COPY PLAYBOOK

Copy editing

Tightens copy you already have so it reads like a person who knows the work. Use it before you publish, or when a live page feels wordy or generic.

CopyVersion 1.0.16 steps

What it fixes

Wordy, vague copy loses the reader before they reach the phone number. A buyer on a phone gives a page a few seconds. We sweep your text in order: the point first, proof for each claim, your customers' words, plain verbs, short paragraphs. Each edit comes with a reason, and the facts stay yours. Nothing is added to fill space, and when in doubt we cut. We read booked estimates against your baseline after it goes live and promise no lift in advance.

You ask
Here's our deck-building page for Houston before it goes live. It feels long and a bit stiff. Is it ready?
The playbook delivers

Verdict: ready with edits, because the opening paragraph hides the price range and two claims have no proof. The edit list shows each change with its reason, the must-fix items first. You get the clean version to paste and three open items, including the permit timeline you need to confirm.

How it runs in a larger operation

When many people write for many locations, quality drifts. Every page and message is checked against one standard and one voice, with proof for each claim. A named person approves what publishes, and the edit log shows what changed and why.

  • One standard applied to every location page
  • Each claim checked against a proof record
  • Edit history kept for every published page

Questions owners ask

Will you change our message?

No. We keep your meaning and your facts. We fix wording and flag gaps.

Can you edit a page that is already live?

Yes, once the write path is approved. We read the page back from the live site afterwards.

When do you edit and when do you rewrite?

We edit when the draft holds up. We say plainly when a piece needs a full rewrite instead.
