If you're in marketing for a smaller business, chances are you're expected to wear a wide array of hats. You're often expected to be a designer, copywriter, video editor, content creator, strategist, advertiser and social media manager. And, while you've most likely become adept at juggling so many roles, you know how important it is to stay on top of each.
These days, we're realizing how much of a hand copywriting plays in conversions. Whether it's a headline or a landing page, copywriting is a big part of what draws our potential consumers in. Thankfully, there are tools that can help us all pretend that we're pro copywriters! We've reviewed a few of our favorites below.

The ability to create so many different types of copy while also being mindful of audience and keywords is the biggest draw for us. The integration options are an unexpected bonus.
