Does your website content reflect your real voice and value?

 

I’m a Melbourne SEO copywriter with over 20 years’ experience turning ‘meh’ websites into memorable ones. If you’re a business owner, marketer or agency who needs a website that works harder in an AI-driven search landscape, you’re in the right place.

Life is a messy experience. Your website shouldn’t be.

Turning browsers into buyers doesn’t happen by chance. It needs customer insights, a voice that resonates and messaging that makes ‘buy now’ the easy choice.

But don’t forget that first, your dream people have to find you. (SEO website copywriting has always been a fine art, and now we’re adding AI optimisation into the mix.)

It’s a pretty tall order. But thanks to my copywriting methodology (developed over two decades of work), I can help you shape your ideas and communicate them clearly to the world.

What is SEO copywriting?

SEO copywriting is website content built to do two jobs at once: rank with Google (and increasingly, with AI search) and actually connect with the person reading it once they land on the page.

Keyword stuffed

Reads like a machine wrote it. People bounce.

Beautifully written, badly targeted

Never gets found in the first place.

Good SEO copywriting avoids both traps

N
Starts with the words your audience is actually typing into Google
N
Builds content around what makes you different and why you’re the right fit
N
Lets keywords do their job quietly, not shouting from every subhead and sentence.

Done properly, search-optimised website content reads like a person wrote it (that’s because I did!), and is structured so both Google and AI search tools understand exactly what your business does and who it’s for.

Tools like Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT pull answers from pages that clearly state what a business does, who it’s for, and why it’s credible – the same fundamentals that make copy connect with human readers. (That means write for clarity and structure first, and you’re already most of the way to being AI-search ready.)

Frequently asked questions about SEO copywriting

Here are the answers to a few practical questions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just get in touch.

 

Do I really need a website?
Are you in business? Then the short answer is ‘Yes’. Without a website, people will question your legitimacy. Plus, it’s like having your best salesperson working on steroids 24/7. (And who wouldn’t want that?) The next compelling reason is that a website optimised for search (SEO) will help your target audience find you. Without it, you’ll just get drowned out by the noise.
What information do you need to quote my website copywriting project?
I can give you a ballpark price with a brief description of your business, audience, project and deadline. (That way you know from the start if my rates fit your budget.) If prices and budget align, we hop on a call and get to know each other. If it feels like we’re a good fit, I send you a quote or proposal explaining how I can help.
What information do you need from me to start the job
I have a briefing questionnaire that prompts you to provide all the info I need. Plus you can brain dump your thoughts in our strategy session. I ask A LOT of questions. So if there’s anything else I need to know before getting started on your web copy, rest assured I’ll seek it out
How long will it take to write my website copy?
It all depends on the size of your project (and the swiftness of your revisions) but I’ll be able to give you an estimated timeline when I know more. In my experience, a 5 page website takes around 3-4 weeks from start to finish.
What does your pricing include?
The price I quote is the price I charge (no one likes ‘those’ kinds of surprises). My fee generally includes a Zoom strategy session, feedback chats, industry and customer research, two rounds of changes and professional proofreading by a second editor.
Can I make changes if I don’t like what you’ve written?
Absolutely. Copywriting is a collaborative and iterative process. So I need your feedback to assure the result you want. My web copywriting project fee includes two rounds of revisions at no extra cost so we can get it absolutely right.
What is SEO copywriting?
SEO copywriting is a balancing act between writing web copy that’s a mighty good read for humans and that search engines love too. To get search engines to rank your website as the best fit for a user’s search query, copy must use the right keywords in the right spots with awesome headings and a good smattering of links.
Can you write website copy that gets me to page one of Google?

Honestly? That’s not something I can guarantee. (And anyone who does is talking rubbish). There are (literally) hundreds of elements that come in to play when it comes to Google ranking. SEO copywriting is just one of them. However, with expert keyword research and optimised copywriting, you stand a much better chance.

What is AIO and why should I care about it?
AIO stands for AI Optimisation, and it’s quickly becoming as important as SEO. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews are changing how people search. Instead of scrolling through a list of links, they’re getting direct answers from AI. If your website copy isn’t structured in a way AI can read, understand and cite, you’re invisible to a growing chunk of your audience. Good AIO copywriting isn’t a separate discipline – it’s SEO copywriting done properly, with an eye for how AI parses and prioritises content.
Does your website copywriting help with AI search as well as Google?
Yes – and it’s something I pay close attention to. AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews favour content that’s clear, authoritative and well-structured. That means clear language, specific claims, strong headlines and copy that answers real questions directly. Fortunately, that’s also what makes for brilliant website copy full stop! So when I write your website, I’m writing for humans first – and making sure the AI tools they’re using can find you too.
Isn’t it cheaper if I write my own website copy?
On the face of it, yes. But bad copy costs you more in the long run. Your time could be better spent in your area of expertise. And if you don’t have copy that’s optimised for search and conversion, you’ll miss out on leads and sales for sure. Hiring an experienced copywriter is an investment. But one that pays off. We take the stress out of it. And add value and save you money in the end.
What style will you write in?
My natural style is what you see here (fairly chatty as it goes). But what matters is the style you want and which resonates with the folk you’re in business to help. I’ve written in all kinds of voices – formal and authoritative, cute and quirky, smart and edgy… Take a look at my portfolio to see what that means in practice
Do you use AI in the copywriting process?
I’m all for the ethical use of AI – and I’m upfront about it. Concerned about safety and security? So am I – so I check all the opt-out clauses for each model from the off. I use various AI tools to help me speed up the research process, gain customer insights and analyse your competitors, as well as:

  • Brainstorming hooks, angles and fresh ideas.
  • Frameworking sales pages and long-form content.
  • Getting fast feedback on copy drafts.
  • Spotting gaps in logic and clarity.
  • Acting as a ‘customer’ to reflect thoughts and objections.

In short, I blend the speed of technology with the art of brand storytelling, never sacrificing voice or personality, to get you faster results.
