SERP-based content briefs
Briefs built from what's actually ranking: subtopics, entities, format and depth required to compete, not a generic keyword list.
SEO Content
SEO Content Built to Rank and Convert
Content that earns rankings and still reads like something a person wanted to write — briefed from real search data, structured for the intent, and edited by people who know the subject.
Content calendars that miss the intent
Most content programmes are run against a publishing calendar rather than a keyword-to-intent map, which produces a steady stream of articles that rank for nothing commercially useful or don't rank at all.
- Topics chosen by internal preference rather than search demand
- Briefs that list keywords instead of the questions a page must answer
- Generic writing with no subject-matter review before publishing
- No link between published content and topical clusters already live
Briefed from data, written for the reader, structured for clusters
Every piece starts with live SERP and search-intent analysis, gets briefed against the specific questions ranking pages already answer, and is written or edited by people who understand the subject — then slotted into the right place in an existing topical cluster.
What's included
Service components
Topical cluster planning
New content mapped against existing clusters so every piece reinforces a pillar page rather than standing alone.
Writing and subject-matter editing
Drafts written or edited with input from writers experienced in the specific vertical, not generalist freelancers.
On-page structuring
Headings, internal links, schema-ready FAQs and formatting built for both readers and passage-level extraction.
Content refresh and consolidation
Systematic updates to decaying pages, and merging of thin or overlapping articles into a single stronger page.
Performance-linked planning
Future topics prioritised by how existing content is actually performing, not just remaining calendar slots.
Process
How we deliver it
- Step 01
Content audit and gap analysis
Existing content scored on performance, decay and coverage against the current keyword-to-URL map.
- Step 02
Cluster and brief planning
Priority topics briefed with SERP analysis, target intent and the cluster page each piece should support.
- Step 03
Write, edit, publish
Drafts produced, reviewed for subject accuracy and formatted before publishing to your CMS.
- Step 04
Measure and refresh
Rankings, traffic and engagement tracked per piece, with underperforming content queued for refresh or consolidation.
Outcomes
What you get out of it
Content that ranks on purpose
Briefs built from live SERP data rather than guesswork.
Stronger topical authority
Every piece reinforces a cluster instead of standing in isolation.
Fewer wasted articles
Publishing prioritised by demand and gap, not calendar pressure.
Compounding performance
Refresh cycles keep older content contributing instead of decaying quietly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01How is this different from on-page SEO?
On-page SEO optimises existing pages; SEO content covers the ongoing production of new content and the editorial process behind it, though the two work closely together.
02Who writes the content?
Writers experienced in the relevant vertical, briefed by our SEO team and, for specialist topics, reviewed by a subject-matter editor before publishing.
03How many articles do we need per month?
It depends on the size of the gap against your competitors — we recommend a volume after the content audit rather than defaulting to a fixed number.
04Do you write for AI search as well as classic rankings?
Yes — clear, question-led structure and self-contained answers help both, which is why we build it into every brief by default.
05Can you work with our existing writers?
Yes. We can supply briefs and editorial oversight for your in-house writers, or handle the full production ourselves.
