Content Strategy
that Ranks & Gets Cited

Content that ranks in Google and gets cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Built around your product, your ICP, and every stage of the buyer journey — not a content calendar.

Content without strategy is just
expensive noise.

Most SaaS companies are publishing regularly — and most of it isn't doing anything. Blog posts that don't rank. Content that attracts the wrong audience. Articles that get traffic but never convert. This isn't a writing problem. It's a strategy problem.

Without a topical authority framework, ICP-mapped intent, and content designed for both Google and AI search — you're producing content for the sake of producing content. It looks like activity. It isn't growth.

Publishing content with no topical framework — random topics, no depth, no authority
Writing for keywords, not for buyers — high traffic, zero pipeline
No ICP mapping — content attracts people who'll never buy
Zero presence in AI search — ChatGPT and Perplexity don't know you exist
Content silos — no internal linking, authority doesn't flow between pages
Thin content — 500-word posts competing against comprehensive guides

A content system that
compounds every month.

Not a batch of articles. A full content engine — cluster architecture, ICP mapping, editorial workflow, and AI search strategy built into every piece.

01
ICP & Intent Mapping

Deep research into how your ideal customer searches before, during, and after the buying decision. Every content cluster is mapped to a specific buyer persona and funnel stage.

02
Topical Authority Architecture

A complete pillar-cluster content map covering your core topics — pillar pages that establish authority and cluster articles that capture every keyword variation your ICP searches.

03
Detailed Content Briefs

Every article gets a comprehensive brief — target keyword, search intent, outline, competitor analysis, internal linking plan, and E-E-A-T positioning. Briefs your writers can execute without guessing.

04
AI Search Citation Strategy

Structure, format, and position your content to be cited by AI models. Includes FAQ optimization, authoritative source positioning, and E-E-A-T signals that make AI models trust your content.

05
Existing Content Audit

Full audit of your current content — identify what to keep, update, merge, or remove. Most SaaS companies have content that's hurting their SEO. Fixing it is often faster than creating new.

06
Editorial System & Calendar

A full editorial calendar and production workflow — what to publish, in what order, with what internal links, and how to scale production without losing quality or strategic coherence.

Topical authority.
Not just keywords.

Google rewards sites that demonstrate deep expertise in a topic — not sites that publish random articles targeting isolated keywords. I build content cluster architectures that signal authority across your entire niche.

Each cluster has a pillar page (broad, authoritative, comprehensive) supported by cluster articles (specific, intent-matched, highly targeted). Every article links back to the pillar. Authority flows. Rankings compound.

Questions about
Content Strategy

How many articles do we need to start seeing results?
It depends on your competitive landscape and current domain authority. Generally, a well-structured cluster of 8–12 articles around one core topic can start showing results in 3–4 months. Breadth across multiple clusters compounds faster.
Do you write the content or just plan it?
Both options. In consulting mode, I provide detailed briefs and your team writes. In done-for-you mode, I manage a network of vetted SaaS content writers and handle everything from brief to published post.
What makes your content strategy different from typical SEO content?
Everything is mapped to your specific ICP and their buying journey — not just search volume. I also build for AI search citation from the start, which most content strategies still completely ignore.
We already have a lot of existing content. What happens to it?
We start with a content audit. Some pieces get refreshed and optimized, some get consolidated with others, some get redirected or removed. Existing content cleanup often delivers faster results than publishing new.
How do you optimize content for AI search?
Structured answer blocks, comprehensive FAQ sections, authoritative citation signals, E-E-A-T positioning, and schema markup. AI models surface content that's comprehensive, trustworthy, and clearly structured.
Can you work with our existing content team?
Yes — I can function as the strategic layer above your writers. I provide the architecture, briefs, and editorial direction. Your writers execute. I review and optimize before publishing.
