The tactics we'd put first at the awareness stage start from the buyer's problem, because that's what the buyer is asking about. That means finding the questions people ask while they're still working out what's wrong, and answering each one directly with what your team has learned first-hand. Each answer should then lead to the question it raises next. Comparisons and pricing get their own pages, so the problem page can stay on the problem.
