Hire the Best Feature Writers in Jacksonville, FL

Content is supposed to do a job. It should show up when buyers search, get picked up in AI-generated answers, and move the right person closer to a decision. If it’s not doing that, the problem usually isn’t the writing itself. It’s the strategy underneath it. I start with keyword research, search intent, and E-E-A-T alignment before a single word gets drafted, because that is what shapes whether a piece has a real chance to rank or just gets published and goes nowhere. Over the last 7 years I've seen the same pattern: brands invest in content consistently, performance stays flat because the structure, targeting, and intent behind the content is not aligned with how people actually search. That's the work I do. I identify what's underperforming, find the gaps competitors are quietly owning, and build content that closes them. Structured for Google, readable, positioned to surface in LLM-powered results like Perplexity and SGE. I work with SaaS companies, B2B brands, and content teams that need content driving real outcomes organic traffic, lead generation, and search authority. Not just output. You won't need to walk me through basic SEO or manage the process step by step. I take ownership and deliver content that earns its place on the page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⟣ WHAT I DELIVER REGULARLY ⟢ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • SEO blog posts built around keyword research and search intent • Long-form content designed for organic traffic growth • On-page SEO optimization (titles, meta descriptions, headers, internal linking) • Clear H1–H3 structure with strong readability and flow • Content aligned with EEAT and Google’s Helpful Content standards • Blog optimization and content updates for better ranking performance • Research-backed articles with fact-checking and real value ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⟣ SEO & CONTENT APPROACH ⟢ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I combine content writing with SEO strategy using tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Google Analytics to: • Perform SEO keyword research and content gap analysis • Improve search engine ranking through structured content • Optimize content SEO and on-page SEO performance • Align content with user intent and conversion goals ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⟣ WHO I WORK WITH ⟢ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ SaaS companies building organic traffic through blog content ✔ B2B brands focused on lead generation and authority ✔ Startups and agencies scaling content marketing efforts ✔ Teams that need structured, strategy-driven SEO content ✔ Personal brands that need real engagement ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⟣ TO GET STARTED ⟢ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Send me: 📌 Your topic or target keywords 📌 Your content goals (traffic, ranking, leads, etc.) 📌 Your target audience 📌 Your timeline 📌 Any references or competitors If you’re building a blog strategy, scaling SEO content, or trying to turn your content into a real growth channel, I can help you create content that actually performs.

SUMMARY Experienced line/copy editor and proofreader with an affinity for fiction and a desire to work with self-publishing authors. I am the owner of Bird and Bear Editorial Services. I enjoy reading and editing romance, fantasy, thriller/suspense, and dystopian YA. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. The hourly fee doesn't truly capture how I work, so here's what I'm offering as a line editor and proofreader-- *Proofreading: After it has been professionally edited, I'll check for lingering errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and continuity ($8 per 1000 words) *Line/copyediting: Correcting errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, continuity, and redundancy, plus light revisions/rewriting at the sentence level, and light fact-checking ($14 per 1000 words). Things I will not be responsible for: *Heavy fact-checking (historical, geographical, highly technical, etc.), formatting, flow, heavy revisions/rewriting at the paragraph/chapter level, character/plot development or opinions My editing contract includes 2 full passes of the document (and 1 follow-up of comments) with Track Changes enabled in Word so that you maintain control of your product and there is full transparency.

I specialize in content rewriting and fast editorial cleanup for AI-written, rushed, or unfocused content that needs to be publish-ready. If you have a draft that sounds generic, bloated, or “almost there,” I fix structure, clarity, and tone so it reads like it was written by a competent human with judgment. My work is especially useful when: – Content was generated with AI and needs de-roboting – An article, report, or web page is close to deadline – Multiple revisions have made the piece messy or incoherent I focus on editing and revision. That means tighter arguments, cleaner flow, fewer credibility risks, and a finished product you can publish with confidence. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours, depending on length and complexity. I work on a flat-fee basis for most projects.
