What is done-for-you content marketing?
It's an ongoing service in which an agency plans, writes, publishes and refines your content on your behalf. With The Marketing Shop, every program includes a customized Annual Editorial Calendar, blog articles, management of three social platforms you choose, email newsletters and editorial quality assurance, all built around your expertise and approved by you before anything is published.
What's the difference between the three programs?
All three share the same editorial foundation. Editorial Presence ($997 per month) includes a quarterly recorded strategy meeting, two blog articles a month, two posts a week on each of three social channels and one monthly email. Authority Growth ($1,597 per month) moves to monthly meetings, four blog articles a month, four posts a week on each channel, three monthly emails and expanded SEO, AEO and GEO planning with performance monitoring. Authority Leadership ($1,997 per month) adds a fourth monthly email and one professionally written press release each quarter.
Which social media platforms do you manage?
Each program includes three platforms of your choice from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter) and Pinterest. We'll help you choose the three where your clients are most likely to find you.
Do the programs include YouTube or video?
No. YouTube management, video production and video editing are not included in any of our content marketing programs.
What does the quarterly press release include?
Authority Leadership includes one professionally written press release each quarter, covering editorial planning, research, writing, revisions and preparation for distribution. Paid distribution fees are separate unless agreed in advance.
Will the articles sound like me and my business?
That's the point of our process. Each piece starts from conversations with you and your team, so the ideas, examples and judgment are yours. We shape the writing, and you review it before it's published. Over time, the voice becomes more precise.
Do I have to write anything myself?
No. Your role is to share your knowledge, set priorities and review what we prepare. We handle the agreed writing, editing and publishing. Your input matters, but it shouldn't feel like a second job.
Can content marketing help my business appear in AI search?
It can help. AI research tools draw on clear, accurate, well-documented information, and a consistent library of expert content gives them better material about your business. No one can guarantee AI recommendations or citations, so we focus on what we can control: accuracy, structure, useful answers and ongoing evaluation.
How do you decide what topics to cover?
We start with your business goals, your clients' recurring questions and your areas of genuine expertise, then layer in search research and seasonal timing. The result is an editorial direction you approve, revisited as your priorities change.
How do we measure whether content marketing is working?
We look at what was published, search visibility, meaningful engagement and, where attribution is available, inquiries and referral conversations. Authority Growth and Authority Leadership include ongoing performance monitoring as part of their expanded search strategy. Content builds over time, so we review trends rather than single weeks and use what we learn to refine the plan.
