Content Marketing for Financial Advisors

The fuel that ignites SEO

Blog Writing for Financial Advisors

Competition for Google’s first page has become fierce in the financial services industry. The search engine results pages (SERPs) are cluttered with articles from advisors, personal finance blogs, and major media companies.

It is no longer enough to “write good content.” “Good content” gets lost in the noise. You have to be strategic in order to rank and bring visitors to your website.

It requires looking beyond the broad topics and keywords to find relevant topics, that are searched for, and for which you can rank.

Our Content Writing Process

  1. We get to know your services and target audience so we can find relevant topics.
  2. We do in-depth keyword research to find topics relevant to your services and your audience, and that you have a chance to rank for.
  3. Reverse engineer the content that is currently ranking for that keyword so that we know what Google is looking for.
  4. Create a detailed Content Brief including the keyword research, specification of currently ranking content, and an outline for the article
  5. Use A.I. to write the article based on our direction and requirements.
  6. Our writer then completes the first edit, looking at readability, content accuracy, flow, and grammar.
  7. Following that, our technical editor makes a second round of edits primarily looking at making it more human – removing the repetitious ideas, words, and unnatural sounding language common to A.I..
  8. A third editor looks for anything that may have been missed during the first two edits.
  9. Finally, it is sent to the client for approval. The client can send it back to us for more work, or approve it.
  10. We will post the article to your website, find a suitable image, optimize the article, and publish it.
