Content Audit & SEO Strategy · Australia & New Zealand
Content Audit & Strategy That Builds Topical Authority
I analyse your content against your top 3 competitors, identify the gaps holding you back, and deliver a complete content strategy - including 5 pillar content topics, 25 supporting blog ideas, and detailed content briefs. Everything you need to build topical authority and dominate your niche.
Does this sound familiar?
Most businesses publish content consistently but see little to no ranking improvement. The issue is rarely effort - it's strategy.
Publishing regularly but not ranking
You're writing blog posts consistently but traffic isn't growing and rankings aren't improving. All that effort feels wasted.
No topical authority
Google doesn't recognise your site as an expert in your niche. Individual pages struggle to rank because there's no supporting content structure around them.
Targeting the wrong keywords
You're writing about topics that feel relevant but don't have search demand, or competing for keywords that are far too competitive for your current authority.
No content hierarchy
Your blog is a collection of unconnected posts rather than a structured content ecosystem. There are no pillar pages, no topic clusters, no internal linking strategy.
Here's what your content strategy package includes
A complete content strategy with actionable deliverables covering every aspect of your content roadmap.
Competitor Content Analysis
Analysis of your top 3 competitors to understand what's working in your market - top-performing blog content, content formats, topics driving organic traffic, and gaps you can exploit.
Content Gap Analysis
A clear picture of what's missing from your content - topics competitors cover that you don't, keywords with traffic potential, unanswered audience questions, and opportunities to outperform.
5 Pillar Content Recommendations
Core topics your website needs to establish topical authority - aligned with your services and goals, with proven search demand, in areas where you can realistically compete.
25 Supporting Blog Post Ideas
For each pillar, 5 supporting content ideas with specific topics, target keywords, search intent alignment, and how each piece connects to its pillar.
Content Briefs for Pillar Content
Detailed briefs for each of your 5 pillar content pieces including target keywords, recommended word count, outline with H2/H3 structure, key points, and internal linking recommendations.
Strategy Report (PDF)
Executive summary bringing everything together - content audit findings, competitor insights, strategic recommendations, implementation priorities, and content calendar framework.
Real results from content strategy
These results came from the same content strategy principles applied to different industries.
How the content audit and strategy works
From competitor analysis to a complete content roadmap with detailed briefs.
Step 1
Discovery
You share your core services, target audience, and business goals. I need to understand what you want to be known for - not just what keywords you want to rank for.
Step 2
Analysis
I audit your existing content and identify your top 3 SEO competitors. I analyse what's currently performing, what's underperforming, and map their content strategy to find the gaps you can exploit.
Step 3
Strategy
Using semantic SEO principles, I develop your 5 pillar content recommendations, 25 supporting blog topics, and write detailed content briefs for each pillar piece - all mapped to your topical territory.
Step 4
Deliver
You receive your complete strategy package via email - competitor analysis, content gap report, pillar recommendations, blog topic list, content briefs, and the full strategy PDF. Ready to implement.

Is this the right service for you?
This content audit and strategy service is designed for three types of businesses.
New businesses building content from scratch
You're starting a blog or content programme and want to do it right from day one. Instead of publishing random posts and hoping for results, you'll have a structured roadmap built on competitor intelligence and semantic SEO - so every piece of content you create builds toward topical authority.
Businesses with content that isn't ranking
You've been publishing consistently but organic traffic isn't growing. You need to understand why - whether it's the wrong topics, missing topical depth, poor content hierarchy, or gaps competitors are filling. This audit gives you that clarity plus a clear path forward.
Scaling businesses wanting topical authority
You have some content traction and want to build on it systematically. You understand that ranking for broad, competitive terms requires demonstrating genuine expertise across a topic. This strategy maps out exactly how to achieve that - efficiently and with a clear structure.
