Blogs and Content Sites Editing and Proofreading Services
Content sites publish faster than any other kind of publisher and revise less. A post goes up, ranks, earns for three years, and is never read again by anyone who works there — while the product it recommends is discontinued, the price it quotes doubles, and the law it summarises is amended. The traffic keeps arriving. Most of what damages a content business is not a bad article; it is a good article that stopped being true and stayed online with a confident tone and no date.
We edit what publishers, agencies and independent operators produce — articles, guides and long-form explainers, product roundups and comparison pieces, affiliate and sponsored content with their disclosures, editorial standards and contributor guidelines, freelancer briefs and style guides, category and hub page copy, newsletter and social versions of published pieces, about and author biography pages, review methodology statements, correction and update policies, terms of use and privacy pages, and pitch and rate documentation for contributors. Our editors check that claims are attributed, that disclosures sit where the reader meets the recommendation, and that the site's voice survives a rotating cast of freelancers.
The update stamp is the highest-leverage convention a content site can adopt and one of the least used honestly. Most sites either omit dates entirely, on the theory that undated content looks perennially fresh, or refresh the date automatically when anything on the page changes, which is worse — a reader who checks a price against a "last updated" date three days old and finds it wrong learns not to trust anything else on the site. We rewrite these conventions so the page carries both the original publication date and the date of the last substantive review, so "substantive" is defined for the people doing the reviewing, so what was checked is stated in one line rather than implied, and so anything that has genuinely gone stale is corrected or the page is retired rather than restamped. Sites that do this well can say what they verified and when, which is the only durable advantage available in a category where everyone else is claiming to be current.
Everything you send is treated in confidence, including unpublished drafts, commercial arrangements and traffic data. We are editors rather than legal, financial or SEO advisers, and we offer no view on the accuracy of any claim or on disclosure obligations in your jurisdiction. What we can do is make the writing clear, consistent across contributors, and honest about what it knows.
