What you get
- Topic + keyword research (Ahrefs, SEMrush, GSC)
- Editorial calendar for first 3 months
- Brief template + writing system docs
- AI drafting workflow (Claude Pro prompts + writing standards)
- Editorial review checklist + AU English + brand voice guide

- Publishing pipeline (Astro / WordPress / Shopify)
- Social repurposing templates (LinkedIn, Twitter, IG)
- GA4 + GSC reporting dashboard

This is ideal for
- AU SMBs with proven SEO opportunity but no content production capacity

This is NOT ideal for
- Brand-new businesses without product-market fit (focus on customer development first)
- B2B accounts targeting <50 prospects total (content is too broad for that)
AI content engines built badly are the cheapest way to destroy your SEO. Built well they’re the cheapest way to dominate your category. We do it well.
What “done” looks like
Every DotVA AI services engagement is fixed-scope, fixed-price, and fixed-timeline. No retainers without a defined deliverable. No “discovery phases” that turn into 6-month projects. The scoping call is free; the written quote that follows is what you sign off on.
Why we say no
We turn down roughly 30% of applications. Usually because the team isn’t ready, the goal isn’t clear, or there’s a simpler path that doesn’t need us. We’d rather tell you that on the discovery call than take a brief that won’t deliver. The shortest path to outcome isn’t always us.

Two minutes. We read every application within 1 business day. If we’re a good fit, we book the scoping call. If we’re not, we say so — and usually suggest who is.

Common questions
Won't AI content tank our SEO?
Generic AI content does. AI-assisted content that's briefed by a human, drafted with AI, reviewed by a human, and grounded in your actual expertise works. The 2026 SEO consensus is that the human-AI loop is the standard; the question is process quality.
Who writes the briefs?
Initially Jenn or a senior DotVA editor. After 90 days, your team can take over with the templates + standards we provide.
What about E-E-A-T and author bylines?
Critical in 2026. We design the byline + Person schema so AI Overviews and Google treat your content as authoritative. Bylines must be real humans.
Retainer cost?
$1,500-$5,000/month depending on cadence. Quoted in the discovery call.
