Who this is for
You have a strategy. You just don’t have time to execute it.
The Managed Content Service is for companies that know what they want to say but can’t carve out the hours to write, research, and repurpose it consistently. You get a full month of content built on your pillars, delivered on schedule, ready to publish.
Founder-led companies with no marketing hire
You’re doing the strategy work yourself and running everything else too. Getting content off your plate is the highest-ROI move you can make right now.
Teams that publish inconsistently
You know consistency matters. You’ve started and stopped three times. A fixed monthly deliverable makes it someone else’s job to keep the schedule.
Companies that just completed a strategy
You have pillars. You have a 90-day roadmap. Now you need someone to actually write the content. This is built to plug directly into that work.
Monthly deliverables
What lands in your Google Drive every month
Same deliverables, same schedule, every month. No chasing. No following up. It shows up.
SEO-optimized content pieces
Each piece runs 800 to 1,200 words and targets a specific keyword within your monthly content cluster. Written in your brand voice, structured for both human readers and AI-synthesized search results. These don’t have to live on a blog—content clusters work just as well as standalone pages on your site.
Platform-specific social excerpts
Every post gets four social excerpts written for the specific platform you name at onboarding. LinkedIn reads differently than X. Instagram requires different framing than Threads. You choose your platform. The excerpts are formatted for it.
Note: Social media management is a separate monthly package. See the Social Media Management package.
Topic cluster hub page
Each month’s content can be anchored by a master hub page—a single destination that signals topical authority to search engines. It’s an option, not a requirement, and you’ll decide at onboarding.
Performance report or production summary
You choose which one at onboarding. Both are described in the section below.
Content delivery, not publishing. Everything above is delivered as Google Docs in a shared Google Drive folder. You or someone on your team handles publishing. If you assumed we’d be logging into your CMS, we won’t.
You choose at onboarding
Two options for your monthly report
Both are included at the same price. The difference is what data you’re comfortable sharing.
Performance Report
You grant read-only access to Google Analytics 4 and Search Console at onboarding. Rick reviews the data each month and produces a real performance report: traffic trends, keyword movement, and what that means for next month’s cluster.
- Actual traffic and search data
- Keyword ranking movement
- Top-performing content analysis
- Strategic adjustments for next month
- Requires read-only GA4 + Search Console access
Production Summary
No data access required. Each month you receive a clear summary of what was delivered, which cluster was targeted, the keyword rationale behind each post, and what’s planned for next month.
- Complete list of posts delivered
- Cluster and keyword rationale
- Social excerpt breakdown
- Next month’s cluster preview
- No analytics access required
How it works
Month one is different. After that, it runs itself.
The first month requires real work up front. That’s what makes every month after it consistent.
Deep onboarding intake
After checkout you’ll receive a detailed onboarding form on our website. It covers your brand voice, target audience, competitors to watch, existing content to avoid replicating, off-limit topics, and the content pillars you want to own.
Your brand brief
Month 1 produces a written brand brief—a reference document Rick uses to write every piece of content going forward. Built from your onboarding form and kickoff call. It captures your voice, positioning, and the guardrails content has to stay within. This is a focused working document, not a full brand strategy.
Monthly priority update
At the start of each new month, you’ll fill out a short online form: any new priorities, product launches, topics to hit, or things to avoid. Takes about 5 minutes. That’s your input for the month.
Content delivered as Google Docs
Your content, social excerpts, and monthly report land in your shared Google Drive as Google Docs on schedule. One round of minor revisions is included per month. You or your team handles publishing.
Quarterly strategy meetings
Every quarter we meet to review what’s working, what’s not, and where the content roadmap goes next. We check cluster progress, look at performance data, and adjust the brief if your priorities have shifted.

About Rick Ramos
I started in marketing during the early commercial internet, running campaigns for what was then the 17th largest website in the world. Two of those campaigns crossed three billion impressions. I’ve watched two complete marketing eras collapse, and the current one is in the middle of its own shift.
After adtech, I spent eight years as CMO of HealthJoy, taking the company from zero to a $500 million valuation with more than 1,500 employer clients. I wrote the first edition of Content Marketing in 2013. I’m publishing Content Marketing 2.0: Built for the AI Era in 2026 because the system changed underneath us again.
The Managed Content Service is AI-assisted and human-reviewed. The AI handles research and first drafts. I review every piece before it goes out. That’s what the price covers.

Before you sign up
Common questions
What exactly does “AI-assisted, human-reviewed” mean?
The AI handles initial research, keyword analysis, and first drafts. Rick reviews every post for accuracy, voice, and quality before it’s delivered. Think of it as an AI that does the heavy lifting with a CMO who makes sure the work is actually good.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, with 30 days notice. If you’re in the middle of a month, you’ll receive whatever content is already in progress for that month.
Do you log into my website to publish?
No. Content is delivered as Google Docs in your shared Google Drive folder. Publishing, CMS access, and scheduling are entirely your responsibility.
What counts as a revision?
One round of minor edits per month: word choice, small factual adjustments, tone tweaks. A revision is not a rewrite, a change of topic, or a new brief.
Which social platforms do you write excerpts for?
You name one platform at onboarding and all 32 excerpts are formatted for it. LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook—whatever makes most sense for your audience.
What happens in month 1 vs. ongoing months?
Month 1 produces a brand brief built from your intake form and a kickoff call. That brief drives every piece of content going forward. Every month after that runs on a 5-minute priority update form. Quarterly meetings are included throughout.
What if I don’t have a content strategy yet?
The Managed Content Service works best when you have a strategy to execute against. If you don’t have one, the Content Marketing Strategy Report ($499, one-time) is the right starting point.
What does “topical content cluster” mean?
Instead of publishing on loosely related topics, the Managed Content Service targets one specific subject area each month. All 8 pieces connect to the same cluster, building topical authority. Clusters don’t have to live on a blog—they work just as well as pages on your site.
What’s the difference between the Performance Report and the Production Summary?
The Performance Report uses your actual GA4 and Search Console data. Requires read-only access. The Production Summary covers what was delivered and what’s coming next—no data access required. Both included at the same price.
Do the posts include images?
Content is delivered as Google Docs with text only. Image sourcing and placement are your responsibility during publishing.
Consistent content. On schedule. Every month.
