- Drove 3M+ organic Google visits for a Shopify brand in one year, saving $175.2K/month in ad spend. - Helped an enterprise client 3X organic traffic in 11 months. - Doubled an e-commerce store’s organic traffic and grew monthly organic revenue from £1K to £5K+ in 2 months. - Helped a SaaS brand earn transactional citations from AI search and LLMs in 3 months.

I’m a professional writer with 10+ years of experience in SEO content writing, copywriting, and blog writing. I’ve thrived in the SEO industry from the era of keyword-focused text to the stage when content quality and E-E-A-T became the core metrics for ranking. Before I became active on Upwork, I worked with small local businesses, e-commerce brands, digital marketing agencies, and global startups, including TextMagic, Optinmonster, BlueStacks, NordVPN, Niche Website Management (NWM), TrackMage, and Bokksu. I’m happy to share proof of my work experience if needed. I also have a verified HubSpot Content Marketing Certification. 80% of my clients return for ongoing work, and you can see that fact clearly reflected on my Upwork profile. MY SERVICES: - SEO Content Writing: I help websites rank their blog posts and pages using a combination of clear meta descriptions, strategically placed keywords, internal & external linking, human-written quality content, thought leadership content, and on-page search engine optimization. - SEO Copywriting: I turn words into revenue by crafting website copy that generates traffic and drives visitors to take action. Think persuasive product descriptions, blog CTAs, brand storytelling, product landing pages, and local business service pages. - Creative SEO Writing: When you need to stand out in a sea of AI-generated content, I help clients find the sweet spot between pleasing both search engines and human readers, ultimately driving more traffic and conversions to your website. MY TOOLS: - Surfer SEO - SEMrush - Ahrefs - Google Keyword Planner - Google Search Console - WordPress - Google Docs - Google Sheet - MS Excel - ClickUp - Asana - Trello - Shopify - Google Analytics MY NICHE EXPERIENCES (find yours below!) : - e-commerce - SaaS - iGaming - Gambling - Casino - Betting - Gaming - Shipping - Business - Construction - Food - Sports - E-learning - Tech - Travel - Tourism - Marketing - Automation - Lifestyle WHY WORK WITH ME? - SAVE BIG ON AD SPEND: you will rank higher on search engines and increase organic traffic. - GENERATE MORE REVENUE: you will attract better qualified leads and convert more of those leads into paying customers. - GET FOUND BY YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE FASTER: you will create more visible thought leadership content in your brand voice. - ENSURE LASTING SUCCESS: you will enjoy stable income and visibility using a data-driven approach derived from years of testing - NO MISSED DEADLINES: you get a pro who can start immediately and is capable of producing results under strict deadlines. - NO UNNECESSARY EDITS: you will receive articles that are written in native-level English (US or UK) and have been fully proofread and edited.

YouTube channels lose viewers in the first 60 seconds or they keep them for 15 minutes. The difference is almost always the script. I write long-form YouTube scripts for True Crime, Documentary, and Narrative channels that are built to hold attention from the first line to the final frame. Creators and content agencies hire me when they need scripts that feel cinematic, hit the right tone, and deliver on watch time, not just word count. What I specialize in: True crime and dark narrative scripts that build suspense slowly and release it at exactly the right moment. Documentary and discovery-style scripts covering history, mysteries, archaeology, and human stories. Business and finance breakdowns that turn complex strategies into gripping stories. Health, wellness and fitness scripts written for older adult audiences who want real information delivered clearly. AI, tech and SaaS explainer scripts that simplify without dumbing down. Every script I deliver is structured for retention. That means a hook that earns the viewer's attention in the first 30 seconds, pacing checkpoints that re-engage before attention drifts, and an ending that makes the viewer want to click the next video. I also write with the full production team in mind. Scripts are formatted cleanly for voice actors, with natural breathing room in the prose and transitions that cut well for editors. No awkward run-ons. No lines that sound good on paper and fall apart on delivery. My recent work includes scripts for military documentary channels, lifestyle and celebrity channels, true crime content, and ongoing script partnerships with YouTube automation agencies. If your channel needs scripts that actually keep people watching, send me a message and tell me what you are working on.
