What if you could trade in price shoppers for clients that reach out with intention?
Can we really blame people for price shopping when they have a million tabs open and can’t tell the difference between what they’re looking at?
Your clients don’t have time to figure out what you’re all about. You gotta just tell ‘em why you’re the right fit…or let’s be honest…the worst fit!
To stop those generic inquiries, we’ll use client-focused copy to differentiate your brand; kinda like finding the right key for the right lock.

Before I write a word, we need to figure out your brand’s message and central story.
I’ll dive into research to uncover what your clients really want and how YOU uniquely solve their problem.
The result? A Google doc that might look plain but will actually blow you away!
It’ll become your go-to guide for all your marketing - website, emails, Instagram - connecting you with your clients and giving them a consistent message.
To discover the story your brand needs to tell, I’m gonna do research like…

"It’s not just website copy, it’s your entire brand's copy!"

Once you’ve approved your brand message (see: Client-Focused Brand Guide), I’ll write your website, filling it with words that SELL.
Your website will be easily (and quickly!) understood and will speak directly to your ideal client. Not only that, but it will direct them to take action!
All the copy will be delivered to you in a wireframe that you can hand right over to your designer.
Bye bye generic inquiries!

You’ve got an editor for your photos, so why not outsource your copy editing too?
Hand me your crappy-first-drafts of emails and word-vomit-instagram-captions. I’ll go extreme-home-organizer on ‘em, correcting grammar, organizing paragraphs, and making sentences flow.
Note that Copy Clean Up does not include any research or messaging work.

If you’re married to your website layout, I’m not the copywriter for you. I won’t just fill a template with fluff.
I’m right there with you, getting overly-excited about the pretty designy things. But hold off until you have the words that will convert. THEN you can either DIY the design or work with one of my recommended pros.
I would do anything for words but
I won't do THIS:
I know it’s tricky to preach “community over competition” when you hope to stand out and have to make money.
This might help: we’re not “compeeeeting”…we’re differentiating. Like Jimmy Choo’s vs. Birkenstocks: neither shoe is better than the other, but they each serve wildly different purposes.
Likewise, I’ll help you find the words that highlight why you’re the best fit for your clients’ problems, while still connecting with your business besties. That's what positioning is all about.
If you’re still figuring out what you love doing and who you love serving, don’t spend money on a website overhaul just yet.
The best copy comes from solid data, so keep experimenting to find your passion and ideal clients. Once you have a handful of dream clients, we’ll talk!
In the meantime, keep exploring my blog and you can always ask me for book and podcast recs!
I’m not just gonna make up stuff based on what YOU tell me or on what “sounds good.”
Sure, there’s a big ol’ questionnaire involved, but that is just one piece of the puzzle. The real messaging magic happens in the research phase, when I listen to your clients.
