# Quarra Stone Blog Content Pipeline

Overview of the blog content strategy, approved posts, e-guide status, and review workflow for [[wiki/clients/quarra-stone/_index|Quarra Stone]].

## Blog Posts

### Approved for Publication

These posts have been reviewed and cleared by Lincoln Durham:

| Title | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional vs. Digital Fabrication: Choosing the Right Approach for Custom Commercial Stonework | ✅ Approved | Edits made by Lincoln in Surfer; content score 95 (avg. 37) — strong keyword positioning expected |
| Evolution of Stone Carving: From Hand Tools to Precision Machines | ✅ Approved | No changes needed; Lincoln confirmed good to push |

### In Review

| Title | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Art Ideas: Inspiring Creations in Marble and Granite | 🔄 In Progress | Lincoln reviewing; will make edits in Google Sheets |
| Remaining September blog (4th post) | 🔄 Pending | Lincoln to complete review |

Lincoln confirmed there are four September blogs total. Two are approved; two remain.

## E-Guides

| Guide | Status |
|---|---|
| CNC / Digital Fabrication E-Guide | ✅ Finalized |
| Traditional Stonework E-Guide | 🔄 Near complete — Lincoln to send final content to Karly |
| Fine Arts E-Guide | ⏳ Pending approval |

## Content Review Process

The established workflow:

1. Asymmetric drafts blog content in **Surfer SEO**, then exports to **Google Sheets/Docs** for client review
2. Lincoln reviews in Google Sheets (preferred) or Surfer — Google Sheets preferred because Asymmetric runs a grammar/formatting pass after content edits
3. Lincoln makes any factual or brand-voice corrections directly in the doc, then notifies Karly when ready
4. Asymmetric publishes to the Quarra Stone website

**Key tension:** Lincoln acknowledged he is a bottleneck in the review process. His stated approach going forward is to avoid overthinking — if content is factually sound and doesn't misrepresent the company, approve and move on. He will flag specific language concerns rather than doing deep rewrites.

## SEO Context

Blog content directly supports two key metrics being tracked:

- **AI Citations** — FAQ sections in blogs are structured to capture Google AI Overview citations. Two citations added so far; this takes time to accumulate.
- **Organic keyword rankings** — Consistent publishing is the primary lever. Keyword count dipped temporarily due to a Google indexing event (not a content issue).

A Surfer content score of **95** on the "Traditional vs. Digital Fabrication" post (vs. industry average of 37, top competitor at 53) suggests strong ranking potential once published.

Lincoln noted that the stone industry is generally behind the curve on SEO and content marketing — this is a competitive advantage to press.

## Action Items

- [ ] Lincoln to send approved blogs (Traditional vs. Digital Fabrication, Evolution of Stone Carving) to Karly for publishing
- [ ] Lincoln to complete review of remaining two September blog posts in Google Sheets, notify Karly when done
- [ ] Lincoln to finalize and send Traditional E-Guide content to Karly
- [ ] Karly to publish approved posts and monitor ranking performance
