The three things costing you enquiries
Each one quoted from your own page and explained in plain language.
For founders whose offer is better than their website
Visitors give your website five seconds. I rewrite those five seconds so the right people stay, understand what you do and get in touch.

Nobody reads your website. They scan it.
They decide in seconds whether it’s for them, then leave or lean in. Usability researchers have measured this for years, and it’s why your first line matters more than everything under it.

Watch one sentence change the sale.
A fictional invoicing app. A very real kind of mistake. Keep scrolling and watch the edit.
- “All-in-one”Every billing tool says this. It tells a stranger nothing.
- “Platform”Names what it is, not what it does for me.
- “Modern businesses”Who, exactly? A reader can’t see themselves in it.
- Lead with what they getFreelancers want to be paid without chasing anyone. Say that.
Five questions. Five seconds.
Open your homepage in another tab. Start the timer and read only the first screen. Could a total stranger answer all five?
Tap to start the five-second timer.
Who is it for?
Your buyer should see themselves in the very first line.
What problem does it solve?
In your buyer’s words, not your industry’s.
What do I get?
The outcome, said plainly. What changes after they buy.
Why you?
One specific reason to pick you over the next open tab.
What do I do next?
One button. One verb. Visible without scrolling.
Missed two or more?
Your page is losing people before they scroll. That’s exactly what the audit fixes.

Accounting firm
Before
Welcome to our firm. We are a full-service accounting practice offering tax, audit and advisory services.
After
Tax season shouldn’t take over your business.
Alternative: Know where the money’s going before the quarter ends.
What was wrong
It opens with the firm, not the client. It lists categories instead of outcomes. And the only thing to do next is scroll.
What to fix first
The headline, because it decides whether anyone reads on. Then one clear next step. Then services rebuilt around what each one saves the client.
Weekly meal-planning subscription
Before
Email 1: thanks for joining. Email 2: our story. Email 3: buy now.
After: one job per email
- Day 0Your first menu lands Thursday. Tell us what you don’t eat.
- Day 2The 10-minute dinner you can cook tonight.
- Day 4Cost, skipping a week, dietary needs: answered plainly.
- Day 7What a planned week of dinners looks like.
- Day 10Your next menu is ready. Keep it, swap it or skip.
What was wrong
Thank, describe, sell. Every email was about the company, so readers drifted off before the offer arrived.
Why the rewrite works
Each email earns the next open: set expectations, give a quick win, answer the doubts, show the habit, make the repeat order one click.

Before
Excited to announce that we’ve just launched a powerful new reporting feature! Check it out and let us know what you think. #SaaS #Growth #Innovation
After
Our customers kept exporting to a spreadsheet to answer one question: which clients are paying late? So we put that answer on the first screen. No export, no formulas. If you run a small business, what’s the one number you check every Monday?
What was wrong
The post is about the company’s excitement. Nothing in it is about the reader, so they scroll past.
Why the rewrite works
It starts with a frustration the reader recognises, says what changed in plain words and ends with a question worth answering.

What people I’ve written for say.
Four business owners, in their own words. Hover or tap a card to see what changed for them.
I was struggling to communicate what made my services different. Sphota helped me sharpen my messaging and present my offer in a much more compelling way. The result felt far more professional.
Priya MehtaPersonal Brand
Sphota helped us make our product descriptions clearer and more persuasive. The messaging felt more customer-focused and made our products easier to understand. A solid experience working with them.
Aarav SharmaE-commerce Business
Our old marketing copy wasn’t communicating the value of our services properly. Sphota brought a fresh perspective and helped us write copy that speaks more directly to our target customers.
Rohan KulkarniSmall Business Owner
Working with Sphota helped me rethink how I present my business online. The copy became clearer, more engaging, and more focused on customer needs. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to improve their messaging.

A finance mind, writing your words.
Before copywriting I spent over three years in finance, where a vague sentence costs real money. So I don’t write for applause. I write for the number you care about: enquiries, sales, invoices paid.

When you need more than an audit.
Every job is conversion copy: words with a job to do. Scope and price are agreed in writing first.
Is this a fit?
Sphota works best for businesses whose offer is already good and whose website isn’t saying so. If that’s not you yet, I’ll tell you before you spend anything.
A good fit if
- People who meet you get it, but people who read your site don’t
- Your page gets visitors and too few enquiries
- You want plain, specific words, not hype
- You can share a few customer emails, reviews or notes
Probably not a fit if
- You need fifty blog posts by Friday
- You want promises your business can’t keep
- You haven’t decided what you sell yet
- Price per word is the only thing that matters
Questions people ask first.
Straight answers about the audit, price, timing and what to expect. If yours isn’t here, ask it in the form below.
A written review of one page of your website, usually the homepage or a landing page. You get the three biggest problems shown in your own sentences, new headline options, the doubts the page ignores, and a fix list in priority order that you, your team or another writer can use straight away.
It depends on scope: one page, an email sequence and a monthly content plan are different jobs. You get a fixed price in writing for the exact work before you commit, and nothing starts without your yes. There is no retainer and no long contract.
It depends on the length of the page. You get the turnaround date in writing together with the quote, before you commit to anything.
A link to the page and one line on what feels off. Customer emails, reviews or sales-call notes help, because the strongest copy uses your buyers’ own words, but they are optional for the audit.
No, and be careful with anyone who promises it. Results also depend on your offer, price, traffic and timing. Clear copy removes the reasons people leave without asking. The audit shows where your page loses readers, so you can fix it and measure the change.
A tool produces words fast. It can’t decide which claim your business can honestly stand behind, what a nervous buyer needs to hear, or what to cut. That judgement is the work, and it’s what the audit gives you.
Small and growing businesses that sell online: e-commerce brands, personal brands, service firms and software companies. The common thread is an offer that is better than the words currently describing it.
