communicate, engage, and convert leads?
1. Communicate Your Brand’s Core Value Statement
The first goal of your website, landing page, and digital content is to communicate your brand’s value statement. Some marketers prefer to call your value statement a Unique Seller’s Proposition (USP). Once your USP is written it will become the backbone of all your marketing messages.
Writing your brand’s USP is a specialty of mine. Hell, it should be a specialized skill of any freelance conversational copywriter. It is as important as the headline is to a blog post.
Your core value statement will communicate what your brand offers and who you do it for within the first 5 seconds of a reader landing on any page of your website.
2. Engage and build meaningful connections
Take a second and think about who your website is focussed on now. Is it centered on your customers or your business? The primary goal of copywriting is to build a connection between your core value statement and the benefits of using your brand’s products and services.
Once we have created your value statement, we have to engage and connect with your customers by illustrating the benefits of using your products and services. Content that speaks to the pain and worry that keeps them up at night.
We will position your brand as the solution to removing key pain points blocking your readers from meeting and exceeding their goals.
Our goal is never to disrupt the conversation but to join in the discussions already happening online in tangible ways.
3. Track & A/B Test to Increase Revenue
Once you are getting results through building meaningful connections with your audience with your effective core value statement your revenue will increase.
However, it is best to test and tweak headlines, bullet points, images, language, and your Calls-to-Action statements (CTA) to evolve your website copy with the constantly changing digital landscape.
Your website and landing page copywriting includes A/B split testing so you can test, track, and analyze the best combinations of copy and design, to build an engaged audience, and convert more leads for increased revenue.
Stop wasting time and money.
The longer you wait to invest in freelance conversational copywriting, the more money you leave on the table.

My Conversational Copywriting Process
1. Discovery Call and Content Questionaire
Before we begin, I will review your website, your competition, and research SEO keywords. Every great copywriting job starts with research.
While I am doing this, you will download, complete, and return my content questionnaire. I’ll review your responses and set up a discovery call with you.
During the call, we will decide whether we are a good fit for each other, your goals, and the starting point for your project. My average turn around time is 3-4 weeks depending upon the size of your conversational copywriting project.
I charge $1500 for small websites and landing pages. Larger multi-page websites start at $3,000-4500, and up for conversational copywriting which includes, meta descriptions, SEO optimized for content and images, and A/B split testing. I require a starting fee of 1/2 down and balance due upon completion of your project.
2. Core Value Statement or USP
During our discovery call, we will brainstorm on your core message. In the copywriting questionnaire, you downloaded you will write several value statements on your own. A core value statement a string of words, jargon, and B.S for what you think matters to your customer. Your USP is a statement that rolls up who your brand is, what you stand for, and what your customers can expect you to deliver time and time again. It is the heart and soul of your brand.
3. First Draft Submission
Once my research is complete, and we have agreed on the best version of your Core Value Statement, I will write your website or landing page copy. I will deliver the first draft for review within the time frame you and I have agreed upon.
First draft submissions include –
Website content, SEO optimization for proper keywords and phrases, SEO optimized images and screenshots, meta descriptions, 5 headlines, correct usage of Hi H2 and H3 tags, and inbound and outbound links.
Please keep in mind it takes me 3-4 weeks to finish a 4-page website assignment and I am usually booked 3-8 weeks in advance. Larger projects and my special offers take more time.
4. Unlimited Revisions
After the first draft is submitted, you can publish it to your website. I can do this for you, or your website technician can upload. Read copy out loud for accuracy and proper language. Analyze A/B test results and submit changes.
*Important – Unlimited revisions do not mean changes to the scope of work listed in our contract. Revisions are to first draft and final drafts only and do not include: add-ons to the project, changes to contract description, or new page add-ons.
My goal is to write copy that converts, establish meaningful connections, and increases your revenue. I take great pride in my work, and I will speak my mind when I feel changes might be detrimental to our bottom line — building relationships with your audience for long-term sales of products and services.
Blog Articles
SEO Blogging and conversational copywriting go hand-in-hand -mano-y-mano!
Why?
Because your blog is the arena where you can help guide your audience through the buyer’s journey. When you publish articles in the language of your readers you build trust, meet them where they are at, establish connections, solve problems, erase doubt, and position your product or service as the solution.
Product Reviews
Conversational copywriting is useful for useful product reviews because you are speaking the language of the reader.
Your customers care less about features than product benefits. A great product review shows your buyer how your product is going to improve their life. Don’t get me wrong features are important. You worked hard to make sure each one serves a purpose, but the benefits of the features sell your product.
Info Architecture
Information architecture is the design and organization of your website. Designing your website with the user’s experience in mind creates a navigatable site structure and an information highway. When your web page delivers content with easy navigation and site structure, your readers will move through the buyer’s journey effortlessly.
Information architecture and SEO combine with matching the customer’s journey with your call-to-action, whether your CTA is to acquire email addresses, make sales, or get people to call your business. If your site isn’t organized and easily navigated, it will fail.
Content STrategy
When you’re compelled to take action at the end of a sales page, the copywriter has done a great job. After all, it is the purpose of copywriting – engage and convert. When you are engaged and captivated by a brand’s story, the copywriter has earned your trust and connected you with the brand at some level.
As a conversational copywriter, your content strategy is crucial to success because I am not only concerned about the sale. I want to establish meaningful connections, create brand ambassadors, and advocates for your brand. Your content strategy provides purpose, vision, and direction, so all digital communications align with your business needs and goals. I blend copywriting skills, research, user experience, and SEO to align your content marketing goals with your audience’s desires, needs, and wants.
SEO Strategy & Product pages
Product page SEO is increasingly challenging to get right. It is not impossible, and when you research the language and intent of your audience, your SEO Product Pages will convert.
SEO Product Pages serve two purposes 1) to engage buyers with your creative products or services.
2) to give Google enough semantically relevant content to rank you on Page #1.
A conversational copywriter dives deep into audience research so he can understand the language familiar to your audience, speak to them where they are at, and cater to their personal needs by creating more impactful (and SEO optimized) product description pages.
Creative CopyWriting
A conversational copywriter writes to your customers, not at them. We don’t shout from a soapbox, misuse rules of persuasion, or tricks or schemes to make a sale. Instead, we engage your readers into a conversation as if we were seated together, sharing a pot of tea.
I inject your copy with the language your readers use, join into conversations, and meet your readers where they are in the buyer’s journey.
Selling your products or services with relatable stories is only one way I connect, establish, and convert meaningful relationships with readers.
I’m ready when you are! Your beautiful content is right around the corner.
WARNING
I write the clinical jargon and technical bullshit out of your marketing messages, so your
readers desire to establish meaningful connections with your brand’s product and services.
