UK Copywriters Directory - Content marketing

  • PRO
    As a UX copywriter, offering web copywriting services, I write words that resonate with your ideal client in a way that makes sense to them so that hitting that “book now” or “sign up” button is natural. Expect a research-based strategy-focused approach, and a lot of chat about how words and design go hand-in-hand for a high quality user experience. Choose from full done-for-you website copywriting and blog writing services or budget friendly support options for those who wish to DIY. A typical website copy project includes: • In-depth research of your business – copy project kick-off questionnaire, 4 x 15 mins voice of customer interviews, competitor analysis, brand voice development. • UX website strategy – guidance on what pages are needed, what the flow of each page and the entire website should look like, and what key information is needed and where. • SEO keyword research and on-page optimisation – to help people find you on Google. • Research summary – delivered at projection completion to help you in shaping your marketing strategy (you’ll have ready-to-use snippets of copy to use in social media captions). • 6 pages of website copy – e.g. Home, About, 1-3 Services pages, Contact, Portfolio (strategy stage will determine the exact needs for your business). • SEO optimised title tags and meta descriptions – to help people click through to you in the search results. • Fully formatted copy wireframe to guide your website designer with design and layout for each page – you’ll get clear information about where headings, lists, buttons etc go. • One page mocked up as a web page (PDF) – to allow you to see the flow of information and visualise how the words can come to life on your website. • Support to help you provide me with effective feedback – you’ll get detailed notes to help you understand the wireframed copy, a support document with examples of ‘copy in design’, and a guided ‘walk through’ call of the copy after the first draft is written. • 2 rounds of amendments – to ensure you are 100% happy. • Support during the website build / design stage – I’ll liaise with your website designer so that they can speak to me if there are queries or if tweaks are needed during the website build and copy input process. I’ll review your site from a UX perspective before it goes live. Check out examples of work: https://wordcraftservices.co.uk/portfolio/

    Well-written copy is invaluable. It builds brand awareness and trust, communicates your story, and compels the reader to take action. Copy makes the difference in visiting a website; clicking an ad or scrolling past; liking, sharing, engaging and following; making a call or sending an email; a decision to purchase there and then. When it comes to digital and content marketing, copywriters don’t just need to be great writers. They also need to understand SEO, link building, and the user journey. For businesses without the necessary in-house expertise or resources, getting this right can be a hard slog. It doesn't have to be. I'll take the time to understand your business and what you need. Then we can get to work - creating copy and content that speaks to your customers.

    People need you - let’s not waste words. You’ve got fifty-five words to make people stay. You’ll need the exact search terms people use to look for you. That leaves about fifty words to say what you do. Using language that sounds like you and your brand. While tickling their subconscious psychological needs. Oh, and make it entertaining, too. Want some help? I’ve been writing professionally since 2016. I wrote content for personal finance blogs, then progressed into copywriting for a wide variety of clients and agencies. If you poked me with sticks, I’d probably admit a preference for working with ethical businesses and social enterprises. But I love to learn how things work, and I get a real kick from immersing myself in the fine details of different industries and disciplines. The bulk of my work this year has been for universities and HE providers, including University College London and the digital learning platform Coursera. I deliver: • Thumb-stopping website copy and article content • Extensive topic and industry research • Tone-Of-Voice Audio Recording Analysis, to help founders and entrepreneurs develop an authentic written persona Get in touch, and let’s get it written up the way you need. Email dan@magnifycopy.co.uk, or call me on 07927389370.
