Copy That
Web, brand, copy, ads, social & admin — under one roof

Built around what your business needs next.

Copy That builds the website or app, writes the copy, runs the ads, manages the social, and handles the admin in between — one hands-on team for startups and small businesses, scoped and quoted around what you actually need.

How we help

Start with the bottleneck holding you back.

Most startups and small businesses come to us in one of three situations. There are no set packages — each shows how we'd typically approach the problem and which capabilities we'd draw on, then we scope and quote to your specific needs.

What's holding your business back right now?

Visibility
Tell us your requirements

We'd usually start by making you credible and findable — a fast website built around your goals, a brand that looks the part, and copy that ranks.

What this usually involves
  • A new website or web app build, fast and mobile-first
  • Brand identity & visual design, so every touchpoint looks consistent
  • Website copywriting, written to convert and to rank
  • SEO & AEO structuring, so search engines and AI answer tools surface you
Capabilities we'd draw on

These are starting points, not fixed packages — every engagement is scoped and quoted to your own requirements. See all capabilities.

How we work

Diagnose. Plan. Build. Run.

The same four stages whether we're handling one capability or all six — so you always know what's happening and why.

01

Diagnose

A short audit of your site, ads, and admin load to find the real bottleneck.

02

Plan

We recommend the capabilities that fix it first, and quote the work to your requirements.

03

Build

Copy, campaigns, and the website or app come together as one connected piece of work.

04

Run

Ongoing optimisation and admin support keep results moving after launch.

Questions, answered

Common questions

Straight answers to what businesses ask before getting started.

What does Copy That do?
Copy That is a South African marketing partner for startups and small businesses, combining six capabilities under one roof: web and app builds, brand design, copywriting, paid ads management, social media management, and admin support. Instead of hiring several separate vendors, you get one hands-on team — and the work is scoped and quoted around what your business actually needs.
What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO (search engine optimisation) structures a website so it ranks in traditional search results like Google. AEO (answer engine optimisation) structures the same content so AI answer tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews — can find, understand, and cite it directly in their answers. Copy That writes and structures copy for both, so you show up whether someone searches or asks an AI.
Do you sell fixed packages?
No. Copy That doesn't sell set packages or bundles. Each capability — web and app builds, brand design, copywriting, ads management, social media management, or admin support — can be used on its own or combined with others, and every engagement is evaluated and quoted to your specific requirements, so you only pay for the work you need.
How do I know what I need?
Start with the bottleneck holding you back: low visibility (you're hard to find), weak demand (you're found but enquiries are quiet), or limited capacity (leads are coming in but admin is eating the week). You don't have to work it out alone — Copy That runs a free audit to diagnose the real problem and recommend which capabilities will fix it first.
How does pricing work?
Every engagement is quoted individually, because the work is scoped to your specific requirements rather than sold as a fixed package. The starting point is always a free audit, after which you receive a clear quote before any work begins — so there are no set prices to compare, and nothing you pay for that you don't need.
Who does Copy That work with?
Copy That works with South African startups and small businesses that want their website, brand, copy, ads, social media, and admin handled by one hands-on team rather than several disconnected suppliers. We're built for lean, growing businesses rather than large enterprises.
