SEO-Led Content Strategy

Stop guessing what to write.

Most businesses publish content reactively — what feels timely, what someone had an idea about, what they think is interesting. Then wonder why it doesn't rank.

Content strategy means knowing exactly what to create, for whom, in what order — based on keyword data, competitor gaps, and AI search signals. We build that roadmap. You execute it.

What the strategy includes

Six concrete deliverables that tell you exactly what to create and why.

Comprehensive Keyword Research

Primary commercial terms, secondary supporting terms, long-tail question keywords, and AI search query mapping. Exported with search volume, difficulty, and intent classification.

Topical Authority Map

A visual map of the content clusters you need to own to become the recognised authority in your niche — in Google's eyes and in AI engines' citation models.

Competitor Gap Analysis

Every topic your competitors rank for that you don't. Sized by opportunity, prioritised by effort. The quickest wins are usually here.

GEO Opportunity Report

Which queries currently trigger AI Overviews in your sector. Which competitors get cited. What content type and structure gets selected. Where your opportunity sits.

12-Month Editorial Calendar

A month-by-month content schedule with titles, target keywords, recommended formats, and word count targets. Ready to hand to a writer or content team.

Common questions

What does a content strategy actually include?

Our content strategy deliverable includes: comprehensive keyword research (primary, secondary, long-tail, and question-based terms), topical authority map showing the content clusters you need to build, competitor content gap analysis (what they rank for that you don't), GEO/AI Overview opportunity identification, recommended content formats and page types, internal linking architecture, and a 12-month editorial calendar with prioritised topics.

Is this a document or an ongoing service?

The strategy engagement is a one-time project that produces a concrete deliverable: a strategy document, keyword database, and editorial calendar. What you do with it is up to you — you can execute it yourself, have your in-house team follow it, or commission us to produce the content. We also offer optional quarterly strategy reviews for clients who want ongoing strategic guidance.

How is your content strategy different from a standard keyword list?

A keyword list tells you what people search for. A content strategy tells you what to create, in what order, in what format, targeting what intent, with what internal linking structure — and why each decision was made. It's the difference between a shopping list and a business plan. We also factor in GEO signals so the strategy accounts for AI search, not just traditional rankings.

How long does the strategy engagement take?

Typically 3–4 weeks from brief to delivery. The process involves a discovery session, competitive landscape analysis, keyword research, topical mapping, and document production. We don't rush it — a good strategy document is the foundation for 12 months of content decisions.

Know what to publish — and why.

12 months of content direction, backed by data. No guessing. No publishing for the sake of it.
