How to build a content proposal

One page is ideal. Two maximum. Clarity, not comprehensiveness.

1. The situation

Where the client is now. Current traffic, rankings, content volume. Frame the gap.

2. The opportunity

What is possible. Reference competitor performance or your own case studies.

3. The plan

What you deliver each month: keyword research, X posts published, optimization, reporting.

4. The investment

"Investment: $3,000/month. 6-month minimum commitment."

5. Next steps

"If this looks right, I will send the agreement and we can start publishing next week."

Pro tip: Send the proposal within 1 hour of the pitch call. Momentum matters.
