Verblio basics

What is Verblio? Expand

Verblio is an online content creation platform. We're dedicated to creating high-powered content that drives SEO for digital agencies and businesses. Our network of 3,000 U.S.-based writers are subject matter experts in more than 40 unique industries.

Verblio enables writers to grow their career with the simplest, most flexible freelance gig out there. We believe quality writing comes from happy, motivated writers. We ask for excellence and support their success. Our online writers' forum is an active community and connection creates better content. We offer jobs from 300-3000 words across several different types of content. Become a writer.

What kinds of businesses do you create content for? Expand

We create content for marketing agencies and businesses across the U.S. and in 15 countries around the world. This includes enterprise businesses, large franchise businesses and companies in nearly every industry and vertical. See industries we serve.

On the agency side, we work with digital marketing agencies, content marketing agencies, ad agencies, SEO agencies, PR agencies, E-commerce agencies, full-service agencies and lean, bootstrapped agencies. Explore agency solutions.

I'm a huge agency and need a ton of content. Expand

We create thousands of pieces of content for agency customers and high-volume enterprise clients each month.

Check out this case study about how a leading SEO agency used us to make their content model profitable for the first time in 4 years.

What if I’m too busy to manage the platform myself? Expand

 Professional Services can take a few things off your plate.

Our full-service solution, Verblio Complete, 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 clients. Check out this case study to learn more.

How do you check for plagarism? Expand

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

content creation

What types of content do you create? Expand

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.

Can you write for my hyper-local and hyper-niche business? Expand

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.

If you’re still not convinced, check out this blog post, or request samples In your industry. 

Can you help me with publishing, promotion and placement? Expand

Publishing, yes. Promotion and placement, no.

We'll walk you through how to set up our free WordPress & HubSpot integrations as soon as you sign up, so you can send your content to either platform in one click.

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.

Can I see sample posts? Expand

Yes. Request a sample in your industry, or browse our archive of samples on the blog.

Working with Writers

What makes your writers better? Expand

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.

Who are Verblio writers? Expand

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.

How do I tell your writers what I want? Expand

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.

What is the editing process like? Expand

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

How do pricing and subscriptions work? Expand

First thing to know: We use the terms “account” and “plan” interchangeably.

Second thing to know: You can have more than 1 subscription on your account, and you can add new subscriptions at any time.

  • If you’re an agency with multiple clients, add a unique subscription for each client.
  • If you're looking for content at varied word lengths, add a subscription for each one.

Add optional services for each subscription, decide if you want to pay monthly or get a discount for paying yearly, then click a few more times and you're signed up.

You’ll have the option to fill in your business info and complete onboarding during sign-up, or you can return and complete it when you have more time.

Try our plan builder.

Why is Verblio a subscription service? Expand

Content marketing doesn't work without content, and the subscription model keeps content flowing and your efforts on track. This continuity also helps you build ongoing relationships with writers, so you won't 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. Learn more about the subscription model.

What if I need to skip a month of content? Expand

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.

What if I’m not happy and want a refund? Expand

Try Verblio risk free. If you you're not happy with the content, don't accept it in the platform. As long as you don’t accept any content, you can request a full refund within 30 days.

How do you tame dolphins? Expand

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.

Caroline Rideout, Head of Customer Success and Resident Dolphin Tamer

What happened to your cute dog? Expand

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.

What's with all the puns? Expand

We have no shame in our wordplay game, and “Verblio” is ripe for the punning.
