Frequently asked
Should I hire a content agency or a technical SEO agency first?+
Diagnose first. Publishing into a site with canonical conflicts, render delays or index bloat wastes the content budget, because the pages either do not get indexed or get clustered with existing ones. If the technical base is clean, content is usually the higher-return next spend.
Do you write content?+
We produce briefs, answer blocks, schema and refresh plans, and we write commercially critical pages. For sustained high-volume editorial production, a dedicated content agency is a better fit and we work alongside them regularly.
Does great content earn AI citations on its own?+
Sometimes, but less reliably than people expect. AI engines cite passages they can retrieve and attribute confidently. A strong article without entity anchoring or structured data regularly loses the citation to a weaker page that made its facts machine-readable.
