Hire the Best Cornerstone Content Professionals
Noida, India
Most content gets written and forgotten. I write content that ranks, holds attention, and moves people to act. Over the past 3 years I have worked with DTC brands, ecommerce clients, and coaches across the US and UK, writing blogs, website copy, email sequences, and scripts. I scaled a website from 0 to 5,000 monthly visitors through content clusters, search intent, and strong internal linking. Beyond writing I build the systems around it. Email and WhatsApp automation funnels using HubSpot, Zapier, and n8n that turn traffic into leads and leads into customers without adding manual work. What I actually do well: SEO blog writing and editing that ranks and reads like a human wrote it. Email campaigns with open rates of 28 to 32 percent. Marketing automation that reduces follow up time by up to 60 percent. Content across fitness, coaching, ecommerce, hospitality, and mental health. If you need someone who can write and think about how that writing performs, I'll be awaiting your invite.

Most businesses are drowning in marketing tools and starving for leads. They've got SEO, paid ads, email platforms, a CRM, and analytics, but the systems don't talk to each other, follow-up is inconsistent, and leads that should be closing slip through the cracks. Most AI automation work is built by engineers who learned marketing on the job. Mine is the opposite. I've spent 25+ years doing SEO, lead generation, and direct response marketing, and I started building AI workflows because Claude finally made the engineering tractable for someone like me. The result is automation built on real marketing judgment: what offer to put in front of which audience, what subject line actually opens, what follow-up cadence converts. Claude provides the execution speed. I bring the taste. Here's what that looks like in practice: Lead generation systems. I build pipelines that find prospects, enrich them, qualify them against your ICP, and produce personalized outreach (email, LinkedIn, SMS) at a volume no human team can match. The AI does the volume; I tune the judgment. Claude-powered marketing automation. Custom AI agents that draft content, manage email sequences, surface insights from your CRM, and handle repetitive marketing ops. Deployed on Vercel/Next.js with cron-driven workflows so they run on autopilot. This is the work I do most, and it's where I have a real edge over most automation freelancers. Website visitor identification & intent-based retargeting. Roughly 95% of your site visitors leave without filling out a form. I deploy enterprise-grade identity resolution (the same tech Fortune 500s use) that names up to 60% of anonymous visitors with email, phone, and mailing address; scores their intent based on what they viewed; and feeds qualified leads into your CRM the next day. No new ad spend required. Technical SEO & site architecture. XML sitemaps, Search Console diagnostics, indexation strategy, site migrations, URL hierarchy, canonical and redirect cleanup. The unglamorous work that decides whether Google shows the right page for the right query. I've led full SEO migrations on multi-thousand-URL sites and I write specs your dev team can implement directly. Platform experience. HighLevel (GHL) is where I work most often, building funnels, workflows, and sub-accounts. I'll work inside whatever platform you're already on, or build something custom if the off-the-shelf tools don't fit. This works best for: - High-ticket service businesses (medical, legal, home services, financial) - B2B companies with long consideration cycles where personalized follow-up matters - Agencies that want to offer AI-powered automation as a service to their own clients - Anyone already spending on traffic who wants more pipeline from the spend they're already making What I bring to the table: - 25+ years running a marketing agency (founded 1996) - Hands-on experience building production AI workflows with Claude - Deep technical SEO background, including large-scale site migrations and indexation work - Deep current experience with HighLevel (GHL); comfortable in most major marketing platforms - Bilingual (English & Spanish) - Pepperdine MBA & MSA I'm an agency owner, but I do the work myself. No junior handoffs, no account managers, no waiting in a queue. You'll talk to the person building the system. I'm not here to sell you a tool. I'm here to build the system that turns your traffic into pipeline, and your pipeline into closed deals. Send me a URL and the problem you're trying to solve. I'll tell you within a day if I can help.

Let's open with testimonials from a couple of previous clients: "Thank you so much for this! You're nothing short of amazing at your profession. I'm sitting here wondering, how many more customers we could have gotten if I had reached out to you sooner ;) I won't make that mistake again." - Alex Dagil, Rent Hero, Denmark “Great understanding of our product, quick in response, highly recommended, and definitely we will work again.” - Dimitri Kourasis, SPOBI, Germany. You want to win people over. You want to build confidence in yourself and your business, be seen as an authority, get found online and make more sales. I started my copywriting career on Upwork a few years ago. I showed people how I'd solve their needs or problems and built up a great run of successful jobs. Earned the 'Rising Star' badge and a 99% job satisfaction score. But then I focused on direct clients and went on to take a role at a dynamic agency. However, times change and I'm back! :) The only problem is, my scores were over two years old, and so no longer count. So, I'm working hard to build it all back up again! Want my complete, experienced focus on your job? You got it. As a creative copy writer who understands SEO, AI, UX and brand, I write text for websites, landing pages, apps, brochures, case studies, ads, emails, press releases, award entries, social media posts and even complete books. I cover everything from long-form content to short UX copy across the customer's journey. I want your marketing assets to inspire confidence - both in your customers, and yourself. Together, we can create: - Brochures that properly showcase the experience and benefits around your products or property - that reveal the story, the motivation or the 'why'. - Home pages that tell your customers they've come to the right place and that you are the answer to their problem - Landing pages that draw readers in as they progress down the screen and really convert - About pages that speak to the clients' needs rather than just bragging about yourself - Services & products pages that spell out your offer and the benefits, convincing visitors your business has exactly what they need - Blog posts that educate readers about your products or services and show why you're the best at what you do - Page Title Tags and Meta Descriptions to help boost your SEO and catch your customer's eye in the search results page And I can provide proofreading, copy-editing and general website shake-downs to let you know where you can improve People or businesses come to a copywriter when they want to level up and transform. Is your business developing and expanding? Are you excited about change and the future? Got a great product or service? Then we could be a good fit. “Doug, your copy writing skills really are exceptional. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into our website. It’s really appreciated.” - Nicolas Carlton-Smith, Carlton Smith Private Wealth, UK Want people (users, clients, customers) to want what you've got? I can help. My aim is to help you get your promotional material speaking to your target audience, so they’ll want to speak to you too. In my time both freelance and in-house at an agency, I have: - Delivered high-quality copy for websites, emails, landing pages, brochures and ads - Conducted interviews to produce articles, case studies, profile pieces and award entries - Created tone of voice docs, brand manifestos, blog articles and direct marketing materials - Been part of teams that created results like: 127% increase in annual website visits; 4X more job applications; 35X more online enquiries; 86.9% increase in website sessions; 100% increase in website conversions; an average rank increase of 5 positions, and an industry award win. - Worked with two variants of the WordPress CMS to input and structure content - Run ads in Meta and Amazon - Wrote (and narrated!) a couple of video scripts Drop me a line or we can have a quick 5-10 minute call about your needs. Don't be shy, I'll be happy to hear from you :) Speak soon! Doug. PS - Some people are anxious about working with strangers. Not me. I love connecting with real people and working with them to deliver a solution to their challenge. Also, a lot of freelancers don't want to work on Upwork. But I do. It brings me into contact with great people running interesting businesses around the world who I can help. Keep it coming! PPS - If we work together on a larger project, as part of the process I will probably ask you to go through my usual questionnaire. We can do this by email or over the phone. It might seem a little inconvenient, but my better understanding of you and your business, service or product will result in far more effective copy. “An absolute pleasure to work with - and more importantly, fantastic work product. Truly a master at his trade.” - Nedda Ghandi, Ghandi Deeter Blackham Law Offices, Las Vegas
