Copy Health Checks
You’ve grabbed the bull by the horns, your website is out there, and your email sequences are live. But you’ve got a nagging feeling you’re not getting your point across.
Or perhaps it was all written ages ago; things have changed in the business, and clients just aren’t excited by your words.
Step into my consulting room, and let's get you a health check!
What Are Copy Health Checks, And Why Do I Need Them?
Sometimes, you need professional external eyes on your pet business to find the gaps and make your words sparkle.
Plus, in the animal industry, the VMD and ASA may be looming. “Have I claimed too much?” “Have I made ‘medicinal claims’?” Eek!
Health checks are a top-level view of your messaging.
They give you a steer on what is working and what needs tweaking.
They help your website convert, keep your messaging safe but exciting, and help your emails win new business – so that customers (and their pets) keep coming back.

The Compliance Bit
A compliance check picks up on messaging and terminology you may be using, which could be deemed medicinal by presentation, to help you deliver compliant copy without losing the essence of your message.
We look at your website as a whole, checking your top-level messaging, then focus on up to 3 pages (usually a homepage and 2 product pages).
This is not a legal check, and legal responsibility lies with you as a brand, but this service will help you to understand what you can and can’t say – and why.
Compliance is a vital piece of the puzzle for any business in the animal nutrition and health sector, whether you’re marketing pet food, supplements, or you’re a veterinary healthcare brand.
Getting your messaging right is not only important to your clients, but it keeps you safe and out of the marketing doghouse.
The Veterinary Medicines Directorate and the Advertising Standards Authority enforce marketing regulations to ensure products don’t make medicinal claims if they’re not a registered medicine. Classic examples are using the words “treat” and “prevent”, or using a disease term.
(Compliance checks are an add-on to the copy health check and are not a stand-alone service.)

The Email Audit
Email marketing helps you connect with your customers on a personal level. Your emails need to work hard to deliver the engagement you deserve.
​
An email audit does a sweep of your emails, up to 3 sequences (a max of 15 emails), to assess their current success and where we could make adjustments to get them working hard for your business.
We look at their open rates and click rates, comparing them to average and industry-specific rates. And we investigate the messaging, ensuring your sequences are optimised for conversion.
Finally, we suggest some next steps in each sequence and in your overall email strategy to build brand recognition, loyalty and customer retention rates.
