Want to discover which types of content resonate most with your audience? We've got you covered. πŸ˜‰

Introducing Content Pillars β€” your new secret weapon for content optimization and data-driven decisions.

What Are Content Pillars?

Content Pillars is a powerful feature that lets you categorize and monitor the performance of various content themes across your social media posts.

By tagging your content within specific content pillars, you will gain valuable insights into what resonates with your audience and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Socialinsider's feature provides two distinct approaches to content categorization:

  1. AI Content Pillars: Automatically generated based on your industry profile, these pillars use artificial intelligence to classify your posts into relevant themes.

  2. Your Content Pillars: Custom categories that you create manually to align with your specific content strategy and business goals.

πŸ‘‰ Key Benefits

⚑️ Strategic Insight: Understand which content categories drive the most engagement

⚑️ Competitive Edge: Compare your content performance against competitors by category

⚑️ Performance Tracking: Monitor how different content themes evolve over time

⚑️ Content Balance: Ensure a diverse mix of content types across your social channels

⚑️ Data-Driven Decisions: Make informed choices about future content based on historical performance

How to create your own Content Pillars

The manual content pillars are the ones you create yourself. In other words, they are custom themes in which you classify the content.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to start tagging your posts into Content Pillars.

Step 1: Setting up your Pillars

Before you start tagging posts, define your main content categories. Common examples include:

  • Educational content

  • Behind-the-scenes

  • Product features

  • Customer success stories

  • Industry news

  • Entertainment

πŸš€ Note: You can also create content pillars based on keywords or branded hashtags.

Step 2: Tagging the posts

Tagging your content is simple. In Socialinsider, all posts have the magic button to add the post to a content pillar.

  • Click on Tag Post

✨ The post is already part of one AI Content Pillar β€” Behind-the-Scenes Access

  • Add the Content Pillar β€” you can either tag the post under an existing content pillar (if there are any) or just create a new one

  • Track how specific pillars perform over time

  • Benchmark against competitors' content in similar categories

Conclusion

Content Pillars is more than just a tagging system – it's a strategic tool that helps you understand and optimize your social media content.

By consistently using and analyzing your content pillars, you can make informed decisions about your content strategy and drive better results for your brand.
