Design Evaluation
The right visuals make content more appealing and
engaging. They keep users coming back for more. We
review readability and user experience (UX) elements,
such as accessibility, layout, font sizes, color schemes,
and image quality.
Every dollar invested in UX design
yields a $100 return.“

Competitor Analysis
Competitive content analysis provides insights into the
areas our competitors are good at and where they’re
lacking. The goal isn’t to duplicate what they’re doing
but to identify opportunities we can leverage.
Whether it's Google or Apple or
free software, we've got some
fantastic competitors and it keeps
us on our toes.

Analyzing competitor content can
surface insights such as:

●Which content formats they seldom use
●The effectiveness of their SEO (e.g., link-building and
keyword usage)
●The best ways to infuse unique angles on common
themes and topics
