How it runs
The Content Lead targets Keywords where buyers name an alternative and writes each Page from the Startup’s own records. Each Page is refreshed on a fixed cadence. A Page that loses rank twice is rewritten or pruned, and link requests wait their delay window like any outbound Message.
Processes
Runs as Content marketing, accountable to the Marketing Team.
Also sold as a Service: Demand generation.
