What we run

What we actually run.

Three buckets of work, one editorial team, one weekly publish cadence. The work an in-house content team would do if it had the bandwidth.

Topic research

Every search, mapped.

We map every topic, question and long-tail your customers actually search. Most companies find they are missing search opportunities they never knew existed.

  • Topic clusters mapped against your category
  • Long-tail and AI-prompt research
  • Approved publishing plan before week one
Content engine

Articles, published.

High publishing cadence, written for the search and built to convert. Every article goes through human edit before it ships, no unedited model output.

  • Articles published direct to your CMS
  • Editor review and fact-check on every piece
  • Conversion paths inside every article
AI surfaces

Where search is going.

Articles indexed by Google and surfaced inside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI overviews. Where customers look today, where they will look tomorrow.

  • Schema, internal linking, technical SEO
  • LLM-friendly structure built in
  • Live dashboard with every URL and status

How it works

Set it up once.

Four steps from brief to live, then a weekly publishing rhythm that compounds. No ramp-up theatre, no thirty-day discovery.

Step 1

Map.

We study your business, your category and your customers. Every search worth chasing goes onto a topic map you can audit.

Step 2

Plan.

We design a publishing plan, which topics first, in what order, against which customer intents. You sign off before we write a word.

Step 3

Publish.

First batch ships to your CMS. Dashboard live the same day. Every URL is indexed by Google and visible to you.

Step 4

Compound.

New articles every week. Rankings move from around month three. Traffic follows. AI surfaces follow. Leads follow traffic.

What you actually get

Five things you can hold us to from week one.

The version of an SEO content engine a senior in-house team would build for itself, written down before the engagement starts rather than after.

  • A topic map mapped to real searches, signed off before write-up.
  • Articles published direct to your CMS, in your name, on your domain.
  • Technical SEO (schema, internal linking, on-page) handled end to end.
  • Dashboard with every article URL, publish date and indexed status.
  • Named account owner who knows your topic area.

Questions

The usual asks.

The questions people ask in the first call. If yours isn't here, hit reply on the audit form.

How much does this cost?
Engagements start at £8k per month for a topic map and a publishing cadence of roughly eight long-form articles a month. Scales up from there. Free audit first, retainer after, never the other way round.
Who owns the content?
You do. Every article is published on your domain, in your name, with full IP and CMS ownership. If we part ways, every word stays with you.
Do humans actually write this, or is it pure AI?
Researchers and editors are human. AI assists with draft generation against the topic map, but every piece is edited, fact-checked and signed off by a named editor before it ships. No unedited model output goes near your domain.
How long until rankings move?
First rankings on long-tail queries from week six to eight. Category-defining terms take three to nine months depending on competition. Free audit gives you a category-specific estimate, not a hand-wave.
Will Google penalise us for high publishing volume?
No, if the work is genuinely useful and written for humans first. Yes, if it's spun, regurgitated, or unedited. Authority OS is built so the answer stays no, and that is the whole point of the editor layer.
How do you bill?
Flat monthly retainer billed in advance. Includes research, writing, editing, technical SEO and the dashboard. No per-article surcharges, no hidden production fees.
