Content audit and inventory

Crawl your existing website to build a complete content inventory. Map every published page, identify thin or duplicate content, find pages missing meta descriptions, and prioritize what to update vs. what to retire.

Crawl our blog at company.com/blog and give me a full inventory of all pages with their title, meta description, word count, and any SEO issues.

Crawled 234 blog pages. Found: 48 pages missing meta descriptions, 31 with title tags over 60 characters, 17 pages with fewer than 400 words (thin content risk), and 8 near-duplicate posts on the same topic. Provided prioritized list for content refresh.

Competitor content strategy research

Understand what content is driving traffic and rankings for your top competitors. Find their best-performing topic clusters, content formats, and publishing cadence to inform your own strategy.

Research the content strategy of Zapier.com — their top blog categories, what formats they publish, their internal linking structure, and how they drive SEO traffic from integration content.

Zapier publishes 4–6 posts/week. Top traffic drivers: "how to connect [tool A] with [tool B]" integration guides (their main moat), use case templates, and app comparison articles. They use a hub-and-spoke model with integration pages linking to blog content. Publishing pace doubled in 2023.

Audience research and persona development

Research what your target audience actually cares about by analyzing their conversations in forums, communities, and social platforms. Build content that addresses real questions in the language real people use.

Research what growth marketers discuss on Reddit and LinkedIn — what are their most common questions, frustrations, and topics they are actively seeking advice on?

Top recurring themes in growth marketing communities: attribution modeling (most debated), CAC payback calculation, content ROI measurement, and PLG vs outbound-led growth. Most upvoted posts always start with a specific data point or contrarian take. Emotional triggers: fear of wasted budget, pressure to prove ROI.

Page-level SEO optimization

Audit individual content pages against SEO best practices and target keywords. Identify specific on-page issues that are preventing ranking improvements on high-priority pages.

Audit our pillar page targeting "content marketing strategy." Check if the page is optimized for the keyword, how it compares to what is ranking, and what technical issues might be holding it back.

Page has strong keyword coverage in H1 and body, but the meta description is generic. Page speed is 3.8s LCP (needs improvement). Missing FAQ schema that 7 of the top 10 competitors have. H2 structure could be reorganized to better match search intent based on SERP analysis.
