Illustrative example.

What content SEO covers

  • Topic and keyword mapping

    Every subject your customers search, grouped into clusters, with one clear page for each intent.

  • Service and landing pages

    Commercial pages written to rank and to convert, with clear structure and calls to action.

  • Guides and answers

    Helpful content that wins featured snippets and AI citations, and links back to your services.

  • Briefs and editing

    If you have writers, we brief them and edit for search; if not, we write it.

  • Content refreshes

    Updating pages that have slipped, often the fastest win on an established site.

  • Pruning and consolidation

    Merging thin or overlapping pages that compete with each other.

Topical authority beats volume

Publishing more doesn't help if the pages overlap, compete with each other or say nothing new. What works is covering a subject completely: a strong main page, supporting pages for each related question, and links that tie them together.

That structure tells search engines, and AI assistants, that you're a reliable source on the topic, and every new page then lifts the rest.

How a topic cluster works

One good article on a subject is rarely enough. Search engines look for a site that covers the connected questions too, so we build each topic as a cluster rather than a single post.

A pillar page
The main page for the topic, often a service page.
Supporting pages
One page per related question or intent, no overlaps.
Deliberate internal links
Supporting pages link to the pillar and to each other.
Each page with a job
Answer a question, or move the reader towards an enquiry.

Written for people, structured for search

We write in plain, specific language, answer the question early, and break pages into clear sections. That suits readers skimming on a phone, featured snippets and AI systems pulling a short answer.

Answer first
The key fact in the opening lines.
Clear headings
Each section makes sense on its own.
Real expertise
Your knowledge and examples, not generic filler.
Accurate and dated
Reviewed, sourced where needed, refreshed when things change.

AI-assisted, human-led

We use AI tools for research and first drafts where they help, but every page is planned, edited and fact-checked by a person, and checked with you for accuracy. Unedited AI content is easy to spot, rarely ranks for long, and is especially risky for healthcare and other regulated topics.

How it works

  1. Research

    Keywords, questions, competitors and gaps.

  2. Plan

    A cluster map and publishing order based on value.

  3. Brief

    Each page's intent, structure and key points.

  4. Write and review

    Drafted, edited and checked with you.

  5. Publish and refresh

    Published with internal links and schema, then refreshed as it ages.

Questions we get asked

Do you use AI to write content?

We use AI for research and drafting where it helps, but every page is edited and fact-checked by a person and reviewed by you before it goes live.

What is topical authority?

It's how far search engines trust your site as a source on a particular subject. It comes from covering that subject thoroughly and consistently, with pages that link together, rather than from chasing individual keywords.

Is topical authority the same as domain authority?

No. Domain authority is a third-party score based mostly on backlinks across your whole site. Topical authority is about depth on one subject. A small specialist site can beat a much bigger one on its own topic.

How much content do I need?

Enough to cover your subject properly. That's usually fewer, better pages than people expect. Your content plan sets out exactly which pages and why.

Can you improve our existing content?

Yes. Refreshing and consolidating existing pages is often the quickest win, especially on established sites.

Do you write healthcare content?

Yes, with clinical review by your team. See healthcare SEO.
