Home Page Copy
For the most recent client project, I interviewed the owner of the business about their competitive advantage, why he started the business, and what his digital marketing goals are. I translated everything from the owner’s native Russian to English, did SEO research for keywords, and re-wrote the copy on the home page to fit the brand tone and voice. I also suggested adding new sections to highlight the value of renovations. Since this change, traffic to the website more than doubled thanks also to my launch of a new Google My Business listing.
