SEO Content Creation
Introducing our Data-Driven Methodology for Organic Content & SEO—The Content Sprint

Stop wasting time on content that flops
No buying journey is a linear act. The world’s greatest source of customer intent information—Google’s own behaviour data—shows marketers that the process of learning about a topic, finding solutions to problems, and choosing the right provider is best represented by a constantly-shifting network of questions and search terms.
Enter Pillar-Based Marketing, a new organic seo content creation methodology that leverages search behaviour data to align marketers to the needs of their customers—and blow legacy SEO results out of the water while doing so.
What’s included in the Content Sprint?
Content strategy, pillar topics, content briefs and high ranking content.
Map The Pillar Topic Network
Start by answering a simple question: What are the mission critical topics that my business needs, to be on Page One of search rankings for? Those are your Pillar Topics, and they’re made up of not just of the keywords your business likes, but of a network of every question and query potential customers enter into search engines about those topics—what you need to write about.

Identify The Right Topics
Next, examine the thousands of related keywords that appear in a Pillar Topic Network and find patterns. Which queries show up again and again as you explore Google’s recommended searches for each individual keyword? What are the pathways most users end up taking as they enter query after query, working to find a solution to their problem?

Build A Content Network
Take those critical keywords that are the most connected to each other within your Pillar Topic Network and build a Pillar Strategy that includes Pillar Pages, Sub-Pillar Pages, and Supporting Blogs to target each one. Link them all together into a network that recreates the most critical parts of the real-world network of queries surrounding your Pillar Topic.

Earn Rankings And Traffic
Finally, we publish each piece of content at the same time. Rather than hoping that any individual article earns top rankings and begins driving qualified organic traffic, we’ve optimized your content strategy around your chosen Pillar Topic Network. Each piece supports the rest, driving a near-instantaneous increase in rankings for dozens of keywords.

The Result?
By unifying best practices around the creation of content and SEO strategies, our Pillar-based marketing framework provides companies with a foolproof roadmap to Page One for even short-tail, broad interest Pillar Topic keywords. No guesswork, no wasted money developing content that won’t rank, and no wasted time waiting six months or longer for rankings to slowly increase.
By prioritising investment in the growth of your content – an appreciating asset that your brand owns forever and grows more valuable over time – Pillar based marketing makes it easier to align pay-to-play strategies to customer pain, as well. The exponential increase in qualified traffic to your domain that comes with the Pillar approach to content bears many fruits, including:
