About the Client

Our client is a high-speed VPN service trusted by over 48 million users worldwide. It offers secure internet access with servers spanning more than 60 countries.

For a B2C product like this, traffic isn’t just a vanity metric. Traffic = revenue. So the faster you can produce content, the faster you can grow. The catch? Scaling content usually means adding writers, editors, and managers… unless you build a smarter system instead.

That’s exactly what we did.

The Challenge

Building a full-scale content machine

Our collaboration with this client started back in 2022, when Zmist & Copy (formerly Kaiiax) helped the company build a content strategy, workflow, and a way to make sure every piece of content met top-notch standards, all while managing a demanding production schedule. The company grew from 10K to 180K organic traffic and doubled sales from their website. 

From January to September 2025, we boosted VeePN’s content output from 20 to 80 publications per month (a 4× increase) — all with the same two writers and the same budget.

And as production scaled, results scaled with it:

  • Organic traffic grew from ~98K to 370K monthly users
  • Website purchases increased from 3.2K → 8.7K per month
  • Conversions from blog more than doubled

The Solution

Custom GPTs for content production

We developed internal AI chatbots that support writers at every stage — from writing a draft to self-editing. The chatbots contain knowledge about the product, its value proposition and differentiators, and allow writers to create on-brand content fast.

Knowledge base & SOPs

In addition to the GPTs, we also developed a knowledge base & SOPs – a comprehensive internal guide for writers on how to write with ChatGPT. It includes:

  • Recommended AI tools and workflows
  • Types of articles best suited for AI acceleration
  • Approach for writing a draft
  • Prompts for promoting the product
  • CTA placement guidelines and optimization tips

We asked our client's writers to evaluate the AI chatbot and our GPT writing guide. Their feedback:

We use this GPT bot all the time. It does speed your writing considerably and without serious quality flaws. On top of that, the bot "remembers" all the key features and strength of the product, so we don't have to give the context for the pitch text every single new blog article. Also, the bot helps writing landing pages, so it always has a job to do and it does it well!

Yevhen

“To speak frankly, I didn't have any systematic knowledge of prompting AI to write content before. I just tried to provide clear and straightforward requests. The guide helped to structure the process of brainstorming the outline and iterating the drafts. It helped me come up with stronger article drafts and speed up writing process.”

Perfectly-tuned content operations

Content calendar

Based on our content strategy, we develop a monthly content calendar that outlines the topics to cover, sets publishing deadlines, and prioritizes tasks.

“They managed the project very well, delivering everything on time and being highly responsive to our needs. For example, they quickly adapt to market changes—when a news event impacted our niche, the team reacted promptly and created content on the same day.“ – Head Of Product

Content workflow

Our content workflow includes such stages as

Direction → SEO requirements → Scheduled → Writing → In review → Illustrations → SEO control → Ready for publishing → Published

We use tools like Jira to organize tasks, assign roles, track progress, and manage deadlines. We also keep an eye on how much time the team spends on different tasks, like creating new content or making updates, so we can spot any inefficiencies and improve productivity.

Content directions

We produce about 80 new pieces of content each month. Each piece comes with a detailed brief that outlines the key messages, goals, ideas, and references. These briefs help writers speed up the research process, explain how the product fits in, and offer creative ideas to make each article stand out.

Content editing

As writers draft articles based on the provided guidelines, our editor fine-tunes the content to ensure it meets quality standards, matches the brand voice, and resonates with the target audience. 

Content performance analysis

Each month, we create detailed content reports to track our progress, including metrics like total transactions, blog-driven purchases, published articles, top-performing pieces, and organic growth. By analyzing the performance of existing content, we refine our strategy and identify articles that need optimization.

The Result

Going from 98K to 370K in organic traffic

When we started working with the VPN provider in 2022, their blog’s organic traffic stood at about 10,000 monthly visitors. Fast forward to 2025, and that number has grown to an impressive 370,000 monthly visitors, with major growth happening in 2025. With a great team and operations in place, our client can now produce content at scale without sacrificing quality.

Our takeaway

While others argue whether “AI content works” or “Will AI replace writers?” we made it work (because AI didn’t replace writers; it empowered them). Scaling isn’t about hiring more hands. It’s about better systems. VeePN achieved its highest-ever traffic and conversions, proving that with the right workflow, automation + human expertise can multiply results.
