What are the benefits of business copyediting services?
Edited content gets better business results.
Whether communicating products, services, business results, policies or an idea, your main aim is conveying your central message effectively to achieve results.
Professional editors work to your brief and in-house style guide. They apply standard guidelines, or can craft one to suit your needs. Editors spot and refine the key points you want clients to hear, understand and remember.
Edited work best showcases your brand.
Express your personality, and you’ll engage your audience. A professional copyeditor will polish and perfect the marketing materials that tell your story in your voice.
They’ll help hone your strengths and ensure your content explains what makes your business special, positioning your brand as memorable and distinct from your competitors.
Get noticed for your ideas, not a misplaced typo.
Don’t let embarrassing errors boost your chances of being noticed for the wrong reasons. Copyeditors eliminate grammar and spelling mistakes even the best commercial spellcheckers miss.
Also, because you’re often too close to your writing to review it yourself, it pays to have a specialist edit your content with fresh, objective eyes.
Editing saves time to focus on the things you do best.
You know the saying, ‘time is money’. Hiring a professional copyeditor frees up valuable time so you can focus on delivering business goals and outcomes.
You can be confident of receiving a polished piece of writing - on time and within budget.
Editing boosts your SEO rankings.
Your writing team can create compelling content every day, but your targeted audience may never even see it unless your text is edited with SEO in mind. Our specialist editors are SEO experts.
They’ll include SEO characteristics (keywords, sentence length, title structure) to increase traffic and lift your content in Google rankings.

What is heavy copyediting? Does my business need it?
The core levels of editing—proofreading, copyediting and heavy (structural or content) editing—are defined by the peak bodies of professional editors globally.
Heavy editing differs from copyediting (fine-detailed editing for correctness, clarity, accuracy and consistency) and proofreading (the final, quality control edit).
‘Bigger picture’ editing is the best way to describe heavy editing. Your text’s overall content, style or structure are improved through significant restructuring, rewriting and/or word reduction.
