Draft.dev creates a wide range of content focused on helping technical buyers evaluate, adopt, and grow with your product. This includes blog posts and tutorials, comparison pages, landing pages and onboarding content, technical product guides and use case deep-dives, thought leadership pieces, lead magnets and gated assets, content refreshes and SEO-optimized pages, and more. Content formats and tone are tailored based on goals, audience, and funnel stage. ## Who writes the content? Are they technical enough? All content is created by Draft.dev's network of 300+ vetted engineer-writers and reviewed by subject matter experts and editors. Draft.dev also uses AI to speed up research and drafts, but every piece is reviewed by real developers and edited by professional technical editors to ensure accuracy, clarity, and value for the audience. ## How quickly can Draft.dev start delivering content? First pieces are published within 3 weeks of kickoff. The first 1–2 weeks are spent aligning on goals, messaging, and the content roadmap. After that, Draft.dev targets a consistent weekly publishing cadence, with 2x weekly publishing as the first core discipline of a successful content operation. ## How much internal lift is required? Draft.dev is built to minimize internal lift. Clients typically need to attend a kickoff call, review and approve a quarterly roadmap, and provide occasional feedback on draft content. Draft.dev handles the rest, including full CMS publishing, distribution, and social media asset creation. ## What is the minimum engagement? Three-month minimum engagement. Delivery starts after an initial planning period. Retainers and custom offers are available upon request. Many clients start small as a test, adding in paid growth options over time. ## How does Draft.dev measure success? Success depends on goals, but Draft.dev typically tracks traffic to key content, lead magnet downloads, demo or trial signups from content, engagement via newsletters, shares, or backlinks, and movement of content-informed leads down the funnel. Monthly analytics check-ins evaluate what's working and adjust the roadmap accordingly.
