Specifically, we offer SEO copyediting for our client’s websites, blogs, and social media. This service involves finding and correcting errors and applying SEO standards to your online content.

SEO is vital to you because Internet users on desktops launch approximately 75% of all search queries on Google. Furthermore, those using mobile devices initiate over 90% of all search queries on Google.

How Can a Copy Editor Help You?

A Copy Editor can help you improve your text so that it communicates credibly, professionally, and consistently. This quality is essential because your written content ultimately reflects on you, your business, and your reputation.

Those in business who engage Copy Editors want their work product, administrative documents, and online content to reflect the following attributes:

Context

Ensure the text speaks to its intended audience

Clarity

Resolve redundancies and ambiguities

Consistency

Correct word misusages, dropped words, and spacing errors

Accuracy

Make sure the text is free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors

Focus

Ensure the text highlights the subject and key points

Action

Make sure the text points to specific outcomes and actions

We do not ask clients to sign long-term contracts. In fact, you may want to use our services for a couple of engagements to see whether we produce the type of results that would justify your investment.

If you do not feel the results justify the expense, just let us know at any time, and you’re under no further obligation. On the other hand, if you find the results favorable, please let us know, and we will schedule the time to accommodate your projects and engagements.
