What are copywriting services for businesses?

So, your business needs words to have a big impact?

Every business does! Words connect with customers, and those connections lead to sales. Simple. But you may find that writing isn’t your expertise, or you’re too close to your project to be able to do it yourself. Or, more commonly, you may just not have the time to dedicate to business writing.

All of these are very normal challenges, which is why you turn to a professional copywriter to give you a hand.

However, then you look at their list of copywriting services, and may have no clue what it is you need. Don’t worry! You’re not alone.

To help you identify how to get the best results with a freelance copywriter, here is a guide to copywriting services and what they each mean for your business.

Are you after content that captivates, words that work and marketing that motivates?
​
I understand – and you’re not alone. Every business needs these things. That’s where a quality copywriter can help you with their copywriting services. But where do you even start?

Square one - the first thing to ask yourself

Start with: what do you need written?
​
This will help determine what assistance you need and where you’re currently positioned.

• Do you need a copywriter to help you write from scratch?
• Do you have content already that just needs a polish?
• Or do you need guidance and support?
  

It could even be a combination of all three. While all of the below copywriting services still apply, no matter what stage you’re at, knowing where you’re starting from allows you to define the kind of projects you need help with.

For example, starting from scratch will require you to spend time briefing your copywriter to determine the whole direction of your content, whereas an edit or a polish of existing content can be much quicker. However, if you need overall content assistance, then it’s a different approach altogether.

So, now that you’ve determined what kind of direction you’re heading in, it’s time to match your needs with the right service.
