Hands-on creative, content and build roles

Hire an SEO Copywriter | SEO Content Writer/Strategist

An SEO copywriter writes pages designed to rank for one search intent and persuade the reader once they land. I choose the keyword and intent first, structure the page around the questions searchers ask, and write copy with a clear next step. It suits sites whose pages are well written but not found.

Pricing is scoped to each project. Book a call and I will tell you what yours involves.

The role

What an SEO copywriter does and what you get

As your SEO copywriter, I will confirm the keyword and intent, and check what already ranks, outline the page around the questions searchers ask and write copy with a clear heading structure and a call to action. I work hands-on: I do the work myself, inside your accounts and files, and show you the output every week.

Before

Your pages read well but target no particular search, or several pages compete for the same keyword.

Pricing

How pricing works

The cost of hiring an SEO copywriter depends on the number of pages and their depth, the competition level for the target keywords, the number of channels or platforms involved, the size of the team I work with, how long we work together and how quickly you need results. I scope every engagement to your situation and do not publish rates, so you pay only for the work your business needs.

Where to hire

Where to hire an SEO copywriter: freelancer, agency, platform or in-house

You can hire an SEO copywriter through a marketplace, an agency, a specialist platform or directly. A content writer writes broadly useful articles; an SEO copywriter works from keyword and intent, and often rewrites commercial pages rather than blog posts.

What to look for

Skills and portfolio to look for

Look for evidence of the skills the work needs, not a general portfolio. For SEO copywriter work that means Ahrefs and Semrush, Search Console, a page outline template and GA4, and results you can verify.

How hiring me works

How my hiring process works

Hiring me works in three steps: a brief, a short trial on a defined piece of work, then deliverables on a set schedule. You see how I work before committing to a longer engagement.

  1. Brief and first output

    Audit target pages and map one keyword to each.

  2. Review and adjust

    Write the first set of pages for review.

  3. Steady delivery

    Check indexing and early rankings, then refine headings and links.

Interview questions

Interview questions to ask any SEO copywriter

Ask these before you hire anyone, including me. The point is to hear how they think and what they would do first.

  1. 01

    Ask how they decide between two pages for the same keyword.

  2. 02

    Ask to see a page they wrote, the keyword and where it ranked.

  3. 03

    Ask what they would do in the first week if you hired them today.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on scope, timing and fit. Pricing is always scoped to your project.

What does an SEO copywriter do?

As your SEO copywriter, I confirm the keyword and intent, and check what already ranks, outline the page around the questions searchers ask, write copy with a clear heading structure and a call to action and add internal links, titles and meta descriptions. I do the work myself and show you the output every week.

How much does it cost to hire an SEO copywriter?

Cost depends on the number of pages and their depth, the competition level for the target keywords, the number of channels or platforms, team size, engagement length and how quickly you need results. I scope each project individually instead of quoting a standard rate. Book a Call for a scoped quote and I will tell you exactly what your situation involves.

Freelance SEO copywriter vs agency: which is better?

A content writer writes broadly useful articles; an SEO copywriter works from keyword and intent, and often rewrites commercial pages rather than blog posts. A freelancer gives you direct access and flexible commitment; an agency adds a larger bench. Tell me what you need on a call and I will say honestly which suits you.

When should I hire an SEO copywriter?

Hire an SEO copywriter when your pages read well but target no particular search, or several pages compete for the same keyword. If that sounds familiar, a short call is enough to confirm whether the role fits or whether something simpler would do. Book a Call and I will answer this for your specific situation.

What should I ask before hiring an SEO copywriter?

Ask how they decide between two pages for the same keyword. Ask to see a page they wrote, the keyword and where it ranked. Their answers matter less than whether they answer plainly, with specifics you can check. Book a Call and I will answer this for your specific situation.

How long until I see results from an SEO copywriter?

Timing depends on your starting point and the channel. In the first 30 days I audit target pages and map one keyword to each. By day 60 I write the first set of pages for review. By day 90 I check indexing and early rankings, then refine headings and links. We agree these checkpoints before work starts.

Where can I hire one (Upwork, Fiverr, direct)?

You can hire through marketplaces such as Upwork or Fiverr, through a specialist platform, or directly. Marketplaces make comparison easy; hiring direct gives you a shorter route to the person doing the work. I take direct enquiries: book a call, describe the scope, and I will say whether I am the right fit.

Hourly vs monthly retainer pricing?

Hourly suits small, uncertain tasks; a monthly retainer suits ongoing work with a steady scope; a fixed project suits a defined deliverable. I choose the model with you, based on the number of pages and their depth and how long the work runs. Book a Call and I will recommend one; there is no standard rate card.
