What You Can Build

Marketing Team Polish

Marketing teams can submit landing page copy, email sequences, or ad copy for systematic improvement before launch. The seven-sweep framework catches issues that get missed in rushed reviews.

Founder-Led Content Review

Founders writing their own copy can get expert feedback on clarity, emotional impact, and conversion elements without hiring a professional editor.

Agency Quality Assurance

Digital agencies can use this as a final QA pass before delivering copy to clients, ensuring consistency and catching last-minute issues.

Best Practices

  • Run all seven sweeps sequentially; do not skip any even if copy seems clean
  • After each sweep, loop back to verify previous sweeps were not compromised by new edits
  • Read copy aloud during the Voice and Tone sweep to hear inconsistencies your eyes might miss

Avoid

  • Do not rewrite copy to match your personal style; preserve the author's voice
  • Avoid making edits without explaining why each change improves the copy
  • Do not add claims or proof you cannot verify; ask the user for supporting evidence instead

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this skill and the copywriting skill?
Use copywriting to create new copy from scratch. Use copy-editing to review and improve existing copy. If you just wrote a first draft, switch to this skill for the polish pass.
Do I need to provide brand guidelines?
Brand guidelines help but are not required. If you do not provide them, I will maintain the voice and tone present in your existing copy and note any inconsistencies I find.
Can you edit technical documentation?
This skill is optimized for marketing and conversion copy. For technical documentation, the editing principles apply but the focus on emotional triggers and conversion may not be appropriate.
How much of my copy will you change?
The goal is enhancement, not rewriting. I preserve your core message and voice while fixing clarity issues, adding specificity, and strengthening conversion elements. You approve all changes.
What if I disagree with an edit recommendation?
All recommendations are suggestions. You own the final copy. I explain the reasoning behind each edit so you can make informed decisions about what to accept.
Can you edit copy in languages other than English?
This skill is optimized for English marketing copy. Editing other languages may be less effective due to nuances in voice, tone, and cultural context that the framework does not account for.
