Hi, I’m Ayesha Atif, a top-rated content writer and copywriter who specializes in driving real business growth through strategic, SEO-focused copy. I’ve helped 500+ clients boost their organic traffic by 30–120%, increase engagement by 25–60%, and improve conversions by 2x–4x across blogs, websites, landing pages, and product content. My approach is simple: write content that attracts the right audience, builds trust fast, and guides readers toward taking action, whether that’s buying, booking, or subscribing. It’s why more than 70% of my clients return for long-term work. If you want content that ranks and increases sales, I’m here to help. Don’t have time to read it all? Feel free to message me or schedule a call to discuss your project directly. *** I exclusively provide human-written content and include proof of authenticity through Copyleaks AI checks. Using additional or alternative AI detection tools will incur extra charges. Please note that Grammarly may also flag content in AI checks!*** With over 10 years of professional experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what clients truly need when seeking a skilled content or copywriter. The one thing I’ve learned well is that a typical “content writer” doesn’t cut it anymore. You need someone who can create diverse content types, support you with preliminary keyword research, produce optimized titles, knows on-page SEO, and assist you with blog management. Most importantly, you want content that is original, strategic, and crafted by a human, not the generic copy produced by ChatGPT and similar AI tools. Here’s what I can help you with: • Blog writing • Website content • eBook writing and formatting • Product descriptions • Social media content • Newsletters etc. I apply SEO best practices to all blog posts and articles, ensuring appropriate use of internal and external links, along with fully optimized elements such as meta titles, meta descriptions, H1s, H2s, and relevant images. My copywriting approach is backed by in-depth competitor analysis, industry research, and a strong understanding of current market trends. By grasping those aspects before beginning the writing process, I ensure a consistent brand voice that engages your audience and encourages conversions. Storytelling is the foundation of great eBook writing, and also one of my specialties. I handle the full process: creating the outline, writing the complete manuscript, formatting, and preparing it for publication on your chosen platform. If you need product descriptions for Amazon, Shopify, or any other platform, I can craft conversion-focused copy. Additionally, I can upload it to your CMS (e.g., Shopify, Squarespace, WordPress) while adhering to the SEO requirements of your chosen tool/plugin. I can work seamlessly with clients through tools such as Asana, ClickUp, Trello, Monday and more. I’m also highly proficient in NeuronWriter and SurferSEO for SEO-optimized content creation, and fully equipped to meet Yoast and Rank Math guidelines. While I prioritize original, human-written content, I can work with AI-generated drafts and humanize them. I can also produce content using AI, if requested, and tweak and improve it later for brand voice consistency, value, coherence, and credibility. Whether you’re an established business looking to refresh your existing content or a startup preparing to launch your content strategy, I’m here to handle it all for you. Feel free to message me to discuss your project or set up a time to connect. I’m currently available.

I offer you proven talent, demonstrable skills, and finesse in English. I'm an Australian editor and proofreader with deep experience and very high standards. From blogs to books, I am your secret sauce! I will significantly improve your content and raise the quality and impact of your writing. I give far more positive results than you can achieve with AI as your main tool. I am an agile, versatile wordsmith—a creative copy editor with exam certification as a proofreader. I am (hopefully)—your new hire—and here, in a nutshell, are some more good reasons why: In an eclectic 30-year in-house career in Sydney and London, I held various roles in magazine, newspaper, and book publishing, settling in the medical sector, with editorial work a constant thread. I am educated to postgraduate level and have proofread dozens of medical textbooks for the global science publisher Elsevier since 2008. Medical content is a constant and current theme in my career. I also have experience writing news articles, blogs, social media posts, and newsletters. I copy edit books, reports, academic papers, and social media posts. I am familiar with SEO and have experience with WordPress, Yoast, SurferSEO, and Dibbly. I often humanize AI-generated text and do not utilize the technology in my creative output unless you ask me to. Let me know what work you need doing and I will reply pronto! Warm regards, Sarah :)
