For business owners there is a lot to wrap your head around. You’ve built the website, you’re posting on socials, and you’ve even sent out a press release but web traffic is still low. How can you bring people to your website? The answer is optimised content that shows Google your authority in your industry. You need content that answers the questions your customers are asking. They come for the answer and stay for the service.
Before we go any further, there’s a little bit of jargon to understand. What do we mean by content creation? It’s a pretty broad topic. It covers everything from case studies, to blogs, from videos to podcasts. In this blog we’re going to talk specifically about written content. Us marketers call it copywriting.

What does copywriting cost?
Copywriting involves the craft and skill of creating persuasive written content to promote or sell a product, service, or idea. It’s a crucial part of your marketing strategy, covering everything from your website’s content to social media captions and PR campaigns.
Retainer fees are typically charged on a monthly basis, although quarterly or annual contracts are possible. Retainers work well for ongoing work like PR or SEO copywriting, as hourly rates might be impractical and lead to exorbitant costs. Hourly rates and day rates are often interchangeable, with day rates being more applicable to larger projects. In 2023, copywriting day rates range from around £350 for inexperienced copywriters to £1,000 or more for seasoned professionals. Similarly, hourly rates can range from £35 to £200.
