B2B SaaS Content Writer | Blogs, Case Studies, & Ebooks | Helping SaaS businesses create content assets that boost LTV, reduce CAC, & skyrocket growth 🚀

Right now, most B2B SaaS companies have thousands of articles with outdated stats, old messaging, and stale examples. 

They're spending all their resources creating new content while existing articles quietly kill their credibility in every search result and AI overview.

I help companies systematically audit and refresh their content libraries instead of just publishing more stuff they'll never update.

Here's what that looks like:

→ Identify which articles have authority but outdated information
→ Flag where messaging doesn't match current positioning
→ Prioritize updates based on traffic potential and business impact
→ Track ranking changes, traffic recovery, and conversion impact

I've refreshed 200+ articles for companies like HubSpot and Sinch. 

Let's talk if you're ready to stop publishing your way to growth and start optimizing your way there.

Content budgets are shrinking. Teams are getting leaner. Hootsuite cut 20% of their workforce a few months ago, and they’re not alone.

Which makes selling “new content” to leadership really hard right now.

Say you tell leadership: “We need $25K for 20 new blog posts.” Your VP looks at the 500 posts already on your blog—collecting dust—and asks why you’re spending money on new content when you haven’t optimized what you already paid for.

Fair question.

The math:

— New content: $15-20K for 10 posts, 3 months to see results, competing with everything else that month

— Optimizing existing content: Costs less, results in 30-60 days, builds on authority you already have

What’s different now:

LLM search is changing everything. If your content isn’t good enough to be cited, you’re invisible. And with AI cranking out mediocre content in seconds, the bar for “good enough” just skyrocketed.

Your old content library is either a huge asset or a liability. Not much in between.

The companies that optimize their historical content this year will dominate LLM citations. The ones that don’t will keep burning budget on new content that performs just as badly.

Day 5 of 2026 and LinkedIn is already in full productivity mode.

Meanwhile some of us spent New Year’s watching the Stranger Things finale and are still emotionally processing it while working in pajamas on a Monday. 🫠

Content rot isn't a new problem. But it's an invisible one to most content teams.
And it’s not your fault, how could it be? You’re measured on output. New articles published. Content calendar filled. Campaign assets delivered.

Nobody gets promoted for noticing that your 2022 guide is now ranking on page two. Or that your "best tools" roundup is citing pricing that changed eighteen months ago.

So the decay happens in the background. Quietly. While everyone focuses on what's next instead of what's already live.

By the time traffic drops enough to trigger a conversation, you're not dealing with one outdated article. You're dealing with dozens. Maybe hundreds.
And now it's a backlog instead of a quick fix.

The companies getting ahead of this are building content audits into their quarterly planning. Treating refreshes as strategic work, not maintenance.

Content rot is inevitable. Ignoring it until it's visible is a choice.

I audit content libraries and build prioritized refresh roadmaps so you know exactly what's costing you and what to fix first. DM me if that sounds useful.

💰How I’d spend my marketing budget in 2026💰
(probably not the way most people expect)

1/ Community

Not (only) to chase LLM recommendations, but to finally get closer to real users and stop letting opinions drive content and product decisions.

2/ AI training for the marketing team

Not to replace people or turn marketers into engineers, but to make good teams operate better: less Frankenstein DYI-tooling, clearer processes, shared knowledge.

3/ A content repurposing engine

Not to be everywhere, but to consistently show up where the audience pays attention. One strong long-form pillar, a few smart seed channels, and an email list you actually own.

4/ A subject-matter expert on the team (part-time)

Not to complicate org charts, but to kill content bottlenecks, bring fresh insights straight from the source, and finally retire “don’t we have a marketing team for that?”

5/ Partnerships

Not just to 10x distribution, but to build an ecosystem where the traditional roles of creators, customers, partners, and resellers start to merge.

TL;DR
All in on relationships, original content, and solid processes, with AI helping us move faster and (occasionally) better.

It’s 2026 and you want your organic traffic and clicks back the same way you want your old LinkedIn reach back.

I get it. I miss both too. Unfortunately, neither is coming back.

And that’s fine, because traffic was never the end goal. 
It was just the easiest thing to measure.

What actually changed isn’t “SEO performance”.
It’s search behavior.

👵 The old way (RIP):
Google → blue links → blog → nurture → conversion

👶 The new way:
ChatGPT / Google AI / Reddit / LinkedIn → brand mentioned → brand remembered → direct or branded search → pricing / comparison → conversion

Notice what’s missing?
The clicks you’re still reporting on.

📚 Here’s what content teams are seeing, now confirmed by a Semrush study (1000% worth checking out): https://bit.ly/4jpU9RK

→ Google still drives traffic for 93%, but its monopoly is fading
→ LinkedIn, email, and direct are growing as brand-led channels
→ 57% report declining organic traffic. Only 26% see any revenue impact
→ AI-driven visitors are 4.4× more likely to convert than classic organic traffic

So this isn’t a traffic collapse.
It’s a click collapse.

How to measure content marketing in 2026:
→ Growth in branded search
→ Online visibility BEYOND Google
→ Brand mentions and citations in AI answers
→ Assisted conversions from AI, social, and communities
→ Performance of homepage, pricing, and comparison pages

If your board still asks for traffic, your job this year is to teach them what actually drives revenue.

❓Why are you still measuring your content with clicks❓

I don’t think people realize how often you have to repeat the same thing [over and over and over] to grow...anything really.

We’ve grown The Workflow to 1,100+ subscribers with 6 issues live, and no, it didn’t happen because of one viral post. It happened because we kept repeating ourselves constantly.

⇒ I post about it 1–2 times a week.
⇒ Guests post about it on their accounts.
⇒ Diandra posts about it 1–2 times a week.
⇒ We post 4× a week on our LinkedIn company page.
⇒ I shamelessly plug it in interviews, articles, and websites.
⇒ I pitched it at Christmas dinner to my parents and my cousin.
⇒ The link to subscribe is in our bios, headers, featured sections.

Every post brings a few familiar names from our 85K+ LinkedIn followers onto the list. And not because they didn't get the memo before.

First time? Ignored.
Second? “Already subscribed to enough stuff.”
Third? “Looks good, but I already follow them on LinkedIn.”
Fourth? Clicked. Subscribed. BAM.

Another example:
Only ~20% of readers click on newsletter links.
Which is a sin, considering we drop custom templates and prompts in every issue.

Last week, we repackaged 3 months of prompts into our first Prompt Vault [proof: https://lnkd.in/d3wxEFZQ].
Same content. New format. CTR? 40% (!)

It’s not black magic. It’s saying the same thing 50 times without sounding like a sleazy car saleswoman.

If it’s worth hearing, it’s worth repeating.
...but make it worth hearing first!

Are you still talking about demand generation? Soooo 2021.
2026 is about demand MANIFESTATION 

Here’s how it works:

🕯️  Light some incense
🧘‍♀️ Grab your yoga mat
💎 Wodo-wodo your crystals
💰 and simply manifest the pipeline you want to close this quarter.

Repeat “I’m a lead magnet” three times, and your chances of achieving that will go up by 90%. 

I tested this ritual to manifest being in the same video with some of my favorites [Diandra, Rolf, Nike, Tycho, and Steven].

Here's the proof it REALLY works.
