About Jacob J. Hess

I’m Jacob J. Hess, a Quad Cities content writer and strategist who helps businesses turn words into action. For over two decades I’ve been sharpening one skill above all others: helping brands tell stories that drive measurable results. Whether it’s a blog post that brings in new clients, a content strategy that lifts a local business above its competitors, or a full digital plan that makes the phone ring, I focus on the same outcome every time — measurable results. No fluff. No filler. Just content that works.

My journey didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with small businesses, side hustles, and local projects that needed someone to step in, figure it out, and make something happen. Over the years I’ve written thousands of pieces — from short blog posts and website copy to full frameworks that help founders and entrepreneurs grow. Along the way, I’ve built my own systems, tested them in the real world, and refined them until they consistently deliver.

Why Work with a Quad Cities Content Writer?

What makes me different is speed and structure. I don’t drag projects out or hide behind marketing jargon. When you order a $59 trial blog, you get 1,200 words of researched, SEO-structured content in less than 48 hours. When you step up to a bundle or monthly subscription, you know exactly what’s coming, when it’s coming, and what you’ll be able to do with it. I respect your time because I know what it’s like to run a business when every day matters.

I also bring the perspective of someone who lives where small businesses live. The Quad Cities aren’t Silicon Valley — they’re a blend of hard work, family-run shops, local service providers, and entrepreneurs carving out their space in a crowded market. That’s where I thrive. I know how much it means for a roofer to land three extra jobs in a month, or for a dentist to see their website start ranking higher for local searches. The wins don’t have to be flashy. They just have to be real.

Over time, I’ve built a toolkit that blends writing, SEO, and strategy into one streamlined process. Every piece I deliver includes on-page SEO best practices, schema markup, and a clear call to action. It’s not about chasing tricks or hacks — it’s about laying down content that will still perform six months or a year from now. That’s how I’ve earned long-term trust with clients who come back month after month. To see some examples of my work, check out my portfolio.

Beyond the business side, I’m also a creator at heart. I’ve written music, built digital tools, and invested in projects that give back to my community. Creativity and strategy go hand in hand — one fuels the other. I believe in bringing that same creative drive into every project I take on for my clients. The goal is never just to “fill space.” It’s to make an impact.

If you’re here, you’re probably weighing your options. You’ve seen the big agencies with high retainers and slow timelines. You’ve seen the marketplaces full of random freelancers with no process. I offer something in between: the reliability and structure of an agency, with the speed and directness of working one-on-one. That’s why I keep my services simple and transparent — so you know what you’re getting, what it costs, and how fast it’s delivered.

My promise is this: when you work with me, you won’t wonder if your project is in good hands. You’ll see the results in black and white. Whether you need a single trial blog to test the waters or a steady stream of content every month, I’ll help you put words to work for your business.
