Content Strategy & Production
We create a 90-day content calendar filled with blog posts, written by us.
Where is your roadmap taking you?
Or do you even have one?
A lot of us think we need to be blogging – someone once told us that.
But writing articles and content strategy are not the same thing, not by a long shot. One is an exercise in creativity while the other is a results oriented approach to organic growth – I’ll let you guess which one’s which.
Writing just for the sake of it is often a terrible use of marketing budgets. You need to do keyword research and a competitor analysis. You need to have a clear prioritization of what articles you’re going to be writing, when, and how they’ll look. You need to be evaluating all finished products to ensure it’s SEO optimized.
Or, if that sounds daunting, you can have us do it.
We’ll do the research. We’ll create the strategy. We’ll write the articles. Read on to learn how!

Shortlist - an excellent SEO link building partner
Shortlist and their team, led by Darko in my case, did extremely well and delivered on all aspects of our cooperation.
They worked on some of our link-building campaigns for around a year and the performance was excellent.
Articles were of great quality human written, and tailored to our niche. If there ever was a problem with a website where a link was built – it was very swiftly corrected or improved, and the communication from their team was excellent.
Shortlist is a recommended SEO and link-building service.

ElephantDrive brought Shortlist.io’s team on to help us improve our organic traffic – they’ve been nothing short of amazing. We work with them doing on-page SEO, guest articles around the internet and content for our own blog, and it’s one of the few vendors we consider to be part of our team. A+
Within 6 months we’re seeing a noticable bump in the way google looks at us, and as a result, the traffic we receive.
