Content Strategy & Planning

Get a custom content strategy that drives traffic, leads, and growth. Trendline builds data-backed plans that turn content into a high-performing asset.

Why Content Strategy Matters

Struggling to gain traction in search or not sure what content will actually move the needle? Our Content Strategy & Planning services take the guesswork out of SEO and content.

We map out a data-driven roadmap that aligns content creation with your business goals—so every blog, landing page, and update actually performs.

If you’re done with fluff and ready to build a content engine that ranks and converts, let’s talk strategy.

Content without strategy is just noise. Here’s what happens when there’s no plan:

  • No traffic, no ROI: You might be publishing content regularly—but if it’s not targeting high-value keywords, it’s not getting found.
  • Keyword gaps and overlap: Without a structured approach, teams often cannibalize their own traffic or miss major opportunities.
  • Unclear direction for writers and marketers: When content is reactive instead of strategic, the quality and consistency suffer.
  • Wasted time and budget: Content should be an asset, not a cost center. A clear strategy ensures every hour spent writing translates into measurable outcomes.

A strong content strategy doesn’t just get you ranking—it drives consistent, compounding growth.

How We Build Your Content Strategy

We don’t do cookie-cutter. Every plan is custom-built based on your goals, your audience, and your competitive landscape.

Discovery & Audit

We analyze your current content and SEO performance. That means auditing:

  • Existing blog and page performance
  • Keyword visibility and gaps
  • Backlink profile
  • Technical SEO issues that may block growth

We also look at what’s working for your competitors and where you can leapfrog them.

Keyword Research & Intent Mapping

We identify keyword opportunities by:

  • Analyzing search volume, difficulty, and intent
  • Mapping keywords to the buyer journey
  • Prioritizing based on business impact

This becomes the foundation of your content plan.

Content Roadmap Development

We create a 3–12 month content roadmap, including:

  • Priority topics and keyword clusters
  • Content types (blogs, guides, landing pages)
  • Recommended publishing schedule

We also include on-page guidance to ensure every piece ranks well from day one.

Content Briefs & Production Support

Need help executing the plan? We deliver optimized content briefs or work with your team (or ours) to bring it to life.

Reporting & Refinement

Strategy isn’t static. We monitor performance and adjust quarterly based on what’s working and what’s changed in your space.
