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:

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.
