Simply search Adam Goulston on Google Scholar to see some of the works edited by the MacroLingo founder and chief editor. Other editors also have proven track records. All final edits go through Dr. Goulston.
AI-SEO-optimized
More than a text edit, we can optimize your content to appear higher on Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Claude, as well as traditional Google. We’ve elevated numerous global companies’ AI search performance and 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
All primary and final editing is by human experts. We leverage AI to optimize writing and pick up on mistakes that human eyes may miss. Frankly, we’d be dumb not to. Other companies send AI only and skirt around the truth.
No freelancers
MacroLingo LLC (MacroLingo合同会社) is an expat-owned, registered company in Japan. Unlike with freelancers and agencies, when you contract with us, you’re working with a company and always with experts (not students, not underpaid offshore hires).
