Replace vague words like improve or optimize with concrete numbers, timeframes, and examples, such as changing save time to save 4 hours every week. Remove content that cannot be made specific since it is likely filler.

Use copy editing when copy already exists and needs improvement, including drafts you just wrote. Use copywriting when creating new page copy from scratch, then switch to editing after the first draft is complete.
