

The 1, 2, 3 of a content strategy

Now that we’ve approached the meaning and composition of a content strategy, how is it done and how do we approach these steps:

1. Determine what kind of content you need, and what your users engage better with.
2. Decide the navigation route for that content and how it should be structured in Expresia.
3. Develop the required content types.

Now, how do I apply my content strategy to a headless CMS?

Once you've defined a content strategy, your headless CMS is the best tool to manage it. Now, you'll be able to start saving time as you won't need to manually replicate as much of your content across platforms and communication channels, the headless CMS does it for you.. When moving to a headless CMS you'll have to adopt a new approach around how you think of content and where you want to deliver it.

A Headless CMS can populate content on mobile apps, websites, and pretty much any other communication funnel you can think of. It is the only content management tool you'll ever need, all from a single layer. A clear path for content improves brand recognition, achieves brand awareness, and expands the audience reach by reusing content strategically. The most important step here is to organize and restructure your content in as many ways as you want to guarantee an easier reuse and an extension of its lifespan.

Extend your audience reach

Content is king, but data is key. With all of the information out there, the game, in essence, is about the content that your users find useful and relevant, that's why personalization is critical. What kind of things are relevant for your user? How are you conquering the user interests and needs?

When you start putting content out there, that's where the whole audience reach game starts. This is the moment when the tools to extend the content impact become something huge. Although, simply posting isn't enough. There is a ton of information everywhere, every day, and it might be a rough path to hold the interest of your users. But, how does a headless CMS improve audience reach?

Headless CMS is the orchestrator of content delivery through a growing number of channels. Let's put it this way: If you create any piece of content, bring to your mind the material you'd like to put out there.

You create the content with a few keywords included which allows you to reach a wider audience, however you need a tool that actually delivers it. What a headless CMS does is that it adds fragments of the content on the homepage of your business. It then categorizes that content and sends a short description to social media as well as your app users via notification. Users can now access the information on whichever platform(s) chosen for that content to be delivered.

That's why your audience reach expands and becomes larger. a headless CMS guarantees you can deliver your content through multiple platforms which improves the chances it reaches more people.
