      Dave Alsobrooks's Review Sourced from Google

      Heritage has a fantastic team that brings integrity and intention to their work. I've spent 25 years in marketing and branding, working on the agency, consulting, and now on the client side—I would place their work against anything I've held in the highest regard throughout this time. As a client, I appreciate how they listen first and then build thoughtful and intentional insights that lead to actionable plans. They're very collaborative throughout the process. Our first project yielded deep strategic recommendations and a Roadmap that has provided value for 6 months and counting. Their plans are accessible and feasible based on their understanding of their clients. I look forward to our ongoing work!

Frequently Asked Questions

What do content marketing companies do?

Content marketing companies create and distribute digital content intended to inform, attract, engage, retain, and inspire action across target audiences. The main goal of their produced work is to drive greater brand awareness, boost organic traffic and SEO rankings, and guide prospects through the buyer's journey to ultimately increase leads and sales. 

What services do they provide?

Key services provided by content marketing agencies include: 

  • Content strategy development: Curating bespoke plans to align content with business objectives, ideal customer profile (ICP) intent, and industry trends. 
  • Content creation: Producing content in the form of blog articles, videos, white papers, eBooks, and social media posts, often in line with SEO best practices. 
  • SEO copywriting and keyword research: Optimizing content to rank higher in search engine result pages (SERPs) and improve visibility to potential customers. 
  • Editorial management and publishing: Sourcing writers, editing content, managing content calendars, and handling the publishing process. 
  • Distribution and promotion: Making sure the content reaches the target audience through social media, email campaigns, and paid advertising. 
  • Performance analysis: Monitoring how content performs and tracking traffic, engagement, and conversion rate metrics to refine strategies. 

How much does a content marketing company cost to hire?

Across the US, a content marketing company usually charges between $100 to $500 per 1000-word post.For social media content, the price usually goes between $50 and $150 per post.  

The final price can vary based on a combination of factors: 

  • Length and topic complexity: Shorter, simpler posts cost less compared to in-depth, longer articles. 
  • Expertise: Posts requiring niche knowledge or specific writing style entail higher fees. 
  • SEO adjustments: Extending the service with SEO services like keyword research and integration can also raise the price. 
  • Additional services: Content promotion, social media sharing, and visual add-ons count as an addition to the base fee.  

How long do different content pieces take to write?

Short, standard articles can take an experienced writer 1 to 3 hours to write, while research-heavy pieces may require over 10 hours. Same as with pricing, the topic complexity and research requirements affect the writing time as well.  

In general, seasoned writers can produce 500 words in 30 to 60 minutes, while for the same work, a beginner might need 2 to 3 hours or more. 

Here are some average time estimates by content type: 

  • Social media posts/short content (75 to 300 words): 30 minutes to an hour 
  • Standard blog post/article (500 to 1000 words): 1 to 3 hours (assuming moderate research) 
  • 1,500-word piece: 3 to 6 hours, depending on depth 
  • Long-form, 2,000-word content piece: 6 to 10+ hours 
  • Technical content piece: Up to 10 hours per 500 words, given the need for extensive research and citations 
  • Full website content coverage (20 pages): 11 to 40 days, depending on the complexity of the brand voice and required research 

What types of businesses benefit most from working with a content marketing agency?

Small businesses, startups, expanding brands, and companies looking to set or correct a brand image benefit the most from a content marketing collaboration.  

Businesses starting from the ground up benefit a lot from a content marketing agency as it maps out a clear strategy and builds an audience from day one. Companies dealing with a bad reputation or a complex rebranding phase also see considerable returns, as a good agency can use honest storytelling to fix misconceptions and win back trust.  

At the same time, if a brand is entering a new market or launching a unique product line, specialized content helps them spread the message more easily by producing pieces in the local language. 

How long does it take to see results from content marketing services?

Content marketing follows a more extended trajectory as it takes time for search engines to recognize and rank the content. As the content library expands and gains credibility, brands start to see incremental growth in 3 to 6 months.  

The same goes for social media: as content compounds and reaches more people, the organic traffic gets steadier and lead generation efforts start gaining more traction.  

How is content marketing different than SEO?

Content marketing is the substance, i.e., the strategy of creating value to build a relationship with the intended audience. SEO is the visibility or the technical process of making that value discoverable by search engines. 

Essentially, they are two sides of the same coin: SEO makes demands (keywords, structure), and content marketing fulfills them.  

Across both practices, quality comes first. Namely, if the piece is optimized for a search engine but fails against the intent of the reader, the content will eventually lose its rank because it lacks topical authority.
