Website copywriting can cost anywhere from a relatively small per-page fee to several thousand dollars for a complete website.
The difference usually comes down to what the writer is actually doing.
A straightforward page written from a detailed client brief requires less work than a site involving interviews, competitor research, SEO research, positioning, information architecture and complex subject matter.
Greyline's SEO & Website Copy currently starts from USD 400 per page, with full website projects starting from USD 1,750.
Before comparing quotes, check what is included.
Useful questions include whether research is part of the fee, whether the writer is responsible for page structure, how revisions work and whether SEO considerations are included.
A price per word tells you relatively little about the amount of thinking required to make a website work.
