No trick-y marketing,
just the right content strategy 

SARA VORDERMEIER · HAMBURG

I help brands connect meaningfully with their English-speaking customers, with content that helps close deals through search engines and AI responses. And I’ve been doing this for almost a decade.

Marketing your product is hard

… You’re being told you can scale your business and marketing operations with just Claude or ChatGPT, but you’re not convinced t will bring you closer to high-intent customers. You don’t feel like you’re differentiating yourself enough from competitors.

 

It’s true that your target customers consume online content but do always connect with it anymore. And I’ve seen businesses react to this trend by a) churning out AI slop, b) relying heavily on word-ofmouth or c) completely deprioritising new, quality content.

You don’t need the latest AI shortcuts or SEO/AEO/GEO tricks to deliver powerful content that performs. You don’t need an established brand or marketing team. You just need to know your product and customer profile better than anyone else.

A full-time advocate for quality content

I’m a full-time content and search strategist for Uberall, a global location marketing platform.

 

What I do doesn’t feel like content marketing or “blogging”; it feels like collaborating with teams who want to go to market and attract new business in a strategic way.

Content strategy
& ops

I speak to product marketers, sales reps and business owners to understand the fundamentals of their product, service or brand. These conversations help me create a highly targeted, hands-on content strategy for traditional and AI search.

 

This involves addressing thin content, helpfulness or content cluster gaps and brand positioning.

Product-led copywriting & SEO

Every single word should earn customer trust. No fillers, no fluff, no AI slop.

 

I optimise content for Google and for brands to appear across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Copy needs to give customers every excuse to connect with a brand, regardless of whether they visit the actual website.

Human editing

Artificial intelligence is magical, but it’s not replacing authentic intelligence (E-E-A-T).

 

AI is flattening how all brands differentiate themselves. That might work fine for some corporations, but creative brands in saturated markets close deals on trust and personalisation I type that human tone of voice back into your brand content.

Frequently asked

What does an SEO content strategist do?

An SEO content strategist combines the work of someone who specialises in brand storytelling and optimising those stories for search experiences – whether that’s Google or ChatGPT or social media. My job is to figure out what an audience is actually searching for, what their pain points and objectives are, and then build a long-term, strategic content plan (comprising website copy, newsletter, articles, etc.) that meets them there and moves them to act. 

What’s the difference between a copywriter and a content strategist?

A copywriter writes. A good copywriter writes to drive human action. A good content strategist decides what gets written, why and whether it’s working. The two often overlap – good strategy is useless without good words, and good copy without a long-term strategy behind it is just … well … words that may not reach their intended audience. That’s why working with someone who does both tends to produce better results.

Do I need a native English copywriter if my business is based in Germany?

If your customers, investors or partners are English-speaking, then yes – English content matters. Technically correct English and genuinely natural, compelling English are two very different things, and native speakers notice the gap quickly. For businesses reaching international audiences, it's worth investing in English copy that actually sounds like it was written by someone who speaks the language. There’s also growing evidence that English content improves visibility in AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

Do you write content in both English and German?

English is my native language and the language I do my best work in. That said, I’m based in Hamburg and work primarily with international brands, so I’ve regularly contributed to German-language projects – articles, newsletters, case studies and content strategy – and I’m confident working across both. If a project calls for German output, I'm happy to discuss scope and whether additional review makes sense for your audience.

Do you use AI to carry out your work?

AI is part of my toolkit to complement customer research, proofread my final – _FINAL.docx – draft and streamline parts of the publishing process (no one needs to be copy-pasting every field into their CMS). But the strategy, deeper research, editorial judgement and writing itself come from my very human, very opinionated self. I've been doing this long enough to know that good copy isn’t about generating words quickly; it's about knowing which words to keep. En dashes were cool before AI overused them.
