450+ Shopify Stores Built Since 2015. Here Is What That Means for Editorial Plan.
A content plan answers what to write, in what order and why. We build it from real search data and your catalog, so each post helps a shopper and points back to something you sell.

Who this is for
Blog Content Strategy: Who We Work For
A content plan suits particular situations. We meet these six situations most often.
You are a good fit if
- You want a blog content strategy for your store
- You can share your products, goals and any existing posts
- You want a fixed price and a written scope for Shopify Blog Content Strategy & Planning
- You own the store and approve the plan
Stores about to start blogging
A plan keeps the first posts from drifting.
Blogs that stalled
Posting has stopped and nobody knows where to restart.
Owners with writers
Your writers need a clear brief and calendar.
Brands wanting search traffic
Topics must come from what people look for.
Stores with scattered posts
Years of posts have no order or links.
Owners watching effort and results
You want measures that show what is working.
Problems solved
Why Blog Plans Fall Apart
Most blogs are planned by the week, if at all. These six problems are the ones a proper plan removes.
- There is no goal.
Posts are published with no idea what they should achieve.
- Topics are guessed.
Nobody checked whether anyone searches for them.
- Posts do not connect.
Each article stands alone with no links between.
- Products are missing.
Nothing in the post leads to a shelf.
- The calendar slips.
Posting depends on spare time.
- Nothing is measured.
Nobody checks which posts bring visitors.

How Your Editorial Plan Is Delivered, Start to Finish
Six clear steps. Nothing goes live without your approval, and your calculator choices set how long each one runs for the editorial plan.
- 1
Brief and asset review
You describe what good editorial plan looks like for your store and customers. We write the plan down.
- 2
Choose how we get access
Collaborator access is enough, or we can work in our Partner account and transfer the result. We never ask for your password during the editorial plan job.
- 3
Agree goals and gather search evidence
We confirm what the blog must achieve, read your catalog, scan competitors and collect search evidence for the topics around your products before any plan is drawn.
- 4
Build clusters, calendar and link map
We group the topics into clusters, link each to products and collections, lay out a calendar with a brief for every post and write the measures to check each month.
- 5
Check against your brief and your store
Every editorial plan item is compared with the brief, and anything that lands in your store is checked across devices. Problems are fixed on our side, before you review.
- 6
Deliver and hand over
We hand over the editorial plan after sign-off with files and written notes. Revisions are included and you can stop at any point.

Inside every project
What Protects Your Store and Your Budget During Shopify Blog Content Strategy & Planning
Six habits keep your store, your brand and your budget safe while we handle the editorial plan.
Evidence, not hunches
We base topic choices on search evidence we can show you, flag where data is thin and never promise traffic or rankings.
Least access needed
We ask only for the access your editorial plan needs, through Shopify's own sharing tools where a store is involved, and remove it when we finish.
Working files are yours
Final and working files for your editorial plan are handed over, so another person could use them later.
Checked before you look
Every editorial plan item is checked against the brief first, so your review covers taste and wording, not faults.
No promised sales
We make editorial plan to help shoppers decide, and we never promise revenue, rankings or reach.
Rights respected
We only use images, fonts, music and text you own or that are properly licensed in your editorial plan, and we say which.
