Content designed for users, informed by data

To truly connect with your audience and establish your brand as an industry leader, you need content that demonstrates a deep understanding of user needs while also aligning with SEO best practices. 

Our content strategists work hand-in-hand with our SEO specialists to ensure that your content serves user needs and meets Google’s standards for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T). We then develop content frameworks and information architectures with user experience in mind, with accessible and effective content, that makes sure users can easily find the information they need.

Our Content strategy service

At Distinctly, we understand the unique challenges faced by businesses navigating the complexities of SEO and content creation. Taking a holistic approach in alignment with our SEO team, we blend strategic insight with expert content strategy and copywriting skills to craft high-quality content that puts your user needs first. These results speak for themselves, elevating your brand’s presence and empowering your business to achieve its full potential.

Discovery

We start by assessing your existing website content. Content auditing is both qualitative and quantitative. It aims to dissect and analyse your existing content landscape, highlight any CRO issues, assess your website performance, pinpoint opportunities, and ensure content relevance and quality.

We’ll pull out any low-performing, outdated, or duplicate content, improving site structure and user experience. You’ll gain insightful, actionable recommendations to feed into your content strategy, enhance organic rankings and transform your digital presence.

User research and journey mapping

It’s then on to the user research which identifies user pain points and desires to integrate a data-led strategy. User research methods include speaking to sales and customer service teams, surveys, social listening, user interviews, GA4 analysis and keyword research. It guides content strategy, ensuring relevance, engagement, and satisfaction.

We’ll then put all that data together to create a bank of user needs. These user needs can then be mapped to the user journey. It helps visualise where there are gaps in your existing content and prioritise areas to update or create new targeted content.

Content strategy and planning

A well-defined strategy enhances site authority, boosts rankings, and grows overall online visibility and conversion rates. Our tried and tested approach is informed by data, providing you with a content strategy that’s on-brand and meets both user needs and business goals. You’ll receive an actionable plan for content creation, content optimisation, and redesign that will drive growth. A plan that’s research-backed, measured, and iterated for continuous improvement. 

Content writing

Our content writing service covers all your needs, from attention-grabbing headlines and persuasive landing page copy to informative product descriptions, helpful FAQs, engaging blog posts, in-depth long-form articles, and shareable social media content. Our expertly crafted copy does more than just fill pages—it drives results. By improving click-through rates, reducing bounce rates, and boosting organic search rankings, our content writing service helps drive traffic and conversions to your website.

Content consultancy

Our content consultancy service empowers your business with the strategic direction and insights needed to take your content efforts to new heights. Our experienced team delves deep into your audience needs to provide you with bespoke solutions.

Whether that be content design, plans, workflows or strategies, tone of voice guidelines, or content training, we can help. With a focus on collaboration and innovation, we work closely with you to uncover opportunities for growth and meet your business objectives.

Our content creation process

We start our technical process by picking out the factors limiting your website’s visibility.

Audience research

We put real time and effort into identifying and understanding the audiences you want to reach, making good use of your insider knowledge. But we’ll also conduct our own thorough research – and we often find customers search in some surprising ways. We need insight into their demographic segment, search intent, online behaviours and other factors. Only then can we begin to craft the language that will appeal to them.

Getting the tone right

What draws some people in can have others rushing for the exit. Using all the information gathered on your target audience, we’ll shape and polish a unique tone of voice for your customers. If needed, we can help you create different personas and approaches for distinct types of customers. Having found the right tone of voice for your audience/s, we’ll brief our copywriters on it, ensuring a unified tone across all the content we create.

High-quality content for all

Everyone likes captivating content that keeps you wanting more. There’s so much content online now that you have to grab customers' attention – and not let go. And there’s also search engines to consider. After all, they’re how audiences get to your site. Luckily, they also appreciate high-quality, logically ordered content, smartly optimised so that it ranks for relevant search terms.

Frequently asked questions about content services

What does a content writing agency do?

Our content agency specialises in user-centric content and content strategy. It looks at building a foundation of user research and then crafts a robust SEO-backed content strategy. We also create, manage and deliver content for clients across a multitude of platforms, including conversion-led website copy, blog articles, social media posts, newsletters and more. As a skilled and experienced agency we ensure that the written content is of exceptional-quality, engaging, and tailored to the client’s specific needs, helping them effectively communicate their message and connect with their audience.

When do I need a content agency?

You may require the services of a website content agency for a huge range of reasons. Does your website require strategic direction with its content? Do you need product copy that sells? Do you need to create blogs on a specific topic to showcase your expertise? Or, do you need attention-grabbing text that will sit on the homepage of your website?

This is not an exhaustive list, but what we do know is that Google likes unique detailed content, so this will help your website to rank and drive organic traffic.

Does my website need optimised content?

Absolutely. Any website needs optimised content. It’s one of the fundamental ways Google and other search engines find your site – and the primary way for people to find it.

Optimising your content is a highly effective way of demonstrating expertise, experience, authority and trust (EEAT) to Google, which is a key indicator of site quality for them. Do it well, and you’ll start rising up the page rankings, reaching more and more potential customers.

What will you get with content support from Distinctly?

We can provide comprehensive, all-round content support, covering every stage from audience research to a complete content overhaul of your site. Or we can work on a project basis, addressing a content gap to push you up the search results or provide a quantitative and qualitative audit with actionable recommendations.

We have plenty of content expertise: simply choose how much you need.

Why is it important to have an SEO content strategy in place?

Thinking about the questions your users are likely to ask online, rather than focusing directly on your product or service, is the key to a successful content strategy.

It’s about moving away from meaningless sales copy and writing relevant, authoritative content that not only answers common queries, but improves your standing with Google. The more you develop a reputation for delivering reliable, high-quality content, the higher you’ll rank.
