How to draft a blog post for your next priority search topic

The Search Crew picks the topic, the Content Crew drafts the post in your voice with a target page and rationale, and you approve the draft and where it publishes.

Content Crew

When you need this

You know which topics you should rank for, but the blog has not had a new post since the last person who wrote them left.

How the crew does it

  1. Take the topic brief

    Content Crew

    The Search Crew hands over the priority topic, the intent behind it and the page it should support.

  2. Draft the post

    Content Crew

    The Content Crew writes the post from your positioning and source material, with a stated target page and the reason for it.

  3. Check voice and claims

    Content Crew

    The Brand Crew reviews the draft and flags every claim that needs a source or your sign-off.

  4. Approve the draft and destination

    You

    You edit the post, settle the flagged claims, and confirm where it publishes.

  5. Stage it for publishing

    Content Crew

    Where a CMS connection is in place the post is staged as a change for the Website Crew to ship after approval; otherwise you get the final copy to publish.

What waits for you

Drafts accepted and published, and later traffic or lead movement attributed to the post.

Limits

Publishing to your site needs a CMS connection and an approval; without one, the crew hands you the finished draft. It does not invent statistics or customer stories.
