AI-SEO-optimized

More than a text edit, we can optimize your content to appear higher on AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Claude, as well as traditional Google. We’ve elevated numerous global companies SEO rankings.

100% native English

Editors from countries such as India and the Philippines don’t speak English as a first language in daily life. Yet other editing companies hire them because they work for low wages. It’s a sad truth, and it can harm your work. We’re 100% native English speakers.

Human-made

We leverage AI to optimize writing and pick up on mistakes. All basic and final editing is by human experts. Other companies send AI only and skirt around the truth.

No freelancers

WorldEdits is a brand of MacroLingo LLC (MacroLingo合同会社 – an expat-owned, registered company in Japan). Unlike freelancers, you have the assurance and stability of a true company.
