What Is a Content Funnel?

🧭 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:

  1. Awareness – “I found a page about nutrition for kids.”

  2. Interest – “This section about sleep routines applies to my situation.”

  3. Engagement – “I am clicking the link for screen time tips.”

  4. Action – “I want to read more, ask a question, or download a guide.”

    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.
