Cordwainer currently has no blog on their website. This is a significant gap given that local, low-difficulty keywords in the memory care space are readily rankable. The content strategy is designed to build topical authority quickly, capture local search intent, and drive qualified tour inquiries from private-pay families on Boston's South Shore.
This plan was established during the internal pre-kickoff sync on 2026-04-05. See [1] for full client context.
| Phase | Volume | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | 4 posts | Establish baseline content presence; seed local keyword coverage |
| Month 2+ | 2 posts/month | Sustain organic growth and keyword expansion |
The accelerated first month is intentional — the site has zero blog content today, so there is no SEO foundation to build on. Getting 4 posts live quickly seeds Google's index and begins accumulating ranking signals before the client expects to see results.
Content should be written for private-pay families — adult children and spouses making placement decisions for a loved one with memory loss. These are high-income households in the South Shore / Greater Boston area. Medicare/Medicaid audiences should not be targeted, as Cordwainer is private-pay only.

sundowning — already ranking; high volume (2,000/mo) but global. Useful for awareness-stage content, not conversion.respite care Massachusetts — low volume, low difficulty; worth a postwhat is memory care — educational, drives top-of-funnel trafficsigns a parent needs memory care — high-intent for family decision-makersTerms to avoid or use carefully:
assisted living — Cordwainer does not offer this service; ranking for it generates unqualified traffic. Do not build content around it. (Note: it's acceptable to briefly clarify the distinction in a post, but don't optimize for it.)nursing home — same issueAhrefs shows Cordwainer currently ranking for some irrelevant or non-converting terms (e.g., "assisted living South Shore" with only 40 searches/mo, global informational terms). The previous agency likely optimized for traffic volume rather than local intent. Our content should correct this by anchoring every post to a geographic modifier and a memory-care-specific topic.
These posts should target someone actively researching placement options. Include location, facility differentiators, and a clear CTA to schedule a tour.
