Content Production

How we build the article.

Each article is underpinned by hours of research, a tested thesis, contrasting examples, expert insight and industry context. The goal is credible third-party content that features the brand or person without reading like a commercial.

01

Thesis and angle

We turn the brief into a clear article thesis so the final piece has a reason to exist beyond the placement itself.

02

Research and evidence

Industry news, expert insight, market examples, studies and contrasting cases are gathered before drafting starts.

03

Credible inclusion

The brand, person or asset is introduced as evidence, context or expert perspective, not as forced praise.

04

Critique and revision

Drafts go through structured critique, editing and quality checks before they move to approval or publication.

Revision Desk

Review, refine and approve each article.

Revision Desk gives each draft a focused review workspace. Read the article, inspect the sources, invite feedback, process comments into grounded revisions and approve when ready.

Source-backed review

Inspect the draft alongside the source set used to create the article.

Shareable feedback links

Invite stakeholders to read, comment and suggest edits without needing an account.

AI-assisted edit queue

Dismiss feedback or process comments into grounded revision proposals.

Approval handoff

Approve the final draft so Rank Engine can move into prospecting and placement delivery.

Approvals When Needed

Add review steps only where you need them.

You can move quickly, or add review steps for content and placement decisions. Approvals are free on your first order and optional after. Campaigns with approvals use a longer delivery window so there is time for review cycles.

Content approval

Review drafts, request edits and approve before content moves forward.

Placement approval

Review publisher sites before Rank Engine commits to the placement.

Order discussion

Keep feedback, questions and account-manager discussion attached to the order.

Revision Desk keeps the source set used to produce the article available beside the draft for review.
