Federico has a very particular approach to writing "alternative to" pages. I haven't seen anyone work so hard on getting the competitive angle right and making sure our visitors understand how Jasper is different — and better — than our competitors. We'll come back for more :)

Federico brought research and insights to the table that vastly improved our comparison pages. He effectively wrote copy and created layouts that were on-brand, hit SEO targets, and achieved messaging goals.


Daniel Reiter - Editor-in-Chief at FreshBooks

The way Federico handles research is top-notch. Most copywriters just write while Federico actually dives deep into USPs, pain points, and competitors. The research insights are super valuable.


Will Cannon - Founder at UpLead



I highly recommend working with Federico. He's hands-down the best SaaS copywriter I've worked with. He takes the time to fully understand the business and it's reflected in his compelling and never boring copy. He is also able to write for SEO, which of course, I love. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. Hire him before your competitor does.
