Roadmap

Roadmap Creation

Your content strategist will lay out a plan for upcoming blog posts, gated content, video, and more, accompanied by keyword research, target personas, and a content promotion plan.

Execution

Beacon Digital’s team of writers, editors, and journalists will get to work creating the content once the roadmap has your seal of approval. We’ll review materials you provide, conduct background research, and conduct subject matter expert interviews to create compelling and engaging content for your audience.

Report

Reporting

Every month, our team will dive into reporting to give you insight into how your content is performing, including tracking SEO rankings, keywords, and the success of content optimization work we performed in the previous months.
