Empowering small business & amplifying sustainable voices through authentic storytelling, words that work, & SEO that stays true to your brands' mission & values.

Your SEO strategist
& website copywriter
wrapped into one

Finally, a partner/contractor/freelancer who gets sustainability.

I work with sustainable and small businesses because I care about sustainability. I care about the planet we’re creating for future generations. Let’s recycle the old, kinda shady, kinda icky ways of SEO & sales-y copywriting in favor of a new sustainable future. 

A future where…
         SEO copywriting can be fun and creative.
         Your website is filled with words that bleed authenticity & realness. 
         Values lead the way and a hard sell is nowhere in sight (or on site).
         SEO strategies grow with your future goals.
         We treat clients like the people they are, not statistics or personas.
         SEO is easy to understand and even easier to implement. 
         There are no gimmick or get-quicks; just smart, ethical strategized SEO 
         The words and content on your site are authentically you, fun, and sustainable. 
         Tailored solutions lead the way because no two brands need the exact same thing
         Greenwashing is nowhere in sight

I speak sustainability and believe your personality and story should jump off the page. Let’s build your online presence and find your conscious consumers via sustainable strategies for sustainable (and small!) businesses. 

Because you don’t have to give up your values and ethics in order to rank well and reach your ideal audience.

A little closer… Okay, hi, I’m Lauren 😀 Cat lover (that’s Cat Perkins in the picture), avid book reader, no sabo Latina in a love/hate relationship with Chicago winters.

I started Copy by LP because I was (am) a sustainable consumer and I wasn’t getting what I needed from brands: real, authentic, & informative websites. As a small business owner looking for SEO tips, I was totally put off by shady & icky SEO tech bros.

So as the kids say, I pivoted. I decided if the tech-bros could do that (and charge that), then I could do it too (but nicer). 

I’m here for the girls (and everyone else) who want to grow your brands without the ick. Without feeling like you’re wading through bullshit. 
My goal is to create real, fun, birthday-wishing relationships with great people — like you! 
  • To treat you, my clients, like people.
  • To lead with kindness, empathy, and authenticity.
  • To always remember we’re just humans and we’re only here for a blip in the time-space continuum. 
  • To make SEO accessible, understandable, and exciting. 

Groundbreaking, I know…


But first, who am I?

But first, an introduction

Come on in, let's get personal!

Not enough stars to give Copy by LP. Our company has benefited tremendously from her thoughtful words and her knowledge about sustainability. Before Copy by LP it was VERY difficult to find someone who understood the sustainability sector and after every call, it was like, "Nope. They don't get it." With Copy by LP we have found the writing partner that we need and enjoy "geeking out" with. If you are on the fence on whether you need Copy by LP---hands down, DO IT.

KIND WORDS

 This was my first experience working with a copywriter and it has been so amazing. From the very beginning, Lauren was extremely professional during our consultation and she made it very easy to understand what her services were and how they would apply to my business. Once we got the ball rolling, she met all deadlines with ease and was very receptive to implementing my feedback when appropriate. Her creativity and ability to capture the voice of the brand really made me feel like I made the right choice. Lauren gets a ten out of ten in my book and I look forward to working with her again.

When was the last time you nope-d out of the page you found through your Google search results ASAP? Was it because of…
  • Bad grammar and poor spelling 
  • Terrible punctuation and paragraph structure
  • A condescending tone
  • Too technical/high-level content
  • Feeling like the writer/brand doesn’t GET you
  • Your question remained unanswered (or too hard to find)
  • Your question didn’t get answered? 
  • All of the above? 

Writing about yourself is hard, I know. Ask me how many times I've rewritten this website. Or considered hiring a copywriter. Actually nevermind, don't ask me. 

But SEO & copywriting work hand in hand. 
  • We need SEO to help your ideal audience find you
  • We need copywriting to create content that connects, educates, and guides 

Your website is sometimes the only way your audience can connect with you and get to know you. As a small and/or sustainable brand authenticity is one of your selling features. 

A website that feels human, resonates with your audience, and reflects your mission will work harder and better over time than a hard manipulative sell. 

That’s sustainable copywriting. 
  • It’s non-manipulative
  • Human-driven
  • Personality-rich 
  • Authentic 
  • And works for your brand over time

Lauren, what is sustainable copywriting & SEO?

Show up for your conscious consumers!

Sustainable copywriting first...

For sustainable brands, sustainability copywriting…

  • Understands the struggle of feeling guilty over using a tube of toothpaste
  • Understands the excitement of finding a totally compostable dish brush that works
  • Understands the all-encompassing feeling of nothing-I-do-matters-so-what’s-the-point
  • Understands the way that we will go out of our way to not buy a plastic water bottle but buy a polyester couch off of amazon.   
  • But most importantly, we understand that we don’t guilt, coerce or shame people for however they live their lives. 

Sustainability is a journey, we’re all at different intersections but with sustainable content, your brand’s story will guide people to find you, connect, and journey on together.

Running a sustainable, mission-driven brand is tough stuff

  • I flew through The Last Hours trilogy even though it was yet another 17 year old drop dead beautiful heroine. 
  • Good Night, Irene was a wonderful pick by my bookclub that I probably wouldn't have read on my own.
  • And I'm back at it with Bad Mexicans! 

I've also decided to try to read a book in Spanish - "The Radleys" by Matt Haig. Talk to me in a couple of years when I've finished.

But why? You like to write and DIYing your SEO doesn't sound too bad

You can absolutely do anything - I'm your biggest supporter. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 

We have Woolly Mammoth DNA, should we bring them back? Probably not - they're going to overheat. (get it?)

I'm the expert so you don’t have to be - but that doesn't mean you're going to lose control. I need your industry expertise and I want your website to sound and feel like you. 

You don’t have to HAVE it all and you definitely don’t have to DO it all - that’s so two thousand and late. 

Let me be your expert
Let me stay up to date with the ever changing SEO
Let me create messages that resonate and inspire your audience
Let me set you up for long-term success.

Let’s create a positive impact together and inspire with every (key)word. 💛
