Hire the Best Writers in Kansas City, MO

Hey there, I'm Marissa. I write SEO content that actually gets found, whether people are Googling or asking their favorite AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, etc). I've been doing this for 7+ years across e-commerce, real estate, travel, wellness, personal finance, and more, and I have the stats to prove it. One client's site went from 11.6K to 70.8K+ impressions in a year with a solid SEO plan. SEO strategies are built to help you rank on Google AND show up in AI overviews. We'll be a great team if you want someone who: 🌟 Treats your content like it matters (because it does) 🌟 Knows SEO inside out, including AEO, GEO, and what Google is actually rewarding right now 🌟 Shows up, communicates, and delivers on time, every time 🌟 Is a real human who genuinely enjoys this work (rare, I know) I've helped brands increase organic traffic anywhere from 50% to over 300%. I'm your go-to for blog articles, website copy, product descriptions, sales pages- basically anything that needs to rank AND convert. Tools in my kit: SEMrush, Keysearch, Qwoted, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, WordPress, and Canva. Oh, and I'm weirdly good at beauty and wellness listicles. I keep my client roster small on purpose, which means your content gets all the time and attention it needs. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, let's talk.

I'm a versatile blogger who's written for all sorts of niches, with a focus on doing the research and cranking out high quality, SEO savvy content that draws in the right crowd , boosts your search rankings, gives you credibility and gets your brand noticed by the people you really want to talk to.

Native English speaker/writer and published author. Owner and Chief Editor of Novel Treasure Publishing company. (see website at noveltreasurepublishing.com). Having served as a professional editor and writer for more than twelve years now, working with both fiction and nonfiction, my passion revolves around helping authors and publishers find the full potential of their manuscripts. I have an excellent eye for detail, and with my extensive background as both a ghostwriter and editor, I can be depended upon to offer professional guidance at every turn, eliminate errors and inconsistencies, and meet all deadlines. My clients are best-selling and award-winning authors, established publishers, and managers at Fortune Global 500 companies from all over the world. Experience the magic of your writing through an audience (reader)-centered empathy combined with editing strategies that attract more readers, bring on conversion power, and convey stories that stay with readers long after the last page has been turned. Specializing in longer story manuscripts, I help clients divide huge manuscripts into trilogies or series novels. I also edit to keep writing style, tone, characterizations, perspectives, dialogue punctuation, and other consistencies in place over the long haul. Such tasks involve tracking story development through many details in long written works and ensuring effective transitional writing. I also work as a writing coach, matching my talents to my clients' needs. I hire out as a 'book fixer' more often than as a ghostwriter. This means that I work through an already completed novel, elevating the writing and 'fixing' issues that come up in relation to the story, character, pacing, genre, etc. When it comes to nonfiction, I take on very few ghostwriting positions, and generally only consider projects where an author has already developed a fair amount of content that I can work from in terms of content, voice, and style. In each of these roles, I only take on projects that suit my skills--so, if you ask me to edit or write in a genre where I have no experience, I'll be the first to tell you I'm not your ideal fit. But, when I do take on a project, you can be sure that it will become a top priority and receive the attention and skill it deserves.
