Communication is important in every relationship- both personal and professional. 

By communicating, people can acknowledge, appreciate and value something. 
​Businesses like yours love to communicate for the same reasons; with customers, partners, suppliers, contractors, staff and more. 

You want your target audience to recognise and trust your brand – and that’s why you want to be effective in relaying a powerful message telling the world what you offer is the best solution they need. 

However, this is not always an easy task when you have more urgent matters. 

Luckily, copywriters are here to help you build a strong connection with your customers. The challenge, though, lies in picking the right one and being able to explain what you require from them. 

So, how will you tell the difference between an average and a high-quality copywriter? By the questions the copywriter asks about your project!

How can you tell if a copywriter is a good one? 

Understanding the benefits a copywriter can bring to your business is great start. 

Keep in mind, however, that achieving optimal results depends on selecting a good copywriter to work with you. Your business doesn’t want to get average results because you hired an average copywriter.

So, what should you do, then? 

Simple. Pay attention to the questions they ask before starting a project.

5 questions a good copywriter will ask you before starting a project 

To accurately capture your brand’s voice, a good copywriter makes an effort to understand clients like you.  

Asking the right questions is what a quality copywriter does to be able to correctly generate and communicate content effectively. 

So, in qualifying a copywriter for a certain project, be attentive in observing if the following questions are asked: 

1. What are the required tasks and expected deliverables? 

A good copywriter will require you to be specific with your project, including:  

  • the overall marketing message 
  • the kind of platform you want 
  • your multimedia needs 
  • your preferred channels 
  • the time frame and deadlines. 

To produce effective pieces of copy for your marketing campaigns and marketing collateral, a copywriter must know all these details.  

It will be better for a copywriter to be informed about your expectations as early as possible. 

2. Who is your target audience? 

To deliver your brand message effectively, it is absolutely vital for you and the copywriter to be on the same track when it comes to determining the intended customers. 

A good copywriter must, therefore, ask you about your target audience and prompt you to analyse what their pain points are.  

A quality copywriter can also be specific about this by questioning you about your customers’ demographics (age, education, location), psychographics (values, attitudes, interests) and technographics (their means of viewing the content).

3. What is your solution for your target audience’s pain points? 

A good copywriter will ask you about the products and services you’re offering and how can they solve your target audience’s problems. 

To create a persuasive call to action, a copywriter should inquire about what do you want your audience to do and how your brand is relevant to them. 

4. What kind of brand positioning are you aiming for? 

Asking about your niche, your preferred tone, style and language will help a copywriter produce coherent and compelling content for your business that positions your brand in the right way.

5. What are your metrics for success? 

Most of the time, clients don’t really know what they want. To ensure that time, efforts and resources aren’t wasted, a good copywriter should ask what particular results you would like to see.  

How many clicks? How much engagement? How many leads? 

Measurable metrics for success will also allow you to evaluate a copywriter’s performance.
