Freelance copywriting rates

Why are freelance copywriting rates hard to find?

Many people don’t consider using copywriting services because, after all, they can just write it themselves, can’t they?

However, when you use a copywriter, you are paying not just for the words on the page and the
time it takes to craft those words, but also for experience in understanding how what you say
drives the action you want your customers to take.

Even when you understand the value of investing in copywriting services, it can be hard to know
how much it could cost, as copywriter rates vary considerably, depending on location, experience and the type of service you need. Average UK freelance copywriter rates are c. £380 per day (ProCopywriters, 2020)

So, here are my prices – keeping it simple.

Freelance copywriting rates for website projects

These rates are a little more bespoke. Pricing depends on the complexity of the project and needs to be calculated on a project basis. As a guide though, my freelance copywriting rates are around £175 per page for up to 5-page websites and £150 per page for longer websites. If you require keyword research to be done, this adds £25 per page to the above costs.

These charges include an in-depth interview to discuss the desired outcomes, to understand you, your business and particularly your target client. It includes content research, writing, keyword research (if needed) and 2 rounds of edits.

On average, you can expect each page to take around 4-5 hours to research, draft and edit.
