🧭 Definition
A content funnel is a structured approach that guides visitors from initial discovery to meaningful action. In a cornerstone page, it ensures readers move naturally through four stages:
-
Awareness – “I found a page about nutrition for kids.”
-
Interest – “This section about sleep routines applies to my situation.”
-
Engagement – “I am clicking the link for screen time tips.”
-
Action – “I want to read more, ask a question, or download a guide.”
🛠️ CP Funnel Blueprint

Purpose: Capture attention immediately.
-
State the main benefit of the page.

Include a core keyword naturally.
-
Connect emotionally or address a problem.
Example: “Helping kids grow through play and structure.”
2. The Map (Subcategory Blocks)
Purpose: Show what the visitor will find.
-
Use clear H2 headings.
-
Add a 1–3 sentence description and a link for each section.

Optionally include icons for visual appeal.

3. The Pull (Link Strategy)
Purpose: Encourage deeper exploration.
-
Link to supporting guides, tools, or related cornerstone pages.
