The content marketing agency built for Google and ChatGPT.
Pillar-and-cluster strategy, senior editorial production, AEO/GEO structuring and CRM-attributed reporting — built for the dual reality of search engines and answer engines. Content that ranks, gets cited and drives pipeline you can measure.
- Senior editors & subject-matter writers
- AEO + schema engineering on every piece
- GA4 + CRM-attributed pipeline reporting
Content is the only marketing asset that compounds.
Paid media stops working the day you turn it off. Social posts have a 48-hour half-life. Cold outbound decays as deliverability tightens. Content is the only acquisition asset that compounds — every published article keeps earning rankings, citations and pipeline for years after the work is done.
In 2026, that compounding effect is amplified by AI search. The articles you publish today are not just ranking in Google — they are training data for the LLMs your buyers will ask tomorrow. Brands with deep, structured, citation-ready content libraries are already showing up in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Brands without them are invisible to the next generation of buyer behaviour.

Six layers. One editorial engine.
Topic & keyword strategy
Pillar-and-cluster maps built around buyer intent, competitor gap analysis and AI-citation patterns. Every brief targets a search term AND an LLM prompt — so the same asset earns rankings and gets pulled into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
Editorial production
Senior writers and subject-matter editors producing 8–30 long-form articles, guides, POV essays and benchmark reports per month — to publication-grade standard. No undergraduates, no content farms, no fully AI-generated copy.
AEO & GEO optimisation
Structured for AI extraction: clear Q&A blocks, FAQ and HowTo schema, citation-ready statistics, entity markup and definitive answers in the opening 200 words. The engineering that gets you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews.
Content ops & repurposing
Every long-form asset broken into LinkedIn posts, newsletter editorial, video scripts, podcast outlines and sales decks. One pillar piece, ten distribution touches — so your content compounds across every channel where your buyers actually spend time.
E-E-A-T & author authority
Author bios, author schema, original research, expert quotes, first-party data and citations — the trust signals Google's helpful-content system and LLM training pipelines both reward. Without E-E-A-T, your content is invisible in 2026 search.
Content-attributed pipeline
GA4 stitched to your CRM so you see which articles, guides and pages drive demos, signups and revenue — not just sessions. Every published asset gets a dollar value, and the editorial calendar gets re-prioritised against pipeline impact every quarter.
From topic strategy to compounding pipeline.
Discovery & Content Audit
We audit your existing content, competitor topical authority, ranking gaps, AI citation footprint and CRM data. You receive a prioritised topic map covering 6–18 months of editorial pipeline with revenue impact estimates for each cluster.
Topic & Keyword Strategy
Pillar-and-cluster architecture mapped against buyer-stage intent, search demand and LLM prompt patterns. Every cluster is sized for organic potential, AI citation potential and pipeline contribution before a single brief is written.
Editorial Brief & Production
Senior editor-led briefs that lock the angle, structure, target keywords, supporting entities, citation-ready statistics and conversion CTAs. Production happens against a four-stage SOP: research → draft → SME review → AEO structuring.
AEO, GEO & Schema Engineering
Every piece is wrapped in the structured data and content patterns LLMs extract from: FAQ schema, HowTo schema, Article schema, entity markup, clear Q&A blocks and definitive answers. This is the layer that earns ChatGPT and Perplexity citations.
Distribution & Repurposing
Every long-form asset is sliced into 8–10 distribution units: LinkedIn carousels, executive POV posts, newsletter editorial, sales enablement docs, video scripts and podcast hooks. One brief, ten compounding touches across owned and earned channels.
Reporting, Iteration & Scale
Monthly reports stitched from GA4 to your CRM: which articles drove sessions, MQLs, demos and revenue. Quarterly editorial replans based on pipeline data. Annual SOP handoff so your in-house team can scale the system independently.
The six levers that move search and AI rankings.
Google's helpful-content system and LLM citation patterns reward the same content qualities. Most agencies still optimise for 2019 SEO. We don't.
Topical authority & cluster depth
Google rewards sites that demonstrate exhaustive coverage of a topic, not just one-off articles. Pillar-and-cluster architectures with 8–15 interlinked pieces per topic outrank thin one-shot content by an order of magnitude in 2026.
E-E-A-T & author authority
Experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust. Author bios, author schema, first-party data, expert quotes and verifiable credentials are non-negotiable for ranking in YMYL and competitive B2B categories.
AI-extractable structure
LLMs reward content that answers questions definitively in the opening 200 words, uses clear Q&A formatting, deploys FAQ and HowTo schema, and surfaces citation-ready statistics. This is what gets pulled into ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
Engagement & scroll depth
Google's quality systems use engagement signals — scroll depth, dwell time, return visits — to validate content quality. Long-form pieces that earn deep reading outrank short, surface-level content even when both target the same keyword.
Original research & first-party data
Benchmark reports, surveys, proprietary data and original analysis earn organic backlinks, journalist citations and LLM references. They are the highest-leverage content format for compounding authority in saturated categories.
Internal linking & content velocity
Consistent publishing (8–15 quality pieces per month) plus aggressive internal linking accelerates how fast new clusters reach authority. Sporadic publishing kills compounding before it starts.
Freelancer vs Generic Agency vs Growth Anchors
Content marketing has three viable delivery models. This is what each actually delivers.
| Capability | Freelancer | Generic agency | Growth Anchors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topic strategy (pillar-and-cluster) | - | Basic | |
| Dual-intent briefs (SEO + AI prompts) | - | - | |
| Senior writers with industry expertise | Junior | Variable | |
| AEO / GEO schema engineering | - | - | |
| Original research & first-party data | - | - | |
| Repurposing across 8–10 channels | - | - | |
| Author E-E-A-T signals & schema | - | Sometimes | |
| CRM-attributed pipeline reporting | - | - | |
| AI citation footprint tracking | - | - | |
| Quarterly editorial replanning | - | - |
Every editorial format your funnel needs.
From top-of-funnel SEO to bottom-of-funnel sales enablement, briefed and produced under one editorial system.
Pillar pages & topic clusters
3,000–6,000-word hubs that own a topic and feed sub-cluster articles. The foundation of any compounding SEO content programme.
SEO guides & evergreen articles
1,500–3,000-word pieces targeting specific keyword clusters with buyer intent. The workhorse format that drives the bulk of organic traffic.
Comparison & alternatives content
'Best of' lists, vs-articles and alternatives pages that capture late-funnel comparison searches — the highest converting content category in B2B.
Original research & benchmark reports
Proprietary data, surveys and category benchmarks that earn backlinks, press citations and LLM references for years after publishing.
Executive POV & thought leadership
Founder, exec and SME-bylined essays that build E-E-A-T signals, LinkedIn distribution and trust with enterprise buyers.
Customer case studies & proof
Story-driven case studies with measurable outcomes, used across sales decks, landing pages and conversion-focused organic content.
Glossaries & definition pages
Definitive entries on category terminology that capture top-of-funnel search and feed LLMs with the canonical definition of your space.
Newsletter & long-form editorial
Weekly or fortnightly editorial that nurtures an owned audience, deepens loyalty and drives recurring organic visits via search and email.
Sales enablement & RFP libraries
Battlecards, deal-room docs, ROI calculators and FAQ libraries that shorten sales cycles and lift close rates by 15–30%.

Questions marketing leaders ask first.
A content marketing agency plans, produces and distributes editorial assets — articles, guides, original research, video scripts, newsletters and lead magnets — designed to attract a defined audience and convert them into pipeline. We go further than that: every brief is engineered for both Google ranking and AI citation, every article is repurposed across 8–10 distribution units, and every piece is reported on with CRM-attributed pipeline. Writers produce posts. We produce a search and answer-engine footprint that compounds for years.
Three things. First, dual-intent briefs — every piece targets a keyword cluster AND an LLM prompt, so the same asset earns Google rankings and ChatGPT/Perplexity citations. Second, senior editorial — your content is written by subject-matter writers with verifiable industry experience, not undergraduates or content farms. Third, revenue attribution — we stitch GA4 to your CRM so you see which articles drive demos, signups and closed-won revenue, not just sessions.
Content drives revenue through three compounding mechanisms: organic search (capturing high-intent buyers searching for solutions), answer-engine citations (showing up when ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answer questions about your category), and sales enablement (giving your sales team trust-building assets to send during deal cycles). Done well, content becomes the lowest-CAC, highest-LTV channel in your acquisition mix — typically the #1 or #2 source of pipeline by month 9–12.
Long-form pillar pages and topic clusters, evergreen SEO guides, comparison and 'best of' articles, original research and benchmark reports, executive POV essays, customer case studies, glossaries, FAQ libraries, newsletter editorials, sales enablement docs, LinkedIn thought leadership, YouTube scripts, podcast outlines and conversion-optimised landing page copy. Every format is briefed against a specific search and AI-citation outcome.
Yes — every piece is structured for Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO). That means clear Q&A blocks, FAQ and HowTo schema, citation-ready statistics, entity markup, definitive answers in the opening 200 words, and source markers LLMs trust. Most clients see 30–60% of their content cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews within 90 days of publishing.
Senior human writers and subject-matter editors with verifiable industry experience. We use AI for research, outline drafting, fact-pattern analysis and editorial QA, but every published word is written and edited by a human. Pure AI-generated content is penalised by Google's helpful-content system and routinely ignored by LLMs as low-trust source material. Hybrid human-AI workflows are the only quality bar that ranks in 2026.
Most brands win at 8–15 long-form pieces per month — enough to build topical authority and compound, not so much that quality drops. We rarely recommend below 6 (no critical mass to influence rankings) or above 30 (diminishing returns unless you are operating as a media brand). Cadence matters less than consistency and quality. A reliable 10 pieces per month for 12 months beats a 30-piece sprint and a quiet quarter.
Rankings and AI citations typically land at 90–120 days for low-to-medium competition keywords. Pipeline contribution kicks in around month 4–6 as your topic clusters reach critical mass and authority compounds. Most clients see content as their #1 or #2 acquisition channel by month 9–12. Content is not a sprint — it is the highest-leverage compounding asset in your marketing stack, and the brands that win treat it as a 24-month commitment, not a 90-day campaign.
We report on organic sessions, keyword rankings, AI citation footprint (tracked across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews), engaged-session rate, scroll depth, MQLs, SQLs, demo bookings and closed-won revenue — stitched from GA4 into your CRM. You see which articles drive pipeline, what the customer journey looks like across multiple content touches, and the dollar value of every published asset.
Yes, with specialist playbooks for each. B2B content is built for long buying cycles, multi-stakeholder buying committees and high consideration — think pillar pages, benchmark reports, ROI calculators and executive POV. B2C content is built for shorter cycles, emotional resonance and broader appeal — think SEO landing pages, listicles, comparison guides and lifestyle editorial. Same editorial standard, different conversion architecture.
We scope every engagement to your goals, market and content velocity, so pricing is quoted per-project. Share your goals via the contact form and we'll send a tailored proposal within 24 hours - no lock-ins, cancel any quarter.
Both models work. Most clients keep an in-house content lead who owns strategy and brand voice while we run the editorial production, AEO optimisation and reporting layers. For leaner teams, we operate as the fully outsourced content engine. Either way, we hand off SOPs, briefs, style guides and ranking playbooks so your team can scale the work in-house when it makes sense.
LLMs cite content that answers the question in the first paragraph, cites primary sources, uses clear entity language and carries FAQ/Article schema. We restructure existing posts and produce new ones with that format so each asset earns citations across engines, not just Google rankings.
Length isn't the signal. Comprehensive coverage of the entity, answer-first structure, unique data and internal links matter more. Most citation-earning posts land at 1,200-2,500 words - long enough to cover the topic, short enough that the answer is obvious.
In-house senior writers with subject-matter interviews, edited by an editor with brand ownership. We use AI to accelerate research and drafting, never for the final copy. Every post ships with a byline, author schema and expert review.
Assisted conversions in GA4, LLM citation share, branded search growth, backlinks earned, pipeline attributed via CRM, and unit economics per content cluster. Traffic without pipeline is a vanity report - we don't send those.
