Editorial strategy before editorial calendar
Most content marketing agencies in India lead with an editorial calendar — 8 articles, 4 videos, 16 social posts a month. Volume without strategy is why most content marketing programmes plateau in month four and get defunded in month seven.
Our engagements start with an editorial strategy document: target audience segments and the questions each asks at each stage of their buying journey, topic cluster map with primary pillars and supporting spokes, content format decisions tied to SERP intent (not generic 'we do blogs and videos'), and a distribution plan that matches production (content without distribution is invisible; distribution without content is noise).
- Buyer journey question map for each target segment
- Topic cluster architecture with pillars and spokes
- Content format decisions tied to SERP intent research
- Distribution plan matched to production volume
- Quarterly strategy refresh as business and SERP evolve
