Middle-of-the-funnel (MOFU) content is your business’s golden ticket to converting leads who are already interested in what you have to offer but just need that extra push to make a decision. But here’s the thing: most companies are doing MOFU content wrong—and it’s costing them. Big time.
What Is MOFU and Why Does It Matter?
The marketing funnel is split into three stages: TOFU (top of the funnel), MOFU (middle of the funnel), and BOFU (bottom of the funnel). MOFU is where the magic happens—this is where your leads aren’t just casually browsing anymore. They know they have a problem, and they’re actively looking for a solution. Guess what? They’re considering you as a contender.
MOFU is where you turn interested leads into serious prospects. They’ve been through the awareness phase; now, they’re in the evaluation phase. They’re hungry for more information, and it’s your job to give it to them—quick, clear, and compelling. Your leads are weighing their options, and you need to make sure your solution shines above the rest.
Keep in mind that MOFU content isn’t about selling (yet). It’s about building trust, showing value, and guiding your leads toward making an informed decision. This content educates, demonstrates, and teases your solution, getting them ready to pull the trigger.
How to Create MOFU Content That Converts
Ready to turn those leads into loyal, paying customers? It all comes down to crafting the right MOFU content—content that speaks directly to their needs, builds trust, and pushes them to take that next crucial step.
This is where your messaging shifts from attracting attention to sealing the deal, turning interest into action.
1. Cut the Fluff, Show the Value
No one at the middle of the funnel cares about your mission statement or how you’re “revolutionizing the industry.” What they care about is how you’re going to solve their problem.
If you want your MOFU content to convert, it better be laser-focused on addressing your customers’ pain points and showing how your solution actually works.
MOFU content needs to focus on the value proposition. What makes your offer not just good but irresistible? Use case studies, testimonials, and product demonstrations. Use every marketing channel to show your leads how your service or solution solved the exact problem they’re dealing with. Make it crystal clear why choosing you is the smartest move they’ll make.

2. Get Specific and Targeted
You’re not marketing to the masses. If you try to please everyone, you’ll please no one. MOFU content isn’t about casting a wide net—it’s about doubling down on your niche.
Speak directly to your audience’s specific pain points. If you’re targeting SaaS companies with limited resources, make that the centerpiece of your content. If your MOFU content isn’t tailored, it’s not helping your business.
Are your leads struggling to scale their marketing as they grow? Talk about your scalable solutions. Are they frustrated with the high costs of an in-house team? Show how outsourcing to you will save them money and headaches. Be so specific that your leads feel like you’re reading their minds.
3. Give Them a Taste of What You’ve Got
Want to know what moves the needle? Letting your leads test-drive what you’ve got. Offer them something tangible. This could be a free audit, a limited-time trial, a downloadable guide—anything that gives them a taste of the results they can expect when they work with you.
This isn’t just about being generous. It’s about showing them you mean business and building trust. You’re confident that once they see what you can do, they’ll be ready to commit. This is also a great way to re-engage lost leads.
Think about it: if you give them a taste, and it’s good? They’ll come back hungry for more.
4. Drive Urgency Now, Not Later
Your leads are busy. They’ve got 99 problems and only one of them involves deciding whether or not to hire you. If you want them to take action, you need to inject some urgency into your MOFU content.
Create time-sensitive offers. Push limited-time discounts. Frame the conversation around what they’re losing by not acting now. Whether it’s market share, revenue, or competitive edge, make sure your leads know that delaying their decision is costing them. No one likes leaving money on the table.
5. Simplify Their Decision-Making Process
One of the biggest barriers at the middle of the funnel is decision fatigue. Your leads are juggling a million things, and the last thing they want is another complex decision to make. That’s why you need to make the decision as simple as possible.
Break down the next steps clearly. Use FAQs to answer potential objections before they even arise. Offer personalized consultations to help them see how your solution fits their specific needs. And, most importantly, make your call to action obvious and easy.
Your leads should leave your MOFU content with a clear understanding of what to do next—and excited to do it.
