Why Editing Over Proofreading?
Editing does more than just correct your errors. Initially, punctuation, typography, syntax, and spelling corrections are done. And the next
phase makes content more search engine friendly. Analysis and corrections in flow, readability, & structure improve the quality
and ranking of the content. And finally, improve the tone and voice of the content to win over your audience too!
