Find the questions that exist
Research into what people in your area search before hiring your trade, including the symptom and cost questions most trades avoid answering.
We plan content around the questions, jobs and buying stages that actually exist, then connect it to the pages that turn attention into an enquiry.

03Content that can be explained and maintained
Most trades have been sold content at some point and got nothing from it. A monthly post about seasonal maintenance tips, written by somebody who has never been on a roof, read by nobody, linked to nothing. It is the part of SEO with the worst reputation and mostly it has earned it.
What works is narrower and duller. People search the symptom before they search the trade: the damp patch, the tripping breaker, the boiler fault code, whether they need a certificate. Those searches happen weeks before anybody rings anyone, and whoever answered the question is on the shortlist when they do.
In the order it gets done, because the order matters more than the list.

A shortlist, with reasoning. Most topic ideas don't survive the question of what page they would lead to, and that is the point of the exercise.
Each piece leads with a direct answer, uses your knowledge of the trade rather than generic advice, and connects to the service page it supports. We'll ask you things, because the useful detail is in your head and not ours.
Publishing realistic ranges filters out people whose budget was never close and makes you the firm that was straight about it. Most trades resist this and it is usually the highest-return item on the list.
Every piece routes somewhere commercial. Content with no next page is a leaflet.
Trade bodies, suppliers, local press and genuine associations. We don't buy links, and you should be careful with anyone offering to.
Publishing to fill a schedule. A monthly post nobody searched for is a cost with no return. Better to write six pieces that answer real questions and then stop until there is something else worth saying.
Refusing to discuss price anywhere. The customer will find a number regardless, and if it isn't from you it is from a forum or a national firm quoting for a different job.
If any of these describe you, we would rather say so now than take a month’s money finding out.
Less than you have been told. A handful of pieces answering questions people actually ask will outperform fifty written to fill a calendar.
We write it, using your knowledge. Expect to be asked questions, because the specifics that make it worth reading come from you.
No. We look at your backlink profile and pursue genuine local relevance. Buying links is a risk we aren't going to take with your site.
Tell us your trade and your patch. We'll come back with the questions people there are searching that nobody local has answered yet.
