Copywriting services Manchester: say what you do, then sell it
Web copy, landing pages and ads written in plain English: clear about what you do, honest about why it’s good, and built to convert.
Most business copy fails the simplest test: a stranger reads your homepage for ten seconds and still can’t say what you do, who it’s for or why they should care. The fix isn’t cleverness. It is clarity: saying the thing plainly, in the order a buyer needs to hear it, with proof where the claims are.
We write the copy that carries commercial weight: homepages and service pages, landing pages built for a single conversion, ad copy that earns its click, and the unglamorous-but-vital bits: emails, proposals, case studies. Every piece starts with the same questions: who is reading this, what do they already believe, and what do we need them to do next?
Copywriting works best inside a wider plan, which is why it sits within our content marketing services: the same research that shapes your strategy tells us which words your customers actually use, and those are the words that convert.
What’s included
Website copy
Homepages and service pages that pass the ten-second test: clear, specific and structured to convert.
Landing pages
Single-purpose pages for campaigns and ads, written around one action and stripped of everything else.
Ad copy
Google and social ad variants written to match search intent and tested rather than guessed.
Message & voice
A short, usable guide to what you say and how you say it, so every future word stays consistent.
Customer-language research
Copy built from the words your customers actually use, pulled from reviews, calls and search data.
Revisions included
Two rounds of revisions as standard. We are not precious; we are trying to sell your thing, not win awards.
What our copywriting services cover
The commercial pages first: homepages, service pages and the landing pages your campaigns send traffic to, each structured around one reader and one next step. Then the supporting cast that quietly wins deals: ad variants, emails, proposals and case studies. Everything is built from customer-language research, because the words your buyers use beat the words your industry uses, every time.
Copy and design are one job wearing two hats, which is why we work closely with our web design agency in Manchester: words written for the layout they will live in convert better than words poured into a template afterwards.
Why Manchester businesses hire a copywriter
Because you are too close to it. Every founder can describe their business in detail; almost none can describe it the way a stranger needs to hear it in ten seconds. An outside writer has the one advantage you cannot buy internally: ignorance of the jargon, and no sentimental attachment to the history.
The other reason is compounding spend. Every pound you put into Google Ads or social lands on a page whose words decide whether it converts. Better copy makes every channel you run cheaper at once, which is why it is usually the highest-leverage small project on the list.

- Your ads get clicks but the page they land on loses them

Questions, answered honestly
Can you work alongside our in-house marketing team?
Yes, and it usually helps. We are happy writing to an existing design, briefing your developer, or working alongside an in-house marketer who knows the business far better than we ever will. Copy rarely exists in a vacuum: the more context your team gives us, the sharper it gets.
How long does a copywriting project take?
A landing page in about a week; a full site in two to four weeks including research, drafts and revisions. The research is where the time goes: writing fast is easy once you know exactly what needs saying.
What do you need from us?
An hour or two of your time to talk about your business, access to anything useful (reviews, sales calls, past copy), and honest answers about what makes customers choose you. The best copy is usually assembled from things you already say.
Do you write in our brand voice?
Yes, and if you don’t have one written down, we define it as part of the job. The aim is copy that sounds like the best version of you, not like an agency showing off.
Can you just rewrite what we have?
Often that is exactly the right job. If the structure is sound and the words are the problem, a rewrite is a much smaller job than starting again. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in before any work begins.
