What'sIncluded
Each blog will be between 500 -1,000 words depending on the subject and level of information required for it to read beautifully.
The subject will have been fully researched by myself prior to writing, and fact checked.
Between 1-3 royalty-free images will be included, along with their accreditation, depending on what is appropriate to the post. Alt text for each will be included.
Each post will include relevant keywords, in-links to other pages on your own website, and out-links to credible, relevant web pages.
Posts will be broken up with sub-headings, bullet points and images, where appropriate, to enhance the reader's experience.
Every post will contain an all-important call to action.
Two free edits are included.
Each blog will be delivered to you as:
-
A Word document containing just the copy;
-
A PDF showing the intended layout with images included;
-
The images sent as individual separate files;
-
A Word document with alt text for each image and a meta description for each blog.
Ideally you should look to publish 2-4 blog posts a month. I will deliver the posts within the time frame agreed between us.
Only once you have confirmed that you are happy with the finished piece/s will I send across the invoice.

What are the Top 5:
Places to Eat Out - Your recommended restaurants, local farm cafes or even the pub in your village. What are the hidden gems your guests need to know about?
Sites to Visit - World heritage sites, National Trust houses or perhaps the local beach - showcase the local places that are worth a visit.
Local Activities - Cider tasting, willow weaving, alpaca walking - let your visitors know the fun things to do when they come and stay.
Each of these are an excellent blog topic and well worth including if you want to encourage visitors to your site. Other ideas include - the best dog-friendly pubs, the top seaside strolls, or perhaps - the top 5 rainy day activities.

Why Do You Need a Blog?
A blog is an invaluable tool that allows you to build trust with your clients, and tell your brand story in an engaging, unique and entertaining way. But more than that, regular blogs, that are SEO optimised, can increase your rankings on Google, ultimately placing your website above your competitors.
In order to stand out, a good blog should consist of quality, engaging, relevant content that inspires the reader, answers their questions or addresses their pain points. In doing so not only do you begin to build relationships with your website visitors, but you build confidence in them as an expert in your field.
The more regularly you blog original, fresh content, the more search engines will treat your pages as a credible, legitimate source of information, ranking you higher in the process.
But writing blogs is not easy and it can be really time-consuming. It’s not just the creative writing process, it’s researching the relevant keywords, sourcing appropriate royalty-free images, the addition of in-links and writing SEO-optimised titles, meta-tags and alt text, all aimed at increasing your readers’ dwell time. And let's not forget the killer title and crucial call to action.
A blog should be broken up into easily digestible pieces in order to hold the reader’s attention – think paragraphs, sub-headings, bullet-points and those all important images. And what on earth do you blog about? Coming up with new ideas on a regular basis can also be exhausting.
If all that sounds tedious and, frankly, painful, then this is where I come in. I write your blog so that you can spend those long hours doing, well, honestly? Anything else that you choose!
Afterall, time is precious.
