Content marketing that earns its keep
Strategy first, then the words and video to carry it out: content built around what your customers actually search for, ask about and buy.
Content Marketing services
Before anyone writes a word: what to publish, in what order, targeting which searches, and what each piece is expected to return.
Learn more → Blog WritingResearched, properly written posts targeting the searches your customers make, published consistently, so the traffic compounds instead of flatlining.
Learn more → CopywritingWeb copy, landing pages and ads written in plain English: clear about what you do, honest about why it’s good, and built to convert.
Learn more → Video MarketingPlanned, shot and edited for the platforms your customers actually watch: video that explains, convinces and gets reused everywhere it can.
Learn more →Most content marketing is publishing without a plan: a blog nobody reads, updated whenever someone remembers, measuring success in posts shipped. We do it the other way round. First a strategy (who you are trying to reach, what they search for, what convinces them), and then content made to serve it, each piece with a job and a way of knowing whether it did it.
Content is also the engine behind our SEO work in Manchester: the two are designed to feed each other, which is why the linking between them on this site is not an accident. A well-researched article that answers a question your customers actually ask can rank for years. One client’s content, mapped to the questions real patients type into Google, now brings in over £1m a year in bookings from organic search. That is what content looks like when it is treated as an asset instead of an obligation.
The honest caveat: content compounds slowly. Expect three to six months before search traffic moves meaningfully, and be suspicious of anyone who promises faster. What you get in exchange is the cheapest sustainable customer acquisition most businesses will ever own, and a library that keeps working while you sleep.
What you get
Content strategy
A documented plan tying every piece of content to search demand and commercial intent, not a calendar of guesses.
Blog writing
Researched, readable articles written to rank and to convince, by writers, not a content mill.
Copywriting
Web copy, landing pages and ads that say what you do plainly and give people a reason to act.
Video marketing
Short-form and long-form video planned, shot and cut for the platforms your customers actually use.
Senior consultancy
A straight answer on what to do next, from someone who has done it, not a junior reading a checklist.
Measurement
Every piece tracked through to traffic, enquiries and revenue. If it isn’t working, we say so and change course.

Questions, answered honestly
Do we own the content you create?
Yes, all of it. Articles, copy, video and strategy documents are yours once delivered: publish them, edit them, reuse them wherever you like, whether or not we are still working together. Content is an asset, and it belongs to your business, not to the agency that made it.
How long before content marketing shows results?
Three to six months for search traffic to move meaningfully, longer for the compounding to really kick in. A post that ranks pays rent for years, but it does not rank in a fortnight. We report monthly so you can see it building rather than taking it on faith.
Do you use AI to write content?
We use it the way any sensible writer does (for research and drafting speed), but nothing is published without a human who understands your business writing, checking and standing behind it. Generic AI content is easy to spot and Google increasingly agrees.
What kind of businesses do you write for?
Mostly service businesses, clinics and consultancies where the buyer does real research before picking up the phone: the situations where good content does the persuading. We have written for healthcare, professional services, trades and software.
Can you work with our in-house team?
Yes, and it is often the arrangement that works best: we set the strategy and the standards, your team does some or all of the writing, and we review and fill the gaps. You get senior direction while the writing stays close to the people who know the business best.
How is this different from just hiring a freelance writer?
A good freelancer writes what you brief. We work out what to brief (which topics will actually rank, convert and earn links), then write it and measure whether it did. The strategy is usually worth more than the words.
