How do you know when it’s time for a website rewrite?
This is a question that’s so often posed to me by leads and colleagues, and I get why people want to make sure they’re making the right business decisions. Let’s face it: Between hiring a website copywriter and a website designer (among other potential service providers), complete website rebrands often cost a lot of money. And it’s important to make sure the investments you make in your business will pay off in the long run.
This episode will help you understand what influences whether a website rewrite is warranted and how you can tell if the time is right for you.

- “If you find that your leads have this level of confusion about exactly what you do or what you offer, It’s very likely related to some ambiguity in your copy around those things.” – Erin Ollila
- “What is that commandment? ‘Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife’. Like, if you’re coveting your competitor’s copy, it’s probably time you need a new website copy rebrand for yourself.” – Erin Ollila
