Content strategy services tailored to London businesses

Alex Costin’s content strategy covers audits, planning, creation, optimisation, and measurement. Whether you’re a startup, SME, or established brand, the focus is on sustainable, penalty-free growth.

Content audits and gap analysis

Every strong content strategy starts with a clear view of what you already have. Alex audits existing pages, blog posts, landing pages, and social content to identify what’s working, what’s underperforming, and what’s missing.

He maps content against search intent, buyer journeys, and business goals, then prioritises updates, consolidations, and new pieces that will deliver the biggest impact on rankings and conversions.

Market, customer, and competitor research

Content must reflect real demand. Alex conducts market, customer, and competitor research to uncover trends, questions, and gaps others miss. He analyses search data, reviews, social conversations, and competitor content to inform your strategy.

For London businesses, this includes understanding local search behaviour, seasonal trends, and competitor activity across sectors such as professional services, hospitality, property, retail, and tech.

Content planning and architecture

A clear plan turns insights into action. Alex defines content pillars, topic clusters, and editorial calendars that support your SEO and business objectives. He structures content so that pillar pages, supporting articles, and landing pages reinforce each other through internal links.

This architecture helps search engines understand your site’s authority on key topics and improves the chances of ranking for both head and long-tail keywords.

SEO content creation and optimisation

As an experienced content writer and SEO specialist, Alex creates or refines page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and body content for relevance and conversion. He develops blog posts, guides, case studies, and landing pages that attract links and earn rankings.

His content strategies are designed to be discoverable, useful, and aligned with your brand voice. He also optimises existing content to improve rankings, refresh outdated information, and better match current search intent.

Multilingual and international content

If you serve multiple markets, Alex can plan and create content in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and other languages. His multilingual background helps ensure messaging resonates across cultures while maintaining SEO best practices in each market.

This is valuable for London-based brands targeting EU customers, international students, tourists, or global B2B audiences.

AI-ready content and thought leadership

Search is evolving with AI-driven results and generative engines. Alex ensures your content is structured and authoritative enough to be cited in AI overviews and answer boxes.

This includes clear information architecture, expert-level content, strong E-E-A-T signals (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness), and content that answers specific questions in a concise, credible way.

Content distribution and amplification

Great content needs reach. Alex plans distribution across owned, earned, and paid channels: your website, email newsletters, social media, and partner sites. He leverages his network, including over 50,000 Twitter followers and 1,000,000 Facebook fans, to amplify key pieces.

He also creates off-page content and backlinks on his own network of sites to support your core pages, strengthening authority and helping content rank faster.

Analytics, reporting, and continuous improvement

What gets measured gets improved. Alex monitors performance in Google Analytics, Search Console, and other platforms to track rankings, traffic, engagement, and conversions attributed to content.

Reports are clear and actionable: top-performing pages, keyword movements, content gaps, and opportunities for further growth. He uses this data to refine topics, formats, and distribution over time.
