Content marketing
AI content marketing for Australian small businesses
iStories writes content for Australian small businesses: blog posts, long-form articles, website copy, video scripts and email. AI does the keyword research, the outlining and the first draft. A person adds the expertise, checks the facts and makes it worth reading.
Why most content programs stall
Content marketing works on volume and consistency, and both get expensive when every article has to be written from scratch. So the program starts well, slows down, and stops.
Drafting with AI changes the economics enough to keep a weekly cadence. What it doesn’t change is that thin, unedited AI content ranks badly and reads worse. The value is in what a person adds after the draft exists.
What you get
Keyword and topic strategy
AI tools do the search-trend analysis and surface the questions your buyers are actually typing. We pick the ones you have a genuine chance of ranking for and something real to say about, rather than chasing volume.
Faster first drafts
An outline and structured first draft in minutes rather than days, with research gathered as it goes. That’s the part AI is genuinely good at.
Editing that adds the expertise
Every draft is edited for accuracy, originality and voice, with claims checked before publication. This is where the article becomes something a reader gets value from.
Content built to be quoted
Articles are structured so search engines and AI assistants can both find the answer: a direct answer up front, questions as headings, and clear attribution.
How it works
- Brief. Target reader, key messages, the point the piece has to make.
- Draft. AI-assisted research, outline and first draft.
- Edit. Fact-checking, expertise, voice and SEO, by a person.
- Publish and measure. Rankings, traffic and what converted.
Who it’s for
A good fit if
- You’re a small business with expertise worth sharing, and no time to write it up.
- You want to be found in Google and quoted in AI answers for the questions your customers ask.
- You’d rather publish fewer, better pieces than flood your blog.
Probably not the right fit if
- You want high volumes of unedited AI content.
- You need content live this week with no brief.
- Your budget is under $2,000 a month. AI-Stories’ Content Studio is $19 + GST a campaign.
What it costs
Content marketing starts from $2,000 a month. Content Nexus, the ongoing content and social media retainer, starts at that figure too. You’ll get a quote after a short brief, before any work starts.
If you’d rather write your own, AI-Stories’ Content Studio is $19 + GST a campaign.
Common questions
Is the content written entirely by AI?
No. AI handles research, outlining and the first draft. Everything published is edited, fact-checked and reworked by a person. We don’t ship unedited AI output, partly because it ranks poorly and mostly because it isn’t good.
Can you match our tone of voice?
Yes. We work from your existing content and brand guidelines, and the editing pass is where voice gets enforced.
What kinds of content do you create?
Blog posts, long-form articles, website copy, video scripts and email newsletters, all with search in mind.
How do you handle accuracy?
Claims, statistics and sources get checked before publication. AI invents plausible-sounding references, so anything cited is verified against the source rather than trusted.
How much does content marketing cost for a small business?
At iStories, content marketing starts from $2,000 a month, quoted on scope after a short brief. If that’s more than you can spend, AI-Stories’ Content Studio gives you an AI content team for $19 + GST a campaign.
Will this help us show up in ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers?
It’s written to. Articles lead with a direct answer, use the questions people ask as headings and attribute their sources clearly, which is what search engines and AI assistants look for when choosing what to quote.
