Details

ContractComplete is a mid-stage startup with a number of existing customers. We are looking to scale our business and obtain more qualified sales leads by providing high quality blog posts to generate interest.

Our clients are companies in the land development, civil engineering, and landscape architecture industries, so blog posts should be relevant or useful to individuals in those industries. Blog post topics should not be 100% about our product (people don't want to read an ad for our product), rather should be on related topics of interest and ideally increase interest in our product in a peripheral way.
