Grammar and spelling are table stakes for copywriting. A copywriter shouldn't sell themselves on it, or mention it, because it is an assumption that it will be good.

When a copy writer is offering a service with bad copy, it casts into doubt their ability to write or edit copy.

I ran this sentence from the article through google docs:

>There was overwhelm of not knowing how to start a website, what pages to include, and what those pages should even be doing.

Google docs correctly picked up the error, and made the correct suggestion. I expect that a copy editor will NEVER turn in copy that has not been run through a basic automated check.
