I've been a copywriter, editor, and content strategist since 2023, with a marketing background that shapes my approach to every project. I write for both search engines and AI. SEO to rank, AEO to cite, both mean your brand gets the visibility you work hard to achieve. I don't just write to fill a page; I write to get results. When I first started, I turned $800 in marketing spend into over $20,000 in new business within three months. Engaging, on-brand, and built to turn a casual reader into your loyal customer. Here's what my clients say about working with me: "It was a pleasure working with Chloë. She is highly motivated and collaborative, always looking for ways to improve both her own work and the team's processes. She always responded quickly, provided regular updates, and jumped on high-priority tasks. I have no doubt she'll bring the same dedication, creativity, and team spirit to any future role." "Bringing you on board has been a phenomenal experience. From your initial pitch to your delivery, we've been impressed every step of the way. You've taken a hands-on approach and shown exceptional service and a human touch." "Chloë goes above and beyond. We've been working on a structured strategy since the project began, and she's helped drive it forward with new ideas, perspective, and energy." SEO strategy using tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and SurferSEO. AEO copywriting, woven in, so your content has the best shot at ranking and getting cited. Copyediting, proofreading, and fact-checking precision are standard.
