The basics

What is content marketing?

Content marketing is the work of attracting and keeping customers by publishing useful content they actually want, such as articles, guides and service pages, instead of only paying for ads. Done with SEO in mind, it means planning topics around real searches and keeping each page accurate over time.

Good content marketing has three parts. Strategy decides who you are writing for, which topics matter to your business and in what order. Creation turns that plan into pages that answer questions clearly and show real experience. Maintenance keeps those pages up to date, merges the ones that overlap and removes the ones that no longer help.

Google says its systems aim to reward content made for people rather than to manipulate rankings, and that it has no preferred word count. So I don't pad articles to hit a number. Each page should be as long as it needs to be to answer the question well. You can read Google's guidance on helpful content.

Content also feeds everything else you do: your SEO, your visibility in AI answers, your social posts and the emails you send to customers. That's why I plan it around your customers' real questions rather than whatever happens to be trending.

Content

What my content marketing services include

01

Content strategy

A plan built on what your customers search for and what your business sells, so every piece has a purpose and a place in the bigger picture.

02

Topical maps

Your subject broken into pillar pages and supporting articles, linked together so search engines see the depth of your expertise rather than a pile of unrelated posts.

03

SEO content writing

Clear, well-researched articles and service pages written for people first, with the structure search engines need. Every brief starts from proper keyword research.

04

Service and landing pages

The pages that bring in enquiries, written to explain what you do, who it's for and why someone should choose you, in plain language.

05

Content audit

Every existing page reviewed against its traffic and purpose: what to keep, what to improve, what to merge and what to remove. It often turns up quick wins in pages you'd forgotten about.

06

Content refresh

Older pages that have slipped brought up to date with new facts, better structure and clearer answers, so they can win back the rankings they used to have.

07

Internal linking

Links between related pages that guide readers to the next step and help search engines find your best content. Checked against my on-page SEO checklist.

08

Editorial calendar

A realistic publishing schedule your team can stick to, with briefs, owners and dates, so content keeps going out after the first busy month.

Content works best on a site with a sound technical base. If yours needs work first, start with my SEO services. Need a new site to publish on? See web design.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

A good fit if

  • You know content matters but don't have time to write it
  • Your blog has posts but no clear plan behind them
  • You want articles that bring in leads, not just page views
  • You have real expertise that isn't showing on your site
  • You're happy for content to build over time

Signs you need it

  • Lots of posts, very little traffic
  • Several pages competing for the same search
  • Articles that were popular a few years ago are slipping
  • Content that reads like it was written for robots
  • Nobody can say which posts bring in enquiries
Content vs SEO vs copy

Content marketing, SEO or copywriting?

The three overlap and often get mixed up. Here's how they differ, and why most businesses need a bit of each.

In practice I combine all three: SEO decides what to write, content marketing makes it useful, and good copy turns readers into enquiries.

FAQs

Questions about content marketing

Can't see your question? Send me a message and I'll answer it.

Is content marketing the same as SEO?

No, but they work best together. SEO makes sure your site can be found and tells you what people search for. Content marketing creates the pages that answer those searches and give people a reason to come back.

Do you write the content yourself?

I plan every piece and set the standard it's written to, and I review and edit everything before it goes live. On larger projects, I may work with writers I trust, and I'll always tell you who is doing what.

Do you use AI to write content?

I use AI tools for research and first ideas, the same way I'd use any tool. Every piece is fact-checked, edited and shaped by a person, because generic AI copy rarely helps rankings or readers.

Does AI-written content rank on Google?

Google doesn't ban AI-assisted content, but it says mass-produced text with little oversight is low effort and rates it poorly. What matters is whether the page is accurate, original and genuinely useful, however it was drafted.

How long should a blog post be?

As long as it needs to be to answer the question well. Google says it has no preferred word count. Some topics need a short, direct answer; others need a full guide. I decide length from what the searcher needs, not a target number.

What is a topical map?

A topical map is a plan of every topic your site should cover, grouped into pillar pages and the supporting articles around them. It shows what to write, in what order and how the pages link together, so you build authority on a subject instead of publishing random posts.

Can you write in my brand's voice?

Yes. I start by reading what you already have and agreeing a short tone of voice guide with you, so new pages sound like your business rather than a generic agency.

How many articles do I need?

There's no magic number. A small number of excellent, well-linked pages usually beats a large number of thin ones. The topical map shows how many pieces your subject really needs.

How often should I publish?

Often enough to keep a steady rhythm you can sustain. Consistency matters more than volume, and refreshing an old page can be worth as much as publishing a new one.

Can you improve content I already have?

Yes, and it's often the best place to start. Refreshing pages that already have some authority is usually faster than publishing new ones from scratch.

How long does content marketing take to work?

Content builds over months rather than weeks. Refreshes to existing pages can show sooner, while new topics take time to earn trust. I'll give you a realistic view once the audit and plan are done.

How much do content marketing services cost?

It depends on how much you want to publish, how technical your subject is and whether you need a strategy, writing or both. After a short call I'll give you a clear quote.

Who owns the content?

You do. Everything written for your site is yours to use, edit and keep.
