About this service

Summary

I have over 15 years experience writing and publishing blog, whitepapers and article for a wide range of companies across Australia, US and UK. I can quickly get up to speed on your key messaging, tone-of-voice and products or services.

Process

1. Discovery and Topic Ideation

I begin by understanding your business goals and target audience to ensure each piece of content resonates and engages your readers. We’ll discuss key topics, ideas, and the desired outcome for each blog, article, or content piece, whether it's to inform, engage, convert or simply boost SEO performance.

Key activities:

Client consultation to align on goals and target audience

Topic brainstorming and ideation to find the most relevant subjects

Review of existing content (if applicable) for alignment

Understanding of keywords to be used and targeted

2. Crafting Engaging Content

Whether it’s a blog, long-form article, ebook, or whitepaper, I focus on writing high-quality, engaging content that tells your story and provides real value to your audience. My goal is to not only meet SEO standards but also captivate readers with insightful and well-researched narratives.

Writing includes:

Crafting a compelling introduction to hook the reader

Developing key sections with structured headings for readability

Ensuring the tone and style align with your brand voice (professional, conversational, etc.)

Using storytelling techniques to engage and inform readers

3. Review and Revisions

After completing the first draft, I share it with you and your team for feedback. I ensure the content is aligned with your vision, making revisions as necessary to sharpen the message, tone, or style.

This stage includes:

Delivery of the first draft for review

Multiple rounds of revisions based on client feedback

Adjustments for SEO optimisation, readability, and tone

4. Final Approval and Formatting

Once revisions are complete, I provide the final, polished content. If needed, I can also format the article, blog, or ebook for your website or content management system, ensuring proper heading structure, internal links, and on-page SEO elements.

Final steps include:

Delivering the final draft ready for publication

Optimising content for different formats (blogs, articles, ebooks, etc.)

Ensuring content meets readability standards and is SEO-optimised

Assistance with any upload to your CMS
