Web copy
Web design is great but it’s the words on your website that bring clients to you. Unless your website can be found by Google, you’re not going to get many visitors. And if your copy is badly written, any visitors you get won’t hang around for long.
That’s where I come in. I write SEO-optimised web content for your health or medical website, focusing around your keywords, so search engines (and everyone using them) can find you.
However, when it comes to websites, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’. Each website needs individually tailored web copy, that is search-engine friendly, and compelling to your clients.
Whether your business, is small, medium, or large, I can improve the health of your website, so your ideal clients can find you.
Why choose me?
- I’m an experienced health and medical copywriter, so understand the importance of connecting with patients and the wider community.
- I’m trained in SEO copywriting, which means I can help you with keyword research and write SEO-optimised copy that not only speaks to your target audience, but Google as well. In other words, the copy I write will help you climb the Google rankings. You can read about how I climbed to the top of Google, using the same techniques I’ll use on your website.
- I’ve written for peak health organisations and global companies including The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Macular Disease Foundation Australia, TerryWhite Chemmart, Bupa, Carers Australia and many more. I’ve also written for small and medium sized businesses.
- I have many happy clients.
- I deliver high-quality work, can make complex topics easy to understand, am reliable, easy to work with and will meet your deadlines.

Frequently asked questions
Why do you charge less for small businesses than you do for corporates?
Working with small businesses is usually a lot quicker and easier because I’m working directly with the business owner. Corporations usually require more briefing time, more discussion time and more revisions – usually with multiple people. Some larger health organisations also need to get approval from medical boards, or may even involve user-group testing. This makes the process more complex and takes longer.
How long does it take?
Usually, I can get a first draft of a 5-page website done in a week, after the briefing and discussion process is complete. We then have 14 days to make revisions and polish the copy.
Why is keyword research extra?
Some clients come to me with keyword research already done, so it’s not really fair to charge them for a service they don’t need. Researching the right short- and long-tail keywords for your website is a skill that takes time.
What is a TOV and why do I need one?
TOV builds customer trust, strengthens your brand, showcases your brand values and helps you build connections with your customers. It also makes writing your web copy (and any other copy) much easier and quicker. All successful businesses invest in developing professional TOV Guidelines and can spend tens of thousands of dollars developing them.
How do I get started?
Head on over to my contact page to send me a message about which package you want. I’ll then get back to you and we can start the briefing process. Please note, that I require 50% of the fee upfront, before I start writing.
I have worked with other copywriters before, but Nerissa has shown true professionalism on my project. I could tell that she took the time to understand my business and the business needs.
Nerissa is now considered part of our team and I look forward to working with her in the years to come.
