Top 5 Reasons Your Business Needs a Copywriter (More Than You Think!)

Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank screen, wondering what to write for your website, blog or newsletter? Maybe you’ve thought “Should I invest in a copywriter? Is it worth it?"

These are perfectly valid questions. In this post, I’ll explain what a copywriter actually does – and share my top five reasons why investing in a copywriter can help your business.

What Does a Copywriter do?

Firstly, let’s take a look at what a copywriter does.  Essentially, a copywriter writes text, known as “copy”. Whether it’s website content, blog posts, emails or product descriptions, a copywriter’s job is to grab attention and guide readers towards taking action – like making a purchase, subscribing to a newsletter, or clicking that “Learn More” button.   

Think of them as sales professionals who wield the power of the written word.

Here are my Top 5 Reasons for Hiring a Copywriter:

1.     Helps Boost Search Rankings (SEO - Search Engine Optimisation)

Ever Googled something and clicked on one of the top results? That’s SEO doing its job.

SEO is about understanding what your customers are searching for, the keywords that they use, the questions they ask, and the type of content they want to find. It’s about creating content that search engines find valuable in order for it to appear within search results.

Search engines will prioritise quality and it’s important to avoid “keyword stuffing”. This is when search engines detect the use of too many keywords, which could lead to being penalised. This means lower search rankings, or the content could be removed from search engine results altogether!

A good copywriter knows how to weave the right keywords into your content, and understands how to strike the perfect balance between the number of keywords used and producing reader-friendly content.

2.     Deliver Consistent, Engaging Content

Whether it’s email marketing campaigns, newsletters, blog posts, or fliers  – creating and planning good content takes time.

A copywriter brings expertise in developing a content strategy that aligns with your business goals, ensuring a steady stream of material. Consistency is key for building brand loyalty, establishing authority, and driving long-term results. Instead of sporadic rushed content, a copywriter can deliver a reliable flow of valuable information that keeps audiences coming back for more, ultimately fostering stronger relationships and encouraging action.

3.     Attract Customers and Boost Business

The goal of any business is to attract customers and drive growth. A copywriter understands this fundamental principle and can write copy that's designed to achieve those objectives.

By creating compelling narratives, highlighting key benefits, and using persuasive language, a copywriter can help boost sales.  

4.     Fresh Perspectives and Creative Ideas

A fresh pair of eyes can bring a different perspective and often generate new, creative ideas.

Copywriters can often identify opportunities you might have missed, and unlock new ways to connect with your audience.

5.     Saves You Time

And finally, let’s not forget that content writing takes time, and as a business owner your time is valuable. You have a huge “To Do” list, why not pass the job on to a copywriter?

Freeing up your time enables you to focus on what you do best…running your business.

Investing in a copywriter isn't just an expense; it's an investment in your growth.
