About Me

Hi, I’m Sam, an experienced financial copywriter dedicated to producing high-calibre finance content.

I’m passionate about modern digital content. Obsessed, in fact. And I think it’s seriously underrated.

Underrated as the most powerful driver in bringing people to your business. In telling them who you are and what you stand for. In turning them into customers.

Good writing – one of your biggest assets, one of your smallest investments.

Working in the Financial Services industry over the last decade with IFAs, international banks, online stockbrokers, mortgage brokers, and more, I have a solid track record and a wealth of knowledge at your disposal.

So, I get what compliance boxes you need to tick. I get how financial products work. And I get what your customers are looking for. Oh, and I know what Google wants from your content too, if that’s your game plan.

If you’re looking for top-tier finance copywriting for your business, let’s talk. I’d love to learn more about your goals.

My Services

Finance Content

From how-to guides to product landing pages. From loans and mortgages to stocks and trading. And everything in between… I’m very familiar with financial products, so you don’t need to spend your time explaining them to me.

On-Page SEO

SEO is always at the forefront (if you need it to be). I’m talking in-depth SERP analysis, search intent alignment, SEO-optimised headings, FAQ goldust, etc. etc.

But I don’t write for Google – I write for the reader. Which just so happens to be what Google loves too…

Off-Page SEO

I can help with your broader SEO strategy, too. From keyword research to topic clustering. From structured data (schema) to link building. I love sharing ideas. Let’s talk about it! 

Who I’ve Worked With

My Process

Getting to know you

I start by understanding your goals: what do you want to achieve with your content? Is it website traffic? E-mail marketing conversions? Clear and user-friendly product guides?

Then, I ask you about your products and services, your expertise and credentials, your brand and tone of voice, and what makes you unique – all so important for your content.

Research & Planning

“Intent” is everything. Both the intent of you as a business and the intent of your readers.

Before I start writing, I know: why people searched for your content, why they’re reading it, what they want from it (even if they don’t know yet), and how to sell the solution – which is (hopefully) you!

SEO & UX

Google loves ‘helpful content’.

Helpful content is clearly laid out, answers the right questions (properly), uses tables, infographics and videos, is jargon-free (where it needs to be), and, perhaps most importantly, ticks the E-E-A-T boxes (Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trust).

I don’t do SEO ‘shortcuts’ or ‘hacks’. I write helpful content, and Google likes this because readers like it.

Pricing

I like to keep things simple and transparent.

 

But, every project is different.

So if you’d like to propose a pricing structure or a long-term project, please get in touch.

The Importance of Good Finance Copywriting

Financial content doesn’t have to be dry, convoluted, or monotonous. In fact, it shouldn’t be.

Yes, the finance world is packed with intricate products and industry-specific language. But a skilled finance copywriter can translate these into digestible, engaging content.

Content that doesn’t just inform, but truly resonates with your audience.

Expert Knowledge, Simplified

 

The essence of good copywriting is communication. It’s not about flaunting industry lingo to prove expertise. It’s about conveying complex information simply and clearly.

A good finance writer is intimately familiar with its rules, language, and products. They know how to untangle complicated concepts – bridging the gap between your financial expertise and your audience’s understanding.

Trust in Finance – More Important Than Ever

 

Trust is the cornerstone of any financial transaction, and you probably know this more than anyone.

If your audience doesn’t trust you, they won’t do business with you.

A strong finance copywriter doesn’t just tell your audience to trust you – they show it. Through expert, authoritative, and trustworthy content, they build credibility for your brand.

 

Let’s Talk SEO

 

And then there’s SEO.

If you want organic traffic, your content needs to be up to date with the latest SEO principles and algorithm changes. E-E-A-T and ‘helpful content’ are the hot topics at the moment, particularly in the highly regulated finance industry. You need schema, backlinks, topical authority and demonstrable experience, to name a few key focal points.

But most importantly, SEO needs to be balanced with engaging, quality content. The kind of content that’s easy to read and keeps people around until they make a decision.

Google is looking at behaviour metrics and user engagement with your site – so you should be too. If you’re not utilising Microsoft Clarity insights and Google Analytics data, you’re falling behind.

The Bottom Line…

 

A solid foundation of content is like having a dedicated salesperson, a PR agent, and a customer service rep working around the clock for your website.

Good content ensures your website is not just a source of information, but a hub of engagement – establishing trust, nurturing leads, and building relationships.
