The Fractional CMO Scaling Problem

You're Sarah. You manage 5 clients. Each one wants "content strategy," but here's the reality:

Manual content

40+ hrs

6 weeks per cluster, 40+ hours planning and writing. You're drowning.

Tool-generated content

No ROI

Jasper, Surfer and others generate 50 blog posts with no strategy, no links, no authority.

The margin problem

60% burn

You charge £500/month for content. Costs eat 60%. You're not scaling, you're burning out.

Result: You can only handle 3-4 clients profitably. You cap out.

Our Strategy Changes the Game

What if you could generate a full 13-article topical authority cluster in 1 hour?

The margin maths

Charge client per cluster£300-500
Your cost per cluster£48
Your profit per cluster£250-400

Deploy 4 clusters/month per client. That's 52 articles x 5 clients = 260 strategic articles.

Fractional CMOs Are Already Winning

"After 27 years in search, I can tell you: Fractional CMOs who deploy topical authority clusters beat those using single-post tools every time. Strategy beats volume."
