    Currently booking SEO & Copywriting projects for w/c 9th October 2023 SEO consultant and B2B copywriter offering Search Engine Optimisation and SEO copywriting services. This means that not only do I understand B2B copywriting, I understand how to make it sell to your customers and also do well in Google and other search engines. I started promoting businesses in 1992. I started promoting websites in 1994. Before the days of Google, when you could submit your website to a search engine, go have a cuppa, and come back to see where you were listed. Things have changed since then. SEO copywriting is now about more than just titles of blog posts and keywords on a page. A good SEO copywriter needs to know about keyword research, technical SEO, structuring a website, and more. SEO is still my first love, fickle mistress though she is, alongside the non-technical things that make it work: content writing, SEO copy, Social Media and blogging for business. I’ve optimised company websites for recruiters, other copywriters, psychometric assessment companies, telesales organisations, web design agencies and more. I’ve written SEO optimised copy for industries as far apart as factory flooring and hazardous area engineering. From app development companies to social media marketers. From scientific testing to toy manufacturing. Recent SEO & copywriting projects include: ➡ A business awards website ➡ A recruitment training website ➡ A toy testing laboratory ➡ A factory floor manufacturer ➡ A Sharia Law banking app ➡ A Social Media company ➡ A Research and Development Tax company ➡ A GPT (Get Paid To) community website ➡ Numerous clients for a copywriting agency ➡ An online training website ➡ A Ghostwritten biography I can help you with ➡ SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) ➡ Website copy ➡ Business Blogging ➡ Social Media Posts ➡ Social Media Profiles ➡ Ghost-written articles or eBooks ➡ Book editing & Proofreading ➡ Knowledgebase ‘how-to’ documents My first website visits of the day are SEMrush and Google Search Console – research and statistics are my lifeblood and you’ll often find me generating graphs and Excel sheets to prove a point! In my personal life I am a mother and grandmother, dog owner, gardener and veg grower, and I love an Oxford comma… If you think you’d like to work with me, please get in touch on 07749 378907 / nikki@nikki-pilkington.com Or, connect with me on LinkedIn or Twitter.

    I'm a freelance senior copywriter, one hour from central London, working with marketers and advertising agencies around the world. I create sales copy, web content and campaigns. During two plus decades at top London agencies I've written for healthcare, travel, automotive and much more. With results like 2.7m Facebook story impressions in under three weeks for Tourism Ireland. I’ve delivered over 1000 projects in 17 markets, reaching audiences of 5m plus. I rewrote a website for breast cancer patients, increasing traffic by 38%. The new site won a ‘best practice’ award and became the client's benchmark for online patient support. From this project I learned how design, UX, and copywriting can seamlessly support each other. Prior to healthcare I honed my skills in B2C and B2B, for clients as diverse as Rolex and General Electric. I cut my teeth in traditional media, but have a passion for digital - having written extensively for social media and content marketing. This career experience gives me a deeper understanding of how to truly connect communications across channels. For example, I wrote a set of case studies for the UK’s largest property management company. Working with a team of five including another copywriter, a designer and the marketing manager we developed a Direct Mail and AdWords campaign. This led to a 23% increase in company site traffic, 1000+ case studies downloaded and a 14% increase in new business enquiries over 6 months. In my spare time I love renovating classic cars and motorbikes. The attention to detail, problem solving and concentration this demands helps to bring laser-like focus to my copywriting!

    "Doug, your copy writing skills really are exceptional. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into our website. It’s really appreciated.” - Nicolas Carlton-Smith, Carlton Smith Private Wealth. There's a motto above my desk - "Always lead with the outcomes, and give people a reason to care" - and it’s an approach I bring to just about every project I work on. _________ A note before I go further, though. I've recently accepted a position 4 days a week at a smashing integrated marketing company in Suffolk. So I'm being very selective about any new/extra work on top of this. _________ You want to know exactly what you need to say, and where to say it. And you want to say it clearly, in a way that appeals to people personally and makes you look like the professional answer to their prayers. I'm a copywriter who helps user-focused businesses get attention, win trust and define their service. In other words, I help you show other people how you help them. And I do it through your website, brochures, landing pages, emails and chatbots. But not blog posts. Please don’t ask me to write blog posts. People usually work with a copywriter when re-branding, launching a new service or when they need to show they've evolved. Are you excited about change and the future? "Doug is great in meetings, takes time to understand a business and its voice, communicates easily with our team and delivers content that perfectly complements our designs." - Andy Smith, StrategiQ Marketing. People make decisions based on emotion, not logic. As well as your unique traits, I delve into your customer's problems, what matters to them most and the outcomes they want - and then talk to them in the way they speak themselves. You’ll get clarity to your brand, goals, mission and messaging. You’ll be able to use your website to beat the competition as well as attract new clients. We can create: - Home pages that show your customers they're in exactly the right place and you have the answer to their problem - Landing pages that draw readers in as they read down the screen, and convert - About pages that really reveal what you're like to work with - Services & product pages that spell out exactly what your offerings do for your clients, so people know you have exactly what they need - Page Title Tags and Meta Descriptions that help with SEO and catch your customer's eye in the search engine results I solve how to say what you do - with clarity - and make an impact on your clients. Not sure a writer will understand your business? I've worked successfully with many. Check out my website: www.lookherewriting.com Drop me a line - I'll be happy to hear from you 🙂 Thanks! Doug.

    I’m Angie, a freelance copywriter based in Glasgow, Scotland. I’m here to help you find your voice, tell your story, hone your message, and engage with the audience you want to reach. I understand that you’re more than a business: you’re a human being using business as a means to connect with and serve other humans, to share your values and make the world a better place. When you work with me, you get more than a freelancer or a consultant. You get a collaborative partner who cares as much about your success as you do. I mean that: I won’t work with you if I don’t think our values are a good match. What ARE my values? Honesty, integrity, kindness, genuine human connection, and doing great work my clients are happy with. I’m here to make the world a better place, just like you are, and I purposefully keep my workload small so that I can give every project the time and attention it deserves. Whatever your project, I’ll craft copy that is clear, readable, relatable, and authentically YOU. Together, we’ll make sure your message not only reaches your audience, but CONNECTS with them. Background: I've been copywriting full-time since 2020, and recently left an in-house position to focus entirely on freelancing. My copywriting skills are complemented by additional professional experience in: 📖 Bookselling and publishing ✏ ​Editing/proofreading 🌍 Spanish to English translation ✈ ​Travel/tourism 🎓 Language learning and education I was born in a small town in Iowa, but I've never let that stop me. I first left home at the age of 16 to be an exchange student in the Canary Islands, Spain. I've taught English in Japan and led adventure tours in Central America. Whether learning languages or teaching them, travelling the world or curled up in my favourite chair with my nose stuck in a book, underlying everything has been an obsession with the power of words. I've edited several novels, proofread many PhDs, and curated the fiction floor of the largest bookshop in Scotland. In short, I’ve been wordsmithing my way around the world for more years than I care to admit. I found my way to my first official copywriting gig in the middle of pandemic lockdown, thanks to a mouse who chewed a hole in a water pipe above my neighbour’s kitchen ceiling – but that’s a story I reserve for our first creative review. (Curious? Drop me a message and let's get the ball rolling!) For the full A to Z of working with me, check out my portfolio site at: www.aisforangie.com

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”

Jo Watson

“I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”
