Interested? Let's work together to create high quality
content for your B2B web site.

Here's how we can work together.


Introduction
We talk or video chat about your organization and needs. If it feels like a fit, we'll set up a time to start creating the editorial profiles.

Editorial Profile Review
Based on information you have given me and through research, I present to you the editorial profiles. We hone that to make sure it aligns with your marketing personas.

Content Creation
We'll create an editorial calendar for the next few months, agree on the cadence of new content, and then the new, original content starts flowing.

Publish and Monitoring
As the articles are published, we make sure they are scooped up by Google and monitor.

Analysis
We'll run an ongoing visualization of how the articles are doing, what kind of traffic they are generating, and track them through to conversions.

Review
We will periodically review the plan against what is learned. If modifications to the plan seem called for, we'll discuss that.
