Audience Research and Buyer Personas
Brand Positioning and Messaging Architecture
Craft a sharp value proposition
Express who you help, the outcome you deliver, and why your approach is different. Test variations in ads, headlines, and emails. In one SaaS test, clarifying the outcome lifted trial clicks by double digits.
Build a message hierarchy that scales
Define one core promise, three supporting proofs, and channel-specific adaptations. This hierarchy keeps teams aligned while allowing creativity. Ask for our free hierarchy template by subscribing, and tailor it to your niche.
Tell stories that make benefits tangible
Swap abstract claims for concrete narratives—before-and-after snapshots, customer mini-stories, and numbers with context. Invite readers to reply with a customer win, and we’ll help you frame it into a compelling case snippet.
Content Strategy and Editorial Calendar
Anchor topics and cluster your ideas
Identify cornerstone topics that connect to revenue, then build clusters of related pieces. This boosts relevance and discoverability. Comment with your main topic, and we’ll suggest three supportive cluster angles to cover next.
Match formats to user intent
Short videos for awareness, in-depth guides for consideration, calculators and demos for decision. Align format with the question the user is asking. Subscribe for a format-to-intent cheat sheet you can hand to your team.
Keep a realistic, sustainable cadence
Plan publishing frequency around quality and capacity. A steady, dependable schedule beats sporadic bursts. Share your bandwidth constraints, and we’ll recommend a minimal viable calendar that still moves key performance indicators.
SEO Foundations and Discoverability

02
Optimize for intent and E‑E‑A‑T signals

03
Build internal links and topical authority
Connect clusters with descriptive anchors and hub pages. Internal links guide crawlers and readers, lifting pages together. Ask for our internal linking playbook by subscribing, and unify your content into coherent pathways.
Paid Media Mix and Budget Allocation
Select channels by objective and intent
Use search for high-intent capture, social for discovery, and retargeting for nurturing. Start with one primary and one secondary channel. Share your goal, and we’ll suggest a minimal channel mix to test first.
Run creative testing loops
Test hooks, offers, and formats methodically. Keep a hypothesis log and rotate winners into evergreen sets. A simple headline shift once cut cost per acquisition significantly for a startup—proof that small changes compound.
Measurement, KPIs, and Continuous Optimization
Tie efforts to revenue, pipeline, or qualified signups, then watch leading signals like engagement and demo rates. This alignment prevents vanity metrics. Comment with your north-star metric, and we’ll suggest three leading indicators.
