Media Company Streamlines Content Workflow
How we helped a digital media publisher transform their content management system to accelerate publishing, improve SEO, and boost reader engagement.
Faster Publishing
More Organic Traffic
Higher Engagement
The Challenge
Our client, a growing digital media company with multiple publications, was struggling with an outdated content management system that was hindering their growth and causing:
- Lengthy content publishing cycles requiring 12+ steps
- Poor SEO capabilities with limited metadata control
- Disconnected analytics requiring manual reporting
- Inability to efficiently manage content across multiple publications
With plans to expand their content output by 3x, they needed a solution that would streamline workflows, improve SEO, and provide better insights into content performance.
Our Solution
We developed a custom content management system tailored to their specific editorial workflow:
Intuitive Content Editor
Built a modern WYSIWYG editor with drag-and-drop components, real-time collaboration, and content versioning to simplify the creation process.
Workflow Automation
Implemented customizable editorial workflows with automated notifications, approval processes, and scheduling capabilities.
SEO Optimization Tools
Created built-in SEO analysis with keyword suggestions, readability scoring, and structured data implementation for better search visibility.
Integrated Analytics
Developed a comprehensive analytics dashboard showing real-time content performance, reader engagement, and conversion metrics.
Key System Features
Our content creation tools were designed for speed and flexibility:
- Rich text editor with customizable content blocks
- AI-powered content suggestions and headline optimization
- Integrated image editor with automatic optimization
- Content templates for consistent formatting
Integration Capabilities
A key requirement was seamless integration with the client's existing tools and systems:
Adobe Creative Cloud
Google Analytics
Social Media APIs
Legacy CRM System

The new content management system transformed the client's publishing capabilities:

The custom CMS that Valcheq built has completely transformed how we create and publish content. Our editorial team can now focus on quality rather than wrestling with technology. The SEO tools have dramatically improved our search visibility, and the analytics dashboard gives us actionable insights that drive our content strategy. We've been able to triple our content output without adding headcount.
