WORDS HAVE POWER

The right words can improve your ranking, create sentiment, drive behaviour, and persuade visitors to convert.

Working with a copywriter like me, armed with years of crafting compelling narratives for stellar websites and delighted clients, means you're in the most capable hands. 

I dive deep into the core of your business, the nuances of your industry, and the hearts of your audience to craft content that speaks to your customers and inspires action at the click of a button.

My journey to becoming an SEO copywriter

I’m Renee, an SEO copywriter specialising in writing words that work for your business. I started my career in marketing at the ripe old age of 18, fresh out of high school in Brisbane. I worked in the professional services industry before escaping the insulation of my comfort zone and expanding my creative mind through travel.

Nearly two decades later, I'm still exploring the world. I’ve travelled, lived and studied globally, working my way up in the marketing ranks. 

I took on some impressive corporate gigs, such as Head of Marketing and CMO in the food, wine, agriculture, and renewable energy sectors.

COVID was pivotal for many of us, and my perspective on success shifted. I no longer saw success as something I owned but rather as something I should share. I took a giant leap of faith and launched my brand, Make Words Work, to direct my 20+ years of experience to help small businesses grow.

Throughout my career, my interest in SEO increased as the algorithms got more intelligent and good copywriting became fundamental in digital success. Nowadays, Google has become the central source of truth, with more than 60,000 search queries every second. Launching Make Words Work gave me the perfect opportunity to combine my love of writing with my knowledge of SEO.

My happy clients
  • Sarah - Owner - PPL Centrik

    Renee was a pleasure to work with in creating my business website, PPL Centrik. Having never done this before, Renee led me through the process by asking me really great questions to get to know me and my business. She then transformed this into content that represented my brand. She provided great advice and went over and above in the overall launch of my website. I would highly recommend her for SEO copywriting.

  • Michelle - Owner - Murphy’s of Healesville

    Renee came highly recommended for her local SEO services, and we were delighted with her work. We desperately needed professional marketing after battling through the COVID lockdowns in Victoria. Renee created clever campaigns using her design skills and bright and engaging wording. 

    On her initiative, Renee identified that we needed to develop a five-year business plan, which was well beyond what we had asked her to do. She identified improvement areas and oversaw the transition, upgrading our website to take advantage of an SEO makeover. We highly recommend Renee for her expertise.
