Non-wanky SEO and SEO Content.
You didn't become a copywriter to earn £30/hour and justify your existence to clients who think ChatGPT is "good enough."

I could pretend SEO is mysterious and complicated so you'd be more impressed. But honestly, you can learn this. That's the whole point.

Every copywriter I know is worried about AI. The ones who'll thrive are the ones adding skills AI can't replicate. SEO is one of them.

Imagine having clients who pay you monthly. Not per project. Not per word. Monthly. That's what SEO retainer work looks like.

Feast or famine isn't a business model. It's a stress disorder. SEO retainer work means consistent monthly income. That's what Ascend sets copywriters up for.

The name Ascend was chosen because "Stop Competing With People Charging £50 For Website Copy" didn't fit on the sales page.

"I'll just raise my copywriting rates." Good luck with that when clients think AI can do your job. The copywriters charging premium rates in 2026 will be offering something AI can't.

SEO isn't rocket science. It's just nobody's taught you properly. That's what Ascend is for. (Also, rocket science is probably easier. Rockets don't have algorithm updates.)

If you're still competing with other copywriters on price, you're in a race to the bottom. Ascend teaches you to offer something they can't.

"I can get copy from ChatGPT for free." Cool. Can ChatGPT audit your website, fix your technical SEO issues, and develop a strategy that gets you found on Google? No? Interesting.

You know that feeling when a client says "ChatGPT wrote something similar"? Ascend is the programme that makes sure you never have to hear that again.

Copywriters: how many times this month has a client mentioned ChatGPT? That's why I created Ascend. SEO is the thing AI can't do properly.

Copywriter: "I need to differentiate from AI."
Also copywriter: continues doing exactly what AI can do
Ascend fixes this.

Copywriters - every day you don't apply for Ascend is another day competing on price with people who think £75 for a landing page is "expensive." https://f.mtr.cool/pxngbjpsae

I'm launching something new for copywriters who are sick of competing with AI.
It's called Ascend. 
It's a 6-month programme that teaches you how to offer proper SEO services - not just "I can put keywords in titles and headers."
