Monthly retainer

Content built to rank, written to be read.

Content marketing without keyword research is guesswork. Content strategy without writers who can actually execute is a roadmap that goes nowhere. We handle both: the research that identifies what is worth writing, and the production that makes it good enough to rank.

What is included

Delivery: Topic research and briefs: week 1. Drafts: weeks 2-3. Published or delivered: end of month.

Not the right fit if: This service does not include link building. Content produced is long-form informational and commercial intent content for your blog or resource section - not social media copy, email sequences, or ad creative.

Why most content marketing fails

The failure mode is almost always the same: articles written around topics the business finds interesting rather than topics the audience is actively searching for. A good content marketing programme starts with search data and works backward to editorial decisions. What questions are people asking? What comparison searches exist in our category? Which informational searches lead to commercial intent? That is the research layer that most content programmes skip.

We start every month with keyword and topic research before a single word is written. We identify the specific searches that have realistic ranking potential given your current domain authority, that match the intent of your target customer, and that connect naturally to a conversion pathway. The resulting content plan looks different from a generic "publish regularly" strategy because it is built on actual data.

Writing that ranks and reads well

There is a persistent myth that content optimised for search engines has to be dull to read. It does not. The best-ranking content tends to be the most genuinely useful to the person searching. It answers the question completely. It anticipates follow-up questions. It is structured so the reader can scan it or read it in depth depending on their needs.

Our writers research each topic before writing. They read what is currently ranking, identify the gaps, and produce something that is more complete and more useful than the existing results. Combined with proper on-page optimisation, this approach consistently outperforms the "write more, publish faster" approach that content agencies often push.

The long game

Content marketing compounds. An article that ranks in month 4 is still generating traffic in month 24. The consistent monthly publication cadence builds authority over time in ways that one-off content sprints do not. Most of our content clients see the clearest results after month 6, when enough content is live and indexed to start dominating topic clusters rather than ranking for isolated articles.

Questions about this service

Yes. We do a voice and tone exercise in the onboarding phase that results in a style guide our writers follow. We also give you approval on the first two articles before we publish anything, so you can redirect the voice before it becomes a pattern.

We can publish directly to WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow if you prefer. We can also deliver finished articles as Google Docs for you to publish. Either approach is fine - we adapt to your workflow.
