Product copy that converts, not just describes.

I write product descriptions for UK ecommerce brands. SEO-mapped, voice-consistent product copy with batch pricing across full ranges. AI for pace, human for polish.

Send a brief How it works
The problem

Why most product descriptions briefs go wrong.

Three patterns I see in almost every rescue project. If two of these sound familiar, the brief (not the writer) is usually the bottleneck.

01

Feature dumps

"100% cotton, machine washable, available in three colours." Specs without story. Reads like an Amazon listing because it is one.

02

Voice drift

Twenty products written by six freelancers across two years. The catalogue reads like six different brands.

03

No search intent

Descriptions written for the buyer who's already on the page. Nothing for the Googler trying to find it.

What\'s included

Everything in a typical project.

One quote, one writer, one timeline. No à la carte upsells, no surprise add-ons.

01

Voice doc first.

A 2-page voice guide locked before any product copy. Every description after this reads like one brand.

02

Three copy lengths.

Short (≤80 chars), medium (≤180 chars), long (120–200 words). For listing, card and PDP use.

03

SEO meta included.

Title tag and meta description per product. Keyword + intent checked against your category structure.

04

Batch pricing.

Per-product rate drops sharply over 20 products. Full catalogues quoted on a flat-fee basis.

05

CSV-ready handover.

Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce or BigCommerce CSV format. Imports cleanly.

06

One revision per product.

Tracked changes in Docs or Sheets. Most products don't use it.

How it runs

Four steps, no surprises.

You always know what’s next. Each step gates the next. Nothing moves forward until you sign off the step before.

1

Voice doc

A short shared voice doc: tone, vocabulary, do-and-don't list. Approved before any product writing.

2

Sample batch

I write five products as a calibration batch. You approve voice + structure before the rest.

3

Full rollout

Remaining products written in batches of 20. Each batch reviewed before the next.

4

CSV handover

Final delivery in your platform's import format. SEO meta included on every product.

Questions

Common product descriptions questions.

How do you handle my existing voice?+
A short voice doc up front. I review existing top-performers, your social, and your founder's comms, then write a do-and-don't guide. You approve it before any product copy starts.
Do you handle category and collection pages too?+
Yes. Quoted separately as they're mini landing pages, not product copy. Usually £180–£250 per collection page including SEO meta.
Can you import directly into Shopify / Woo / Magento?+
I deliver CSVs in your platform's native import format and walk your dev or admin through the import. I don't do the import myself for security reasons.
What if products change between batches?+
You flag changes per batch. Updates within a written batch are free; changes after sign-off are billed at the per-product rate.
Do you write in multiple languages?+
English (UK + US) only. For other languages I pair with a translator I trust. Easier to brief a translator off my finished English than to brief multiple writers.
