Save Money with Quality Copy Editing

You may feel like hiring a copy editor creates more hassle and additional expense, but having a copy editor review your marketing materials, website content, and other written communication can actually save you money. 

An experienced copy editor catches errors, improves clarity, and ensures consistency, enhancing your brand’s image, increasing customer trust, and ultimately driving sales.

As famed author Stephen King once said, “To write is human, to edit is divine.” 

Your business or organization needs content that relays your brand message. A copy editor can be the objective set of eyes to help you publish clear and concise messaging.

A copy editor will also spotlight mistakes. But more than that, hiring a copy editor affords you someone who understands what you’re trying to say by asking the right questions to bring out the core of your message and then help you say it well.

Lackluster content with typos kills conversions.

Are you still spending hours editing content produced by your in-house content team or inexperienced freelancers?

Content managers can spend 3-6 hours or more editing each week. Instead of time dedicated to driving content strategies that convert, they overspend time:

  1. clarifying intention and tone
  2. correcting facts and information
  3. formatting for SEO and readability
  4. editing for brand adherence and the client’s target market
  5. giving feedback to the writer for several unnecessary rounds of revisions

You have other options: You can keep spending +20 hours per month editing substandard work or save valuable time and money when you hire a quality copy editor.
