Testimonials

The benefits of working with Marketing Words, Inc. are evident in the
client comments you see here.

"Karon, thanks a million...literally! $1.84MM dollars in revenue from four, count em--four little landing pages. The ones you wrote. Using only email marketing, AdWords, and your four landing pages I built a business that previously didn't exist for my client. Because of this success, other retailers started are pining to sell a product that was previously unsellable. As you can image, my clients are very happy!" -- Matt DeYoung, 10-Spaces Consulting, Inc.

"As a local veterinarian, I knew I needed a website to reach new clients. I wasn't sure how to go about creating one that communicated the unique attributes of my practice and also ranked high in the search engines. Karon at Marketing Words was a big help! She did the keyword research, tag creation and wrote copy that really shows just how much we care about our four-legged patients. Within a short time of making the copy live, we landed high rankings for several important search terms. I'm very pleased."

I had tried writing copy for my website but it always sounded flat. Karon truly captures the look and feel of our website and writes copy that makes our website stand out from the others. Her understanding of Search Engine Ranking and knowledge of good SEO practices has been very helpful. I use Karon and her team at Marketing Words for all my copy and highly recommend them.

“I can’t say I was skeptical, but I was nervous about hiring a copywriter for the first time. I was hopeful, but also wasn’t expecting any miracles. The results have far exceeded my expectations. Hiring Karon to rewrite the ProviderWatch copy was money very well spent…no, not spent…money well invested. To see these kinds of improvements in such a short amount of time is very exciting. We saw a:

52% increase in unique visitors to the site
22% increase in overall sign ups
86% increase in paid subscribers
Steady increase in phone traffic

since we implemented the changes."

Cindy Wren

"I wanted to tell you the good news! It looks like our rankings are improving. We are back in Google and traffic has doubled. We have record high sales for the last two weeks... about 70% higher than our next best selling two-week period ever! Overall, running our site got much easier after adding your copy because people ask fewer questions about where to find information... they are able to sort it out for themselves from the site copy. We previously had about 5-10 e-mails a day on average from perspective customers, now we get AT LEAST 15 A DAY! WOW!! So, in short, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!"

"I just wanted to personally thank you for the fantastic job you did on writing the copy for my Web site. The results have been amazing! Being a brand new retaining wall construction business, with fierce competition, I knew my Web site needed to stand out in a unique and memorable way. Thanks to your talent of working my targeted keywords into my copy, I have ten #1 rankings with both Google and Yahoo, as well as top twenty rankings with another dozen or so keywords. And best of all, in less than a month since my Web site launched, I have already gotten several new jobs that were specifically generated through my Web site. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ll be using your services again very soon as I add more information to the site."

"I have had the privilege of working with Karon Thackston at Marketing Words for a few years on several projects. My websites have improved in rankings because of Karon's professionally written search engine optimized copy. She has also written call to action responses that I use when following up on web leads. The response rates and sales closed ratios generated from the responses Karon wrote have gone up tremendously."

"Sales tripled after we added your copy! Usually around 10 online bookings over the weekend. Last weekend had 30! Also, Google re-indexed and the home page moved up [two positions] for our primary keyphrase. It has a great lead-in on the search page, too.”

"I have used Marketing Words for most of the "important” content of our website and I am thrilled with the results. Having used other so-called SEO copywriters, which made zero difference to our rankings, Karon Thackston at Marketing Words has helped achieve higher rankings for our site as well as ensuring that the copy was interesting and not keyword “stuffed."

"At last! I've found a Copywriter who writes articles which I will feel happy enough to publish in my newsletter."

"No wonder I keep asking for your help! You really write strong copy without being overbearing." Debbie Williams, Organized Times

"As the founder of an un-funded startup I needed to locate economical yet cost-effective professional assistance for our PR efforts. I wanted our news releases and articles to deliver exciting messages that would be picked up by the electronic and traditional press globally. To accomplish our goals we knew that our tiny hometown PR budget had to be used very wisely (i.e., highly leveraged).

After reviewing several proposals from on-line and traditional PR houses, we felt very discouraged. The various projected costs and expenses to create and distribute RTT's message were many times our budget. However, we then heard about Karon Thackston at Marketing Words, Inc. Karon seemed to intuitively ask all the right questions and quickly suggested a very reasonable custom "pay-as-we-grow" PR program. They even provided a list of free press distribution services!"

-Craig Linden, President of RealTimeTouch

Copywriting Coaching

"Every coaching session I've had with Karon has shown
me a nuance about writing copy I never knew existed. A few sessions in
I could finally see how to assemble the invisible structure behind sales copy.

Before working with Karon I was just down right anxious about writing sales copy.
I read lots of books, but was just a spectator watching from the sidelines.

Karon's coaching sessions took me off the sidelines and put me in the game.
Instead of theory or practice she helped me with actual client work
as a way to learn copywriting.

There's a depth to persuasive copy only experience can reveal.
In a way, having Karon as a coach is like putting her 25 years
experience as a copywriter to work for me.

After a few months of coaching with Karon I'm writing with more confidence than ever.
I know it takes practice to get better. But it's freeing to just trust her
copywriting method all the way from research to editing.
And it works. My sales prove it.
