FAQ
01Do you write the content too?

I write briefs and can write or edit final copy on request.

02How many keywords do you typically map?

Usually 50–200 depending on site size and market breadth.

03How is this different from a general content agency?

Every brief is built from keyword and intent data first, content is a means to a ranking and revenue goal, not the goal itself.

04Do you handle content that already exists?

Yes, an audit of your existing library is usually the first step before mapping new topics.

05Can this work with a small team?

Yes, briefs are written so a single writer or a generalist marketer can execute them without an SEO background.

06What tools do you use for keyword research?

Primarily Ahrefs and SEMrush, cross-checked against Search Console's actual query data.

07How soon will rankings move?

New content typically needs 60-90 days to show meaningful ranking movement, faster for well-linked existing pages.
