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.
