Hello. I’m Sara Millis.
Freelance SEO Content Writer and Copywriter
I'm a highly motivated, results-driven professional with over seventeen years of experience in SEO content, strategy and copywriting (six directly with clients). Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in long-form content, web copy, and repurposed content for social media and email. I'm a strategic thinker with a proven track record of achieving business objectives and exceeding performance targets.
As a freelancer, I'm known for my ability to tackle complex challenges promptly and comprehensively, earning me a reputation for being a collaborative team player who builds strong relationships with my clients, colleagues, and stakeholders.
I hold a first-class honours degree and have run successful product and service-based businesses, giving me first-hand experience in understanding customer pain points and building solutions. I top this up with ongoing professional development and staying current on industry best practices.
Industry focus
I am passionate about understanding how things work, including people, which has seen most of my recent work centre around
Skills
I have enjoyed working with a number of SMEs and startups across the UK and overseas, creating strategies and copy. I focus on creating engaging content that helps end-users along their buyer's journey.
“Sara is a great addition to our marketing team, her approach to content writing is thoughtful, thorough and detailed. She always brings new ideas to the table that support and complement the current strategy. Sara also offers expertise in SEO and analytics, which is a huge help when navigating the ongoing changes the Google suite presents us.”
“Working with Sara is easy. She really takes the time to understand our business and clients, creating copy that resonates and helps them act on their pain points. She’s very proactive, supporting and offering insights to build on our strategy - extremely helpful when you have limited time as a CEO. I would highly recommend working with Sara.”

About me
In a roundabout way, my previous careers (fashion and e-commerce) encompassed a lot of audience building, marketing and selling. To now find myself working as a freelance digital marketing copywriter doesn’t feel so far removed. I’m simply putting my existing skills to work for a range of clients with very specific content needs.
Remote, but always present
I work remotely but fit right in with your marketing team wherever they are. I believe my work should complement and extend upon their work and your goals. I also work well independently and have been an active solo entrepreneur since 2006.
Working remotely allows me to serve clients in Europe or the Middle East in the morning, whizz over to Canada by the afternoon and come home again for dinner. It gives me a work-life balance that helps me to thrive.
I worked with the team at Strafe Creative from late April 2022 to Q4 in 2023 to deliver engaging SEO-led content for their blog. Here's how I was able to increase their rankings and leads.
