Meet Karen Bodkin

👋 Hey there!

I’m Karen. I’m a copywriter, content strategist, SEO pro, and AI prompt nerd with 20+ years of experience helping brands find the words that work. Whether it’s long-form guides, product blurbs, or full brand messaging, I bring strategy, clarity, and a whole lot of heart to everything I write.

I’m not here to churn out filler. I’m here to make content that connects, ranks, and actually sounds like you.

I dig deep to figure out what makes your brand stand out. I don’t just write in your voice—I study your competitors too, so we can make sure your message actually lands. I bring a mix of curiosity and strategy to the table and focus on content that feels real, useful, and aligned with your goals.

🌟 SEO & AI Strategy I use smart tools and even smarter planning to help your content get found, get clicked, and do what it’s supposed to do.

🖋️ Copywriting & Brand Journalism Whether it’s a homepage, sales page, or founder story, I write copy that sounds like you and gets people to care.

📄 Content Writing In-depth articles, blog posts, and resources that are clear, engaging, and backed by solid research and structure.

🔍 Editing & Proofreading I clean things up without losing your voice. It’s all about clarity, flow, and helping your content show up at its best.

📈 Content Optimization I make sure your content is working for you, not just sitting there. SEO, structure, accessibility—it all matters.

And yes, I’m reliable. I don’t miss deadlines, and I keep things clear and low-drama for everyone involved.

I’m based in Ontario, Canada, where I work from home (usually at my treadmill desk) or outside if the weather’s good. I left nursing in 2021 due to heart issues and built this business from bedrest when I couldn’t even walk to the mailbox. These days, I walk 15 to 20K steps a day, run, play baseball, and write content that helps people do their best work.

When I’m not working, I’m reading, hiking, volunteering, or writing fiction. I’m also a proud sponsor of my local Pride group and sing with the Aeolian Pride Chorus, which brings me so much joy.

Got a project in mind? Let’s chat.

You can reach me here on Contra, on LinkedIn, or by email at karenrbodkin@gmail.com.

I'd love to help you bring your brand's voice to life in a way that's smart, grounded, and totally you.
