More Content ≠ Better Rankings

Publishing 100 mediocre blog posts won't outrank one authoritative competitor. Google's algorithm has evolved — it now rewards depth, expertise, and topical coverage over volume.

Since the 2022 Helpful Content Update, Google actively demotes sites with thin, AI-generated, or non-expert content. The winners? Sites that demonstrate deep industry knowledge, real experience, and comprehensive topical coverage. That's what we build.

The content crisis: 90% of websites lack strong E-E-A-T signals. They publish content without demonstrating expertise, authorship, or real-world experience. Google sees through it — and ranks them lower. Authority isn't optional anymore. It's required.

Content Strategy Questions

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Google's Quality Rater Guidelines use E-E-A-T to assess content quality. Sites with strong E-E-A-T signals rank higher, especially in YMYL (Your Money Your Life) niches like healthcare, finance, and legal.

Initial results appear in 2-3 months (new keywords ranking, increased traffic). Significant authority growth takes 6-12 months as topical clusters build and Google recognizes your expertise. This is a long-term strategy — but the results compound over time.

We use AI for research, outlines, and efficiency — but never for final content. Every article is written or extensively reviewed by industry experts with real credentials. Google's Helpful Content Update penalizes pure AI content. We combine AI efficiency with human expertise.

A topical cluster is a pillar page (comprehensive guide on a broad topic) surrounded by cluster content (detailed articles on subtopics), all internally linked. This structure demonstrates topical authority. Google rewards sites that cover topics completely, not just randomly published blog posts.

We analyze competitor content, identify keywords they rank for that you don't, find topics they haven't covered deeply, and discover questions users ask that no one's answering comprehensively. Tools: Ahrefs, Semrush, AnswerThePublic, Google Search Console, Reddit/Quora mining.

Industry experts with real credentials. For healthcare, we use medical professionals. For finance, certified financial planners. For tech, experienced developers. We can also work with your in-house experts and ghost-write/edit their knowledge into SEO-optimized content.

Yes! Content refresh often delivers faster ROI than new content. We update outdated info, add depth, improve E-E-A-T signals, optimize for new keywords, and add internal links. Expect 30-50% traffic increase on refreshed pages within 2-3 months.

Month-to-month contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. That said, content strategy takes time — we recommend minimum 6 months to see meaningful authority growth and ROI. Most clients stay 12+ months because results compound.

Yes. We've created content for SaaS, fintech, healthcare, legal, manufacturing, B2B tech, and more. For highly technical topics, we interview your internal experts, research extensively, and have subject matter experts review before publishing.

Typical clients see: 2-3x organic traffic increase within 12 months, 50-100+ new keyword rankings, 30-50% increase in qualified leads from organic. Long-term (18-24 months), authority content delivers 5-10x ROI as compound rankings grow.
