- We don’t buy washing machines because we want washing machines. We buy them because: Our old one is broken Our old one is too small We’ve just moved into the first property we have lived in where we need our own Our old one is way too dated Our old one is not energy efficient enough Old one is too noisy

- This is the point it makes sense to start using tools. No sooner. Considerations: you don’t want your content to go too generic. E.g if you’re a life insurance brand looking to get people who are buying a house, starting to offer removals advice might be a bit of a stretch from “life insurance.” On the other hand, house purchasing finance content is relevant. With washing machines, if someone is typing into google “hotpoint ABC1 won’t switch on,” or “washing machine makes banging sound,” those visitors are relevant. Find the keywords, create the content with the help of a washing machine fixer upper person, drive them to your site. Tools: Bloomberry (now part of buzzsumo) App.kwfinder.com Soovle Answerthepublic Revisit data from your customer service/sales team
