Fractional Content & SEO Leadership for B2B

Most B2B content
doesn't get read.
Let's fix that.

I'm Shalini — a content and SEO strategist with 15 years of experience helping B2B SaaS companies turn their blogs into lead engines, their teams into storytellers, and their strategy into something that actually ships.

A little about me

Strategy first.
Stories that stick.

I started out writing SEO-optimised content for SaaS startups and quickly realised that the real problem wasn't the writing — it was the strategy behind it. Businesses were churning out content without a clear plan for who they were writing for, what they wanted readers to do, or how any of it connected to revenue.

Over 15 years, I've worked my way from writer to Head of Content to Director of Content & SEO — building teams, owning roadmaps, and partnering closely with founders and CMOs to make content a genuine growth channel.

Now I bring that same senior thinking to B2B companies on a fractional or consulting basis — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

How I can help

Pick the engagement
that fits your stage

Whether you need someone to own the whole content function or just a sharp second opinion, there's a way to work together that makes sense for where you are right now.

Fractional Head of Content

You need senior content leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire. I plug in as your Head of Content — owning strategy, managing writers, and making sure every piece ties back to pipeline.

Fractional Director of Content & SEO

A full-function engagement where I lead both content and organic search — aligning your keyword strategy, content calendar, and distribution to build compounding traffic that converts.

Consultant & Reviewer

Your team is doing the work, but you need a senior eye on it. I review your content and SEO output, sharpen what's already there, and make sure everything you publish is working as hard as it should.

How I work

No fluff. No guessing.
Just a clear plan.

1

Discovery call

We start with a 30-minute conversation to understand where you are, what's not working, and what success looks like for you. No prep needed — just come as you are.

2

Audit & diagnosis

I take a close look at what you've got — your content, your SEO, your team's workflow — and identify the gaps between where you are and where you want to be.

3

Strategy & roadmap

You get a clear, prioritised plan: what to build, what to fix, what to stop doing, and in what order. Tied to your business goals, not a generic content checklist.

4

Execution & iteration

Depending on the engagement, I either run the work myself, manage your team, or guide you through it — with regular check-ins and clear metrics to track what's moving.

strategy meets consistency

Here's a look at some of the work — the challenges, the approach, and the numbers that followed.

Data Governance · B2B SaaS

The challenge

This client operates in the data governance space — data catalogs, metadata management — where competition is high and buyer education is a long game. They had a strong product, but their organic presence didn't reflect it. Content existed, but wasn't structured to build authority. Key category terms had limited visibility, and there was a clear gap in how content mapped to search intent for users comparing or evaluating tools.

What we did

  • Ran weekly discovery sessions and product walkthroughs to deeply understand the platform, its use cases, and the competitive landscape
  • Built a consistent content engine producing ~40 SEO-focused blogs per month, each tied to a specific keyword and intent
  • Organised content into topic clusters around data governance, data catalogs, and metadata management — with supporting pieces covering definitions, frameworks, comparisons, and use cases
  • Structured every piece for featured snippets and AI-generated results, alongside traditional SERP performance
  • Connected content to the product through internal linking and contextual CTAs
  • Set up custom dashboards and HubSpot reporting to track keyword growth, content performance, and emerging LLM referral signals

The results (Oct 2025 – Feb 2026)

  • Clicks grew from 2.13K to 8.2K; impressions from 715K to 15M
  • Average ranking position improved from 16.2 to 7.9
  • Organic users grew from 2.7K to 3.2K (18.6% increase); organic sessions reached 5.2K
  • "Open source data catalog tools" reached 3.1M+ impressions; "data collection techniques" hit 182K+
  • LLM referral traffic grew 25.9% month-over-month; ChatGPT contributed 172 sessions in a single month
Sales Compensation · B2B SaaS

Growing domain authority and top-3 keyword rankings for a sales compensation platform

DR up from 41 to 51. Keywords in Top 3 up from 155 to 436. Daily traffic nearly doubled. Referral domains grew from 400 to 1,500.

The challenge

This B2B sales compensation platform was operating in a competitive category where established players dominated organic search. Despite having a differentiated product, they lacked the domain authority and content depth needed to rank for high-intent keywords that drive pipeline.

What we did

  • Built a targeted content and SEO strategy around high-intent sales compensation and commission management keywords
  • Developed topic clusters covering every stage of the buyer journey — from education and comparison to evaluation
  • Executed a structured link-building programme that grew referring domains from 400 to 1,500
  • Optimised existing content for featured snippets and strengthened internal linking to distribute authority across the site

The results

  • Domain Rating improved from 41 to 51 — a meaningful jump in a competitive space
  • Keywords ranking in the Top 3 grew from 155 to 436
  • Daily traffic nearly doubled, from 225 to ~550 sessions
  • Referring domains grew nearly 4× — from 400 to 1,500

I've had the opportunity to work with Shalini when she started editing my online blogs and guides for Vizified.com. She is very professional and has great relationship-building skills. Her executional skills are pretty good too since she completed all my edits on time, every time. She has an enthusiastic approach to her work and knows how to get stuff done, on time, and on budget!
