    The Benefits of Leveraging a Content Editing Service

    Choosing the path of least resistance is human nature. In today’s volatile market, content marketers must create savvy, engaging, and informative content in the easiest, most frugal way possible. If doing more with fewer resources means adding a lot of tasks to a writer’s plate, brands risk increasing the potential for errors and decreasing the quality of a piece. 

    Polished content that speaks directly to a potential customer can mean the difference between someone clicking through your site or clicking on your competitor’s. Content is your audience’s first impression of your brand, and you only get one chance to make it good. 

    According to Website Planet, the bounce rates of landing pages with grammar and spelling errors were 85% higher than those that were correctly written. Ouch. If your content’s not structurally sound, how can you build a solid foundation with your customers? Clear communication matters, and effective content editing directly benefits your business.

    Improve Readability and SERP Rankings

    An expert content editing service can significantly improve your content’s readability, which in turn appeals to Google’s ranking factors. The more smoothly your content flows and the more directly it answers search intent, the better your readability score will be. An ideal readability score of 60 or higher will keep your intended audience on your site for longer and positively impact your SEO.

    Save Hours In Your Content Process

    Combing content for accuracy, clarity, and creativity takes dedication and time. Scanning for proofreading errors takes a village. Partnering with a content editing service alleviates your team’s bandwidth so their skills can be better spent in strategic ideation and execution for other lead-generation projects. Outsourcing your editing needs to a trusted partner saves you hours of valuable time, energy, and sanity.

    Strengthen Brand Trust and Authority

    Copyediting, line editing, and proofreading all help ensure that quality content is created with people in mind first, instead of search engines. The fewer errors your content contains, the more signals Google receives that your brand creates reliable, trustworthy content. Publishing edited content that speaks to your topics with the utmost accuracy adds authoritativeness to your messaging — boosting your E-E-A-T.

    Add a Human Touch To AI Content

    When creating content with AI tools, it is crucial that professional editors review AI-generated messaging before it goes out into the world. A content editor’s attention to detail helps ensure your final drafts are readable by people, not machines. By leveraging a content editing service alongside these new technologies, you receive all the time-saving benefits generative AI provides while eliminating inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
