Publisher Description

“Boland offers encouragement to women poets of the future. . . . Her vivid imagery will beguile many.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review These inspiring essays from the celebrated poet Eavan Boland are both critical and deeply personal, revealing the adventure, passion, and struggle of becoming a woman poet. In this thematic sequel to her classic Object Lessons, Boland traces her own experiences as a woman, wife, and mother and their effect on her poetry, and she looks to a world where she can change the poetic past as well as the present.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY JAN 31, 2011

Acclaimed Irish poet Boland (Domestic Violence) uses "autobiography and analysis" to trace the making of poets, poems, readers, and their communities. One map reflects her belief that how we read or write a poem is an ever-changing process not rooted in a single point of time but a relationship to the "poetic past." The second charts the poet's need to change that past. Sketches of women poets from Puritan Anne Bradstreet to Denise Levertov, the sole woman of the 1960s Black Mountain School, lead to a concluding "Letter to a Young Woman Poet," describing Boland's struggle to create poems from her life as a mother. Asserting "the strengths that exist in the communal life of women," Boland offers encouragement to women poets of the future. If some of her language is directed to those writing or reading poetry, her vivid imagery ("if this were a summer darkness in Ireland the morning would already be stored in the midnight") will beguile many.

Description

“Boland offers encouragement to women poets of the future. . . . Her vivid imagery will beguile many.”— Publishers Weekly , starred review

"Boland . . . discusses the work of women poets that has been important to her, ranging from the little-known Charlotte Mew to the over-exposed Sylvia Plath, in critical essays that connect seamlessly with the personal to create a provocative collection." — Booklist

"[ A Journey with Two Maps ] attempts to rewrite history in a more fair and truthful manner. Boland’s insights into Sylvia Plath and Elizabeth Bishop are exquisite. . . . Boland’s criticism is spooky with hovering ghosts." — San Francisco Chronicle

Shortlisted — Northern California Book Award, 2012

Trust paves the way for conversion. One of the best ways to earn your target audience’s trust is to be there for them, answering their questions time and time again.

For SEOs and site owners, this means creating content. The most effective way to accomplish this task at scale is to map out the topics and potential questions that are relevant for your audience.

User journey mapping is a technique that helps businesses visualize their customers’ journey—from the moment they start searching for a solution to the point of conversion. This technique accounts for relevant topics, questions, and even user search intent to help you create a true full-funnel content marketing campaign.

In this article, I’ll cover:

What is user journey mapping for search?

How to build a user journey map.

Using your user journey map for better SEO

Tracking & reporting using user journey stages

You may have heard of the “buyer/customer journey”—a user journey map is similar. It is a model or visual representation that illustrates the stages a customer goes through, from the moment they start searching for a solution to when they actually become customers.

The main difference with user journey mapping is that the touch points exclusively relate to online search.

For example, in the SaaS customer engagement industry, a user journey may look something like this:

01. The user starts their search by typing how to improve customer retention into Google.

02. They may then click on a blog post about customer engagement strategies, leading them to a software company’s website.

03. From there, they may browse the website and eventually convert by signing up for a free trial.

User journey mapping is a crucial component of full-funnel content marketing , as it helps align website content with user search intent, which I’ll expand on in the next section.

How search intent contributes to user journey mapping

Search intent refers to the “why” that drives a user to search a given keyword , and it is not always reflected in what they type into the search bar.

For example, let's say you’re a B2B SaaS company that sells CRM (customer relationship management) solutions. Along their journey, a user searching for CRM products could make their way through the following search intents (and corresponding search terms):

Informational intent (e.g., CRM management tools ) — The user is researching possible CRM solutions on the market.

Comparative intent (e.g., best CRM tools ) — The user is comparing different tools to see which one best suits them.

Transactional/navigational intent (e.g., [company name] CRM ) — The user is ready to buy the product from your website.

By mapping search intent to each stage of your user journey, you can create a strategy so that your brand appears in the right places at the right time, meeting users where they are with relevant content. This not only benefits potential customers, it also helps search engines find and rank your content more effectively.

One of the reasons why search intent plays such an important role in this process is because many keywords can have the same intent . For example, the keywords CRM for small business and customer relationship for small business have the same search intent.

In fact, Google has claimed that 15% of search terms have never been searched before. And, Google processes trillions of searches every year , which means hundreds of billions of searches are completely new.

For SEOs, this means that it’s much more important and efficient to track search intent rather than chasing keywords. This is why understanding the real intent behind searches is essential if you want to target your audience with the right content at the right time, and ultimately, drive conversions.

The process of building a user journey map starts similarly to a UX customer journey map, except that you will predominantly use Google data. Here are the steps to build a user journey map for search:

Step 1: Define your user persona

Your audience and their pain points can serve as a clear roadmap for your user journey map to expand upon. For many brands, this means building out personas (if you haven’t already).

When defining your user personas, go beyond the demographic and behavioral characteristics associated with search (i.e., users that tend to search on mobile versus desktop) to also include user goals and motivations as they relate to search and your website or industry. Spend time to identify who your target audience is and what their search habits are. Find out what types of problems they face. User surveys, focus groups, and interviews can provide critical insights into what your potential customers want and what they’re looking to avoid.

If you don’t have this type of data (as is the case with many small businesses), I have found that there are AI tools, like ChatGPT , that can help generate user motivations and pain points to build a user persona.

For example, if you’re a B2B SaaS company looking to generate user motivations for CRM solutions, you could feed ChatGPT a prompt like “List the most common user motivations for searching CRM solutions.” The tool will generate something like this:

ChatGPT output for the prompt “List the most common user motivations for searching CRM solutions.” Responses include “increase productivity and efficiency in managing customer data,” “improve customer engagement and satisfaction,” “improve customer retention and loyalty,” etc.

You can then dig into each line item to find specific pain points.

Let’s look at one of the user motivations ChatGPT gave us as an example—“Improve customer retention and loyalty.” To get more granular and identify specific ways to help your audience, you could type in the prompt:

“My company is a SaaS customer relation management company. I’m researching my customers’ problems and pain points about customer retention and loyalty. What are the most common pain points for my customers around improving customer retention?”

ChatpGPT will generate a list like this:

ChatPGT output lists common CRM customer pain points for improving customer retention. Responses include “difficulty in understanding customer needs”, “inability to measure customer satisfaction”, “limited customer engagement”, etc.

Repeat this for each line item until you have a comprehensive list. Then clean your list by combining similar items, removing duplicates, or simplifying some items. You will end up with a full list of all user motivations and pain points.

Step 2: Create a user journey

Next, you need to use your personas to map out the user journey into “stages” and “milestones”:

Stages are top-level steps in the user journey.

Milestones refer to more specific steps that fall under a specific stage.

I will demonstrate this process using the example for “improving customer retention and loyalty,” using the user motivations output from ChatGPT as our stages.

(Note: While I am listing out the user journey in chronological order to help us visualize it, the reality is that user search behavior is non-linear and is more like “ the messy middle. ”)

Start by arranging your list of motivations and pain points chronologically. Next, copy and paste the pain points (your own list or the ones ChatGPT provided) into a spreadsheet.

List of pain points for improving customer retention.

Pro tip: It helps to categorize each item with stages in the marketing funnel : awareness, consideration, and conversion.

Then split the list into two columns where the colon is. The first column will be your milestones, while the second column is a brief explanation.

Format list of pain points into two columns: milestones and descriptions.

Tweak the wording for milestones so that they are action phrases. Now, you have specific steps in your user journey. Repeat this process for all of your stages until you have a full user journey. Again, you can assign marketing funnel stages if that helps visually (as shown in the example below).

A user journey map listed in a spreadsheet and organized by marketing funnel stage, user stages and milestones.

Step 3: Build a keyword list

Now that you have your user journey, it’s time to get to the “mapping” part.

You’ll need to compile a comprehensive keyword list to feed into the user search journey. Your list should include currently ranking keywords and aspirational keywords (terms that you would like to rank for and that make sense for your product/service). This will help you formulate business goals and uncover gaps in the user journey.

To start, export ranking keywords from Google Search Console (GSC) .

The export option in Google Search Console, showing options to export as a Google Sheet, excel, or CSV file.

You can supplement this list with a keyword research tool, like Ahrefs or Semrush. If you don’t have a third-party tool, you can use Google Keyword Planner to find keyword ideas .

Next, pull competitor keywords and add them to the list. Again, you can use Ahrefs or other third-party tools to get competitor keywords. Otherwise, it may be a more manual process. You can either use tools that offer free trials (although many have usage limits) or you can even leverage ChatGPT to expand on your keyword list. This article shows you AI prompts for how to do this.

Step 4: Assign milestones to keywords

Once you have a full keyword list, assign each keyword to a milestone in your user journey. For example, below I have listed keywords to place into each milestone for improving customer retention.

improve customer service for retention

how to keep customers engaged through communication

customer service tips for retention

customer retention through personalization tactics

increase value for customer retention

value-based customer retention tactics

customer communication strategies for retention

personalize customer experiences for retention

improve product quality for customer retention

customer retention strategies for better products

A user journey map in a spreadsheet organized by marketing funnel, user stage and milestones. Keywords are categorized by relevant milestones.

Categorize each keyword into the most relevant milestone. I’ve formatted as above to show a visual representation, however it’s much more efficient to format your data following the example below. This will help you filter, sort, and organize your data down the line.

A user journey map in a spreadsheet organized by funnel stage, user stage, number code, milestones and keywords.

Pro tip: It also helps to assign milestone code numbers as a quick reference.

Step 5: Categorize keywords into search intent and topics

The last step is to categorize keywords by search intent and topic groups. This gives you a high-level view of topics per journey stage, and helps you spot content opportunities. This can be a time-consuming process, but using an AI tool like ChatGPT can significantly speed it up. I have detailed one method below:

First, enter your list of keywords into ChatGPT’s text input field and specify what type of intent or topic you want to categorize the keywords under. For search intent, you could input the prompt:

“Categorize these keywords into one of these search intents: Informational, Transactional, Comparative, Navigational”

If you want to categorize keywords by topic cluster , you could enter a prompt such as

"Categorize these keywords by topic related to customer retention."

ChatGPT will then generate a list of topic clusters and suggested search intents based on the keywords you provided. You must review the suggestions and group the keywords accordingly. Repeat this process until all of the keywords are categorized into their relevant topics and intents.

Once this is done, you’ll be able to identify common themes and topics that are important to your audience at different stages of the customer journey. This can help you create highly relevant, valuable content for your target audience, which can ultimately lead to better site performance.

How to use your user journey map for better SEO

Now that you have your user journey map, I will explain some key insights that you can get from it.

You can monitor stages and milestones to pinpoint areas that need improvement. The example below shows average monthly ranking by user journey milestone. This helps you identify specific milestones that consistently underperform and create a plan to further optimize them.

Line chart shows average monthly ranking by user journey milestones

Another key benefit is better site content alignment: In the previous section, you mapped your user journey according to journey stages, search intents, and topics. Take it one step further and map specific pages on your site to each keyword and intent.

Let’s say you notice certain pages have been underperforming over the past few months. Look at which user journey milestones those pages are mapped to, as well as target keywords. Check if the pages satisfy the search intent. If the intent is informational but it’s mapped to a transactional page, you will have to either map to a different page or create a new page.

If your pages rank well for each of the mapped keywords and stages, it means that you’re on the right track. This insight can help you determine if your targeted content resonates with customers at each stage of the journey and help you identify pages that need retargeting or optimizing.

What if you don’t have a page that ranks for keywords you want to target? That’s an opportunity to investigate more or even create new content. You can then create targeted content to fill these gaps, ensuring that your brand is relevant and valuable no matter what pain points the user might currently be trying to resolve.

User journey mapping also provides an easier way to track content. By mapping specific pages on the website to stages, you can see performance by site sections or groups. In the next section, I’ll explain tracking and reporting in more detail.

Tracking and reporting with user journey stages

You’ll need to track and report on your website’s performance to evaluate how well your user journey map is working. But, tracking keywords to measure performance is (or will soon be) outdated. Google’s MUM update aims to reduce the number of searches needed to satisfy user intent, which means we need to change the way we track and measure traffic to our websites. Instead of focusing on individual keywords, monitor user journey stages and topic groups to better understand the performance of your content in relation to user intent.

Instead of tracking keywords individually, monitor user journey stages and topic groups to better understand the performance of your content in relation to user intent.

I highly recommend using a keyword tracking tool for this (I use STAT Search Analytics ). When you upload your keyword list into the platform, you can tag each keyword with the user journey stage, milestone, and code. This way, you can track performance by sections.

You can filter your data by user journey stage, milestone, or topic group and drill down on the data. For example, the ranking data in the image below was filtered by one specific milestone. We can then investigate keyword performance within that milestone. If you spot certain keywords that have not been ranking well, reevaluate the search intent for these terms. Check the keywords in the SERP to see if you can switch them out for other terms that better satisfy intent.

The screenshot below is an example of a user journey in STAT. You can see keyword performance by milestone, which makes it easier to make optimizations in batches, which in turn helps you work more efficiently.

As your content grows, so too will your user journey map

User journey mapping is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring and refinement. As you update and add new content to your website, it’s important to regularly review and adjust your user journey map to ensure that it remains aligned with user intent and behavior. I recommend doing this user journey mapping exercise annually to keep your data up-to-date.

The initial research and set up will take time, but the reward is an invaluable resource that you will continue to use and adapt. Plus, you will find deeper insights about your current and potential customers. So, start mapping out your user journey today and take your SEO strategy to the next level!

Man undertakes intense journey after making eerie discovery on Google Earth that ‘no one has seen before’

Man undertakes intense journey after making eerie discovery on Google Earth that ‘no one has seen before’

An explorer has revealed whether his journey to see a 'bizarre' google maps structure was as 'treacherous' as he first predicted.

A YouTube explorer has revealed what it was like traveling to a geologic structure 'on Google Earth that no one has seen before'.

When scouring Google Maps, a YouTuber who goes by 'thePOVchannel' came across 'one of the most bizarre' geologic structures he'd 'ever found on Google Earth ' and in the belief it was 'hiding something,' the explorer decided to not just remain behind a laptop, but travel to the location to go and check it out for himself.

In a video uploaded to his platform in December 2023, the YouTuber reveals the only way to reach the strange structure is 'through several miles of intricate and treacherous petrified sand dunes'.

"I wasn't sure I would make it or what I would find," he continues. "But I ended up leaving this place completely exhausted and with more questions than answers."

But how did the trip actually go and did the structure turn out to be the 'fortress with holes' which the YouTuber predicted it to be?

YouTuber 'thePOVchannel' found a 'bizarre' structure on Google Maps (YouTube/ thePOVchannel)

Well, the explorer takes his followers along for the journey, alongside his trusty companion - an exceedingly cute dog .

And it's not long before they come across multiple obstacles, from big rocks blocking the way, to the 'massive amount of huge petrified sand dunes'.

Thankfully, by staying to the top of the dunes, the explorer avoids the rocky slopes or small canyons below, but the 'steep' terrain doesn't make the journey much smoother.

The YouTuber comes across some 'really cool lines in the sandstone' one shaped like an 'S' before he finally gets closer and closer to the geologic structure he spotted on Google Earth, noting it's 'way, way bigger' than he first anticipated it being.

Beautiful sights plus a dog - what's not to love? (YouTube/ @thePOVchannel)

The explorer continues: "When I looked on Google Maps I though, 'Oh you know maybe it's like the size of a big house'. Nope, it is a huge massive chunk of sandstone sticking up out of the earth."

The YouTuber reflects he's 'amazed' he wasn't forced to 'backtrack at all' and definitely got 'lucky' picking the path he did which he notes 'almost never happens'.

Making his way up and into the structure, he walks through a pretty cool archway which leads to a stunning bay-like structure, the sun creeping in.

He resolves: "Wow. This is the first place we checked out and I am kind of blown away right now. This is getting me really excited about what might be around the corner."

The explorer then stumbles across a footprint on the ground, which he believes belongs to a dinosaur with 'a clear three-mark indentation' alongside one of the 'honeycomb structures [he] saw from the sky'.

He resolves: "Wow."

And it's not taken long for people to flood to the post in amazement.

One user said: "Freaking love your channel man. I live in SW United States, and I do a lot of Google Earth scouting for my hunting. Sometimes I'll come across something odd, and check it out- but it's quite rare due to familial obligations and time restrictions. Really like the concept of what you have going on here, and makes me want to get out more often and do the same. Keep up the great work!"

And another wrote: "Obviously the vast overwhelming majority of people will never ever venture to such places. That is why I applaud you for taking us along to see sights we would otherwise never see. Thank you and your dog... Thumbs Up!"

Tesla upgrades in-car navigation software in China, introduces lane-level guidance

TESLA released a software upgrade for its in-car navigation system in China on Friday (Jun 7), introducing new features such as displaying lane markings on its maps that correspond to the actual lanes on the road.

The company announced the update on its official WeChat account along with a series of new features added in the latest over-the-air upgrade that it claimed would reduce users’ reliance on smartphone applications while driving.

Tesla did not specify the provider of the lane-related mapping service while the official Shanghai Securities News reported on Friday that Baidu is the map supplier.

Baidu, first announced the release of its V20 Baidu Maps in April, naming Tesla and Huawei among the clients of the map. Baidu has been Tesla’s navigation map provider since 2020.

The Baidu Maps V20 introduces lane-level navigation, which the company said can provide human drivers with detailed road information and lane recommendations to enhance driving safety and experience.

Chinese users in China have complained about Tesla’s in-car navigation map on social media, saying it is not as detailed as maps available on smartphones. Tesla in China was not immediately available to comment.

Tesla, which only uses cameras as sensors for its autonomous driving technology, is currently in the process of introducing its ‘Full Self-Driving’ (FSD) software system in China, which recently made progress as the company prepares to register this technologically advanced feature with authorities, Reuters reported last month.

Unlike high-definition maps that collect more detailed, sensitive geographic information to serve as an additional sensor for autonomous driving cars, navigation maps have been widely used in China to provide traffic information to human drivers. REUTERS

Baseball  Championship: Future dates

MCWS HISTORY:  Winningest coaches  |  Most titles  |  Most appearances   |  Conferences most represented

Here is more on how the tournament works:

What is the difference between the Division I baseball tournament and the College World Series?

The NCAA Division I baseball tournament is a 64-team tournament that starts in May. After two rounds of play (which each consist of multiple games), there are just eight teams left. These eight teams then head to Omaha, Neb. for the College World Series. The CWS is the culmination of the DI tournament, where the teams compete in two brackets, with the winners of each meeting in the CWS finals, a best-of-three series to decide the NCAA champion.

When did the College World Series start?

The first-ever NCAA Division I baseball tournament was in 1947, and would barely be recognized as the same tournament nowadays. The 1947 tournament featured just eight teams, which were divided into two four-team, single-elimination brackets. The two winners — California and Yale — then met in a best-of-three final in Kalamazoo, Michigan. California would go undefeated through the inaugural CWS and beat Yale to capture the first title.

How are teams selected for the NCAA Division I baseball tournament?

Since 1954, the NCAA Division I baseball tournament field has been split into two qualifying groups: The automatic berths, and the at-large selections. Since 2014, that in a typical year split sees 31 conference champions receive automatic berths, and 33 teams receive at-large bids, decided by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. 

Men's College World Series champs since 1947

California defeated Yale in the first-ever Men's College World Series, the first of two played in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Texas put itself on the map as the first back-to-back champions in winning the only MCWS ever played in Wichita, Kansas in 1949. The following season Texas won its second championship, opening Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha.

Here's a complete list of all the College World Series finals in the 73-year history of the event. Ole Miss won the 2022 Men's College World Series in two games over Oklahoma.
