Worth knowing
What a content marketing specialist handles for your company
Good content pays off twice: people find it in search, and they trust your brand more once they've read it. The specialist behind it writes articles for your blog, targets the phrases your buyers search for, sets a publishing schedule and stretches each piece further through your newsletter and social profiles. Within 24 hours, we match you with one writer-strategist chosen because they've covered your subject before.
You're not working with a content shop that has to keep its staff writers busy. Before any writer gets client work, the project manager reads what they've published and checks how those articles performed. You and the project manager review each batch of posts, or each piece of the strategy, before the next batch is ordered.
If an article misses the brief or the quality is in doubt, the project manager, who has 15+ years in marketing, makes the final call. You don't need a subscription to get started.
What you get
Content marketing strategy, writing and distribution in one scope
What's in scope depends on whether you're launching a blog from scratch or need a steady supply of posts for one you already have. For a bigger program that includes video or design, see our content marketing service.
Topic plan and calendar
Research into topics and search phrases people actually look for, turned into a publishing calendar tied to your sales goals.
SEO articles for the blog
Posts written around a keyword and the real question behind it, with headings and structure search engines can read easily.
Service and product pages
Descriptions, offer pages and FAQ blocks that answer what buyers want to know before they reach out.
Distribution
Every article gets reworked into a newsletter issue and social posts, so one piece of writing earns its keep in several places.
Step by step
From brief to the first published article
Step 1
Brand and goal brief
Tell us about your industry, the tone you want and your goal: organic traffic, a reputation as the expert or support for sales.
Step 2
Writer matching
The project manager picks someone who's already written about your topics for a similar audience.
Step 3
First batch agreed
Before a word gets written, you, the writer and the project manager agree on the brief for the first set of articles and how you'll judge them.
Step 4
Publishing and review
Articles come in on the agreed schedule, and you and the project manager go over each batch before ordering the next.

FAQ
Questions companies ask us
Short answers. The free analysis call covers anything specific to your company.
01How much does a content marketing consultant charge?
In the US, two to four blog articles a month usually start around $1,000 to $2,500, and a full strategy with distribution runs $3,000 to $7,000 a month. One-time project work, like a content audit or strategy, is billed at $75 to $200 an hour, depending on seniority.
02How quickly can you match a writer to my industry?
Within 24 hours of your request. The project manager picks someone who's written about your subject for readers like yours, so you don't have to spend weeks explaining the basics.
03Does the writer also work as an SEO content writer?
Yes. Keyword research and on-page optimization come standard. Each article targets one main phrase, answers the question behind it and gets the headings and internal links it needs to rank.
04How is this different from hiring a content agency?
An agency hands your work to whoever's on payroll. With us, your articles come from someone matched to your industry and vetted before assignment, and a senior project manager with 15+ years in marketing checks every batch.
05What if the articles do not meet my expectations?
You and the project manager review each batch before it's published, and you can send it back. If you and the writer disagree on quality or whether the brief was met, the project manager decides and can bring in a different writer.
06Can the same person prepare content for social media?
Yes. If distribution is in scope, we assign someone who can turn each article into newsletter copy and social posts, so it keeps working after it's live on your blog.
07Is freelance content marketing a good fit for a small company?
Often, yes. A content marketing freelance writer who can also handle strategy gives a small business steady output without adding a salary, and a project manager in your corner keeps the schedule and quality consistent month after month.
