📈 Scaling content velocity is the biggest challenge in SEO

Publishing a lot of content requires people.

And people are inherently more complex than 301 redirects.

 

Every word is a liability to mess something up.

Messaging, positioning, internal linking, offers, CTAs, pricing. And there are a lot of mistakes.

 

Edge cases and fires compound as you scale.

Burning everyone out.

 

Your content isn’t ranking as well as it could.

And you don’t know why.

🥹 The options for scaling content velocity aren't great

DIY

There is a ton of info on SEO, but there is almost zero info on content operations.

Buying a course

SEOs traditionally don’t value content. Most courses only cover surface-level content operations, are video-based, and don’t have SOPs you can hand off to your team today.

Content mills and marketplaces

Cheap content providers are selling a deliverable, not an outcome. Chances are this content won’t rank or generate ROI. And you just lost 3-6 months of forward momentum and tens of thousands of dollars.

Hiring agencies

The best agencies you want to work with have more demand than capacity and charge fees that reflect that. The agencies you can afford haven’t done what you want to achieve.

Hiring in-house

Employees don’t walk in the door with content ops SOPs, templates, and documentation. That stuff belongs to their former employer. Expect hundreds of hours building the basics.

Instead, you need a complete set of documentation and systems covering every aspect of the content production lifecycle. And help implementing it.

We call this the Content Ops Framework.

The Content Ops Framework combines 100+ SOPs and templates, automations, and systems to scale content velocity to hundreds of pages per month.

With the Content Ops Framework, you get:

Consistent growth

Week over week growth, most weeks.

Streamlined systems

Scale up without burning everyone out.

Lower cost

We'll help you build an off-shore, in-house team that outperforms their US counterparts at 70% lower salaries.

Peace of mind

Knowing that you're following a predictable framework that has repeatedly created the outcome you now want to achieve.

Better ROI

Content published using the Content Ops Framework generates more traffic than other content.

Content Ops Framework

Now it’s your turn.

Outcome & results > everything

Most SEO courses focus on technical BS, hacks, and tricks for you to do yourself.

The Content Ops Framework is a series of playbooks, systems, and step-by-step SOPs across the entire content production lifecycle, for you to delegate to your team and then hold them accountable.

Most courses

  1. Hours of video
  2. Overly focused on hacks, shortcuts, and technical info
  3. Many tactics that don’t move the needle
  4. Minimal information on scaling content ops

Content Ops Framework

  1. Proven tactics and strategies
  2. SOPs from our agency
  3. How to do the work for each role on the team

Here's how we'll build content ops into your cultural DNA

PART 1

Systems and
Setup

Deploy our content management system and automations, get familiar with the Content Ops Framework SOPs, join our Slack channel, RSVP for office hours, and schedule a kickoff call.

PART 2

Go To Market (GTM)

Most people think scaling content velocity is just publishing words. Scaling content velocity only works if the foundational work at the beginning is done correctly. We spend 6-weeks creating enablement documentation before writing the first word of publishable content.

 

Knowledge Transfer

Extracting the most important information from stakeholders.

 

Building the Project Bible

This document covers your brand’s tone, voice, messaging, positioning, industry overview, competitors, and more.

 

Creating Your Topical Map

Reveal every single opportunity to get in front of a qualified audience across the entire funnel.

 

Designing Your Content Series Template

The CST is like a content brief but for hundreds of pages of content.

 

PART 3

Recruiting

We’ll help you source, test, and hire highly talented offshore applicants your competition is overlooking at 70% lower rates than their US counterparts

Writers, editors, VAs, and SEOs, we have a predictable recruiting playbook to hire the top 1% for every role you need.

PART 4

Start Publishing

The foundation is laid, and it’s time to start writing. Your feedback on the initial content cohort is integrated into the project documentation.

PART 5

KPI’s

Everybody knows SEO takes time, but we’ve developed a system to know if your campaign is off-track within 8 weeks.

PART 6

Scaling

You’re ROI positive, and it’s time to scale up.

 

You’ll need 8–11 people to hit 100+ pages per month. We’ll help you build systems for all the friction points of managing people. Onboarding, promotions, invoicing, payments, project management, offboarding, policies and everything else.

 

5–6 Writers

Each publishing about 30,000 words per month.

 

2–3 Editors

Each editor can manage 2-3 full-time writers.

 

1 VA

Uploading and updating internal links, etc.

 

1 SEO/PM

That’s you or someone we help you hire.

 

PART 7

Technical SEO

Make a change once, and it propagates every page on your website. Technical SEO has high leverage when you have a big footprint in the SERPs and low leverage when you have a few pages.

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
