Content

Who it is for

Content work suits businesses whose customers do some research before they get in touch. It fits:

• Service businesses whose site has one thin page per service, or a single page for everything.
• Practices and firms that hear the same questions on every first call.
• Businesses that serve several towns and have something real to say about each one.
• Owners who know their trade inside out and have no time to write about it.

What is included

• On Local: two data-backed local pages a month.
• On Growth: four articles a month, on top of everything in Local.
• On Authority: everything in Growth, plus eight articles a month, and a quarterly data study with outreach to local press.
• Every statistic linked to its source, and every draft checked against those sources before you see it.
• Topics picked from your Search Console queries, the questions your customers ask and your scan findings.
• Your approval on every page before it goes live, and separately on any medical, legal or financial claim.

How a page gets written

Each page starts with the question it answers and the material that answers it: what you tell us, what is already on your site, public data and official guidance. NightshiftDirect Scan and Research, our automated drafting system, writes the draft from that material, and every statistic in the draft links to where it came from. We then check the draft against its sources, claim by claim. Anything that does not hold up is cut before you read a word.

Google has said its ranking systems reward original, high-quality content however it is produced, and that using automation to manipulate rankings is spam (Google Search Central Blog). Its guidance on helpful content also asks whether the use of AI is clear to visitors (Creating helpful content). NightshiftDirect's own disclosure is on how we work, which sets out what our automated system does in our work and what stays with people.

What we will not publish

We will not publish pages made to rank rather than to help. Google's spam policies call this scaled content abuse: many pages generated mainly to manipulate rankings instead of serving people, however they are made, AI included (spam policies). A batch of town pages with only the name swapped is the kind of page that policy describes, so we do not write them.

We will not publish near-duplicates either, because a second page that repeats the first in nearly the same words gives a reader nothing new. Before our own service pages go live, a check compares every pair and refuses any two that share too much wording.

Two more lines we do not cross: invented statistics and backdated posts. If we cannot find a source for a number, the number stays out. An article carries the date it was actually published, and a page shows a new updated date only when the page itself has changed.

Local pages that earn their place

A local page is built around one thing people near you search for, such as one of your services or a town you work in. A page about your service in a nearby town is worth publishing when it says something true and specific about that town: the age of its housing, the permits the town requires, how far it is from your base, or the questions people there actually ask. Each of those facts carries its source. When we cannot find enough to say about a place, we do not write the page.

The monthly count depends on your plan. Local brings two data-backed local pages a month; Growth keeps those and adds four articles; Authority takes everything in Growth, plus eight articles a month. If a month runs short of topics we can source, we come to you with options before anything thin gets written.

What it costs

Published plans that include this service: Growth, Authority and Local. Every price is published, and monthly plans run month to month.

All prices, add-ons and the terms that apply to every plan are on the prices page.

How the work gets done

1. You grant access to your website and Search Console from your own accounts.
2. We propose the month's topics from your search data, your customers' questions and the scan findings, and you can swap any of them.
3. For each topic we gather the sources first, and NightshiftDirect Scan and Research drafts the page from them.
4. Every draft is checked against its sources, and any statistic without one is removed.
5. Each page is staged on your site first. You read it there, edit it or approve it, and it goes live only once you approve.
6. Your monthly report lists every page published that month.

Access we ask for

• Your website: add us as a WordPress administrator, or accept our Shopify collaborator request.
• Google Search Console: add us as a Full user.

You grant each role from your own account, and you can remove it from the same screen. We never ask for a password. The access guide shows every step.

What you approve

• Every change before it goes live on your website.
• Any medical, legal or financial claim.

What we do not promise

• Traffic from any one article. Some pages find readers for years and some never do.
• A ranking for any page, article or search term.
• A page on a topic we cannot source. We would rather leave a gap than fill it with guesses.

Questions

Who writes the content?

NightshiftDirect Scan and Research, our automated drafting system, writes the first draft from sources we collect. It is checked against those sources, and you approve it. Our own site says the same on how we work.

Does Google penalize AI-generated content?

Not for being made with AI, as Google's statement on AI content makes clear. What Google looks for is helpful, reliable content made for people (Creating helpful content), so a thin page is a risk whoever wrote it. That is why each page we propose names the customer question it answers and the sources behind the answer.

Who owns the pages you write?

You do. Every page and article we write for you is yours once paid for, and it stays on your site if you leave.

Can I edit a page before it goes live?

Yes, and please do. Change anything you like in the draft. If your edit adds a new figure, we ask where it comes from, so the page keeps its sources.

How do you choose what to write about?

From three places: the searches your site already appears for in Search Console, the questions your customers ask you, and your scan findings, such as service pages that say too little or pages that answer no common questions. You see the list each month and can change it.

Can the pages sound like our business?

Yes. We start from your own words: your existing pages and the way you describe a job to a customer. You mark up the first few drafts, and we keep a written note of your preferences so later drafts need fewer changes.
