Short version A branded-content studio working with Philippine businesses: blog articles that rank, social that sounds like you, and design that does not look like a template. English, Tagalog, or the Taglish your customers actually use. Engagements start at ₱5,000 a month, published on this page rather than hidden behind a call. Every one starts with a free audit.

Most agencies here will not tell you the price

Ask five Manila agencies what content marketing costs and four will book a discovery call first. It is a reasonable business tactic and a tiring experience for someone who just wants to know whether they can afford it this quarter.

So: ₱5,000 a month for our entry tier, a founding rate held for a new client's first three months. That covers three to four branded articles, keyword and topic research, on-page SEO, AI-search formatting, and a blog page designed to match your brand. Everything above that is scoped after the audit, and we will send numbers by email if you ask. No tier sits behind a sales call.

Writing that sounds like a Filipino business

A lot of content written for the Philippine market reads like it was translated from an American template, because it was. It uses vocabulary nobody in the office uses, addresses a customer who does not exist here, and lands somewhere between stiff and slightly foreign.

We write the way your customers talk. Sometimes that is straight English, because your buyer is a procurement lead at a multinational in BGC. Sometimes it is Taglish, because your buyer is a small business owner in Quezon City and the formal register would put a wall between you. Usually it is a judgement call per piece, which is why a human makes it.

a real example ✎

"We are thrilled to announce our synergistic, end-to-end coffee solutions" versus "Small batches, roasted every Tuesday in Quezon City. In your café by Thursday." The second ranks better, converts better, and can be quoted by an AI assistant. It is also the only one a person would read twice.

What you get

Content

  • Three to four branded articles a month
  • Keyword and topic research for PH search behaviour
  • On-page SEO: structure, meta, links, schema
  • Formatted so AI assistants can quote it

Design and voice

  • A blog page styled to your brand, not a default theme
  • Custom visuals rather than stock photography
  • Voice matched to your market and register
  • Bilingual adaptation on any tier

How an engagement runs

  1. Free auditSend your website or socials. Within a week you get your own homepage back with our edits drawn on it, plus a read on your Google visibility, what AI assistants say about you, and whether your content sounds like anyone in particular.
  2. Scope and priceWe tell you which tier fits and what it costs. If the fixes are things you can do yourself, we say that too. Some people take the audit and leave, which is a fair outcome.
  3. Strategy before wordsWho you are talking to, what they search, what you sound like. Short, written down, agreed before anything ships.
  4. Publish and iterateArticles go out on a set cadence. We check performance monthly and adjust topics based on what is actually landing.
₱5,000 / month

Founding rate for new clients, held for your first three months. Month to month after the first cycle, no lock-in clause. Higher tiers add brand strategy and social, then website and technical SEO, then paid ads.

that is the whole number, no setup fee ✎

Who we work with

Small and mid-sized businesses that need to start showing up: D2C brands, professional services, B2B suppliers, clinics, studios, anyone whose buyers research before they commit. The entry tier suits a business that has never done content properly. The higher tiers suit brands with traction that want the whole presence handled.

We are a small studio, which is the trade-off. You get a strategist and a designer on your account rather than a junior working from a template, and we take fewer clients than a large agency would.

Common questions

How much does content marketing cost in the Philippines?
Our entry tier is 5,000 pesos a month, a founding rate held for a new client's first three months. Across the wider market you will see anything from a few thousand pesos for a freelancer to six figures monthly for a large agency retainer. What moves the price is volume, whether design is included, whether strategy is included, and whether a senior person touches the work.
Do you write in Tagalog?
Oo naman. English, Tagalog, and the Taglish in between, matched to how your customers actually talk. Which register we use is a judgement call per piece, and bilingual adaptation is available on every tier.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Engagements run month to month after the first cycle. Content and SEO compound over time, so we would rather earn the renewal with results than hold you to a clause.
What does the free audit include?
Your own homepage sent back with our edits drawn onto it, plus a one-page read covering where you rank for searches that should be yours, what AI assistants say when asked about your category, whether your content looks and sounds like you, and the three fixes we would make first. No call required and no obligation.
How long until we see results?
Content and SEO are slow at the start. Expect little for the first six to eight weeks, early movement on long-tail searches around month three, and meaningful enquiry flow closer to month five or six. Anyone quoting faster is either lucky or not being straight with you.
Do you work with businesses outside Metro Manila?
Yes. We work remotely across the Philippines and most of our communication is async. Location affects the keywords we target and the market context, not whether we can work together.
