I’m Megan Wisdom, a firstborn, Enneagram 5 copywriter who loves to help other female entrepreneurs reach their business goals (even more than I love drinking sweet creme lattes}. I got my writing start in the field of journalism before transitioning to the classroom where I taught students how to apply grammar rules and use the Oxford comma until I tossed the textbook and went rogue with my writing. Because copywriting is all about conversation (not complete sentences). Since studying the art and science of copywriting, I have served online women business owners in a variety of fields, helping them write or optimize the words they use to communicate to clients so they can improve sales, support their families, and crush their goals.

Are you tired of your website just sitting there, feeling more like a placeholder than a real extension of your brand? For many business owners, their first website is a “good enough” effort, created quickly and with limited resources, but it can quickly become an embarrassment.
And what if that “good enough” site is actually costing you clients?
In today’s episode, you’ll meet Rachel Verde, a web copy specialist who knows exactly what it takes to make a website stand out in a crowded market. Together, we explore how to shift your website from “meh” to magnetic.
Rachel is a copywriter on a mission to help online entrepreneurs use their words to skyrocket their business and client relationships. She has a background in corporate marketing and uses data to help craft words that make an impact. When she’s not pouring her heart out onto the page–she’s probably barefoot, baking challah bread, and belting out worship songs with her little guy.
Rachel breaks down the unique purposes of each page—like the homepage, about page, and services page—and shares why these sections should do more than just fill space.
You’ll learn:
Why knowing your ideal client is crucial for writing effective website copy that resonates and converts
Simple tweaks to help each page speak authentically to your audience, even if you’re still building confidence in your brand
How strategic opt-ins and high-converting headlines can make all the difference in turning visitors into leads
The biggest mistakes people make on the about page (and how to make yours unforgettable)
Tips for creating long-form content that keeps visitors engaged and coming back
The role of SEO in web copy and how it can boost your visibility in search results
How copywriters can serve as a ‘guidance counselor’ or ‘detective’ for online business owners
The advantages of hiring a professional copywriter to save time and amplify your message
If your website feels like it’s missing something—or even if you’re just starting out—this episode will give you practical insights to build a website that truly represents your business and attracts the clients you want.
