Client: Copywriter Collective
Industry: Freelance Copywriting Marketplace
Service: Technical SEO, Keyword Optimization, Content Strategy, International SEO
Campaign Duration: ~12 Months
Goal: Increase organic visibility, rank for high-converting keywords, and expand international traffic.
The Challenge
Copywriter Collective had a strong portfolio of global talent—but their organic visibility wasn’t matching their brand’s potential. Their site had:
-
Stagnant organic traffic
-
Unoptimized blog and landing pages
-
Duplicate or thin content in some areas
-
Lack of keyword alignment with high-buying intent searches
-
Low visibility in country-specific SERPs (US, UK, EU)
The Strategy
Technical SEO Overhaul
We conducted a full audit to resolve crawlability issues, structured data gaps, and on-page errors (missing H1s, meta issues, slow pages, etc.).
Keyword Research & Targeting
We focused on transactional and niche terms such as:
-
hire copywriters
-
copywriters for hire
-
arabic copywriting agency
-
freelance copywriters for hire
-
find a copywriter
These terms showed high intent and aligned well with the client’s core services.
Content Optimization
-
Rewrote core service pages to include primary and secondary keywords
-
Created optimized meta titles & descriptions for 100+ pages
-
Refreshed old blog content with updated SEO data
-
Added internal linking from blog → service pages
Location-Based SEO Expansion
We built out geo-targeted landing pages and optimized for city- and country-based keywords like:
-
copywriting dublin
-
copywriter toronto
-
copywriting stockholm
-
copywriter padova
This helped win local #1 rankings in competitive markets.
Featured Snippet & Long-Tail Strategy
We targeted long-tail and quirky terms like:
-
worst slogans
-
weird slogans
-
bad slogans
-
bad taglines
-
nudge email
These earned top positions and increased engagement from new user segments.
