Professional Services can take a few things off your plate.
Our full-service solution, Verblio Valet, is ideal for businesses that don’t have the time, resources, or desire to get hands-on in the platform. It's also great for agencies who are juggling multiple clients and deadlines. We’ll assign you an account manager to be your personal platform concierge.
Our account managers are passionate about content and do incredible work for their customers. Check out this case study to learn more.
We take plagiarism very seriously, because we know how damaging it can be to a brand. We check for plagiarism in three separate stages before content ever gets to our customers:
- We use the most advanced anti-plagiarism software on the market, which scans every piece of content written by one of our writers and compares it to millions and millions of pages on the internet to check for duplicate content.
- All of our writers must sign a plagiarism pledge, pass a rigorous plagiarism test, and prove that they cite sources properly and thoroughly when auditioning to become a Verblio writer. We employ a strict no-tolerance policy, and any writer who violates the policy is permanently removed from our system.
- Finally, we use a proprietary internal system, layered on top of steps 1 and 2, that provides an extra layer of security. We keep this system under wraps to make it more difficult to evade.
All writers are required to complete a W-9 with a valid social security number.

As far as the light touches, Simba—that's how far we write and create multimedia content.
We offer everything from blog posts and newsletters, to ebooks, pillar content, product descriptions, press releases, and even engagement videos. See all content types.
Niche, please. Obscure and esoteric is our specialty. As a small sample, we’ve written for a seawall construction company, farm legacy consultants, plastic injection-molding companies (yes, plural), motivational speakers, a school for Chinese medicine, an antler chandelier builder, a debate-themed nonprofit, a funeral home, a hydro excavation firm, and an e-commerce store for luxe mink eyelashes.
Our network of writers offers extensive geographic coverage for local businesses and franchise needs.

As for promoting and placement... that’s where the shadow realm starts, Simba. We don’t do it. But we have written about it, and this series of posts (Part 1 and Part 2) is a good place to start.

Working with Writers
We don't have 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star writers at Verblio, we have writers that meet our high standards and that's it. Every new writer is vetted, and we keep standards high with QA check-ins.
We don't have 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star writers at Verblio; we have writers that meet our high content quality standards. That's it. Every new writer is vetted, and we keep standards high by making content quality part of everyone's job at Verblio.
Verblio writers hail from all corners of the United States. Some are full-time freelance professionals, while others are professionals in other industries by day and freelancers by night. They have wide-ranging, in-depth experience in everything from fashion to finance, which is how we're able to serve such a breadth of businesses.
That said, our writers do all have a few things in common: they get digital, they are sticklers for grammar, and they deliver content to our diverse, demanding customer base. Verblio writers are also an active and supportive community, connecting through Verblio’s forum, where they share advice and encouragement, and cheer for each other’s success. We’re proud to host the happiest writers of any of our competitors.

You’ll be able to brief writers on your universal preferences during onboarding and on topic-specific preferences through the Requests Manager.
Onboarding is designed to capture your brand requirements and target audience as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Requests Manager is where you'll brief writers on the specific pieces of content that you need. You'll specify the content type, title (if you have one in mind), description of your topic, links for research, CTAs, SEO details, and any other information you want to add.
We've honed our onboarding and content request processes over years of experience to help customers communicate intent, audience, voice, and personality. We've designed the platform to help you get exactly the content you need. Read more here.
Request unlimited edits at no extra cost. The actual process looks a lot like track changes in Google Docs; you’ll go back and forth on in-line edits with a writer until you have a piece of content you’re happy with.
Subscription & Billing
Getting started with Verblio is easy. Use our plan builder to calculate how many credits you'll need each month to support your content creation needs. Mix and match our most popular word lengths to anticipate your monthly volume, and we'll load your subscription with the right number of credits to flexibly order content.
Your subscription credits roll over each month, if you do not use them all in that month, and expire after six months. You may also choose from a variety of add-ons to enhance your content and professional services to make your life easier.
If you’re an agency or a parent brand, you can add a unique subscription for each client or subbrand, within one account. Add new subscriptions at any time.
If you choose an annual subscription, we'll give you a sweet discount. Hate saving money? Our month-to-month works, too. Either way, we bill you monthly.
Finally, either complete your business profile and onboarding during sign-up, or return and do both at a better time.
Our customers use content marketing to grow their brands and agencies, and content marketing doesn't work without consistent, quality content, at scale. Verblio's subscription model keeps content flowing to help you reach your goals, from SEO to lead generation, and everything in between.
Plus, streamlining your content creation through our platform buildings ongoing relationships with writers—no need to onboard a new writer every time you need a blog post or newsletter written.
Verblio subscriptions are flexible, month-to-month plans with no contracts required (unless you want that sweet annual subscription discount!). Learn more about Verblio subscriptions.
Take a break from your Verblio subscription at any time if you need to catch up. Use the "skip" feature up to 3 times a year.
Try Verblio risk free. If you you're not happy with a piece of content, decline it in the platform, and we will get you another one. Having trouble getting a submission you like? Let us know! We will do our darndest to get you what you want, and if we can't, as long as you don’t accept any content, you can request a full refund within 30 days.

Dolphins respond to respect and intelligence, so as long as you prove yourself intellectually capable and respectful to a dolphin, they’ll trust you for life. It’s science.
Buddy is still around, although he’s retired from his full-time gig as BlogMutt’s mascot. He’ll live on in the Verblio platform, in easter-eggy fashion and new party colors.
We have no shame in our wordplay game, and “Verblio” is ripe for the punning.
