Claim-Level Copy Editing Services

Your content looks polished.
But can you back up every claim in it?

Sentence by sentence, claim by claim. A fact-checking editing service that goes beyond grammar — every factual statement is verified against reliable sources, so your content earns trust, not just clicks.

Let's talk about your content See how it works ↓

Your B2B content might be passing the wrong test

Most B2B SaaS content passes the readability test. Well-structured, SEO-optimized, on-brand. But it often fails a quieter, harder test: is every claim in this piece defensible?

"Studies show customers prefer..."(which study?)
"Most marketers agree..."(what's the source?)
"Up to 3x better results..."(compared to what?)

Your audience notices. Google's quality raters notice. And your competitors who do cite their sources are building the credibility you're leaving on the table.


Five things I work through in every piece

01 — Claim identification
Every verifiable statement gets flagged
Stats, benchmarks, attributed quotes, product comparisons, trend assertions, vague generalizations. All marked before anything else happens.
02 — Accuracy check
Each claim verified against reliable sources
If the original source isn't cited, I find one. If the claim can't be verified, it's flagged as unverifiable with a recommended fix. No assumptions, no guessing.
03 — Vague language audit
Soft claims get challenged or cut
"Most marketers agree", "research shows", "significantly better" — if it can't be made specific, it gets rewritten or removed. No wiggle room.
04 — Copy editing, sentence by sentence
Grammar, flow, clarity — fully edited
Every sentence gets a copy editing pass alongside the fact layer. Awkward phrasing, passive constructions, consistency issues — all caught and corrected in the same document.
05 — Source report
A clean reference document, yours to keep
Every verified claim is listed with its source in a separate report. Which claim, which source, what it confirms. Your team can file it, share it, or return to it whenever needed.
What you receive: a tracked-changes document with comments on every flagged item, plus a separate source report mapping each verified claim to its reference. Your content is edited and credible, with the documentation to back it up.

How I work through your content

1
Send your content
Share your draft as a Google Doc, Word file, or plain text. Include a short brief: what the piece is for and who reads it. That context shapes how I approach the editing layer.
2
I go claim by claim, sentence by sentence
Every factual statement is verified or flagged. Every sentence gets a copy editing pass. Both layers are handled in a single tracked document, with comments throughout.
3
You get back a credible, edited piece
Tracked edits, source comments, a clean reference report. Verified claims are noted, weak ones flagged with suggestions, unverifiable ones marked for your call. Turnaround: 2–3 business days.

For teams without a dedicated fact-checker

One professional copy editor. Two layers of work.

Hiring a fact-checker and a copy editor separately means two briefings, two turnarounds, and a bigger budget. These copy editing services cover both, because my background spans both disciplines.

01
High-volume content teams
You publish frequently and can't verify every claim in-house. This adds the accuracy layer without adding headcount.
02
AI-assisted workflows
AI drafts often contain plausible but unsourced claims. This is the human accuracy layer those drafts skip.
03
Topical authority builders
If you're building pillar content, your claims need to hold up to scrutiny. Vague stats undermine the authority you're trying to establish.
04
High-stakes publications
White papers, lead magnets, and landing pages where one wrong claim can cost you credibility with exactly the audience you're trying to convert.

Standard fact-checking vs. claim-level copy editing

Standard fact-checking asks
"Is this true?"
Catches factual errors: wrong numbers, misattributed quotes, outdated data. The copy stays as-is. No editing, no claim verification services beyond surface-level checking.
Claim-level copy editing asks
"Is this true, specific, sourced, and clear?"
Catches errors AND challenges vague language, missing citations, misleading framing, and sentences that obscure meaning (even when technically correct).

FAQs

What is claim-level copy editing?

Claim-level copy editing is an editing service that combines copy editing with fact-checking. Every sentence is reviewed for clarity, grammar, and (and every factual claim is verified against reliable sources.) Vague or unsourced statements are flagged, challenged, or rewritten.

Proofreading catches surface errors: typos, punctuation, spelling. Claim-level copy editing goes further. It edits for clarity and also checks whether the factual statements in your content are accurate, specific, and properly sourced.

Yes. Fact-checking is built into the process. Every verifiable claim is checked against reliable sources. If a source can't be found, the claim is flagged as unverifiable with a recommended fix. You also receive a separate source report listing every verified claim and its reference.

Primarily long-form B2B content: blog posts, pillar pages, thought leadership articles, white papers, and landing pages. If you're unsure whether your content type fits, just ask.

A source report is a separate document you receive alongside the edited file. It lists every verified claim, the source it was checked against, and what that source confirms. Your team can file it, reference it later, or use it to support content decisions.

Yes, and this is one of the strongest use cases for this service. AI-generated drafts often contain plausible-sounding but unsourced or inaccurate claims. Claim-level copy editing adds the human accuracy layer that AI writing tools skip.

Turnaround is typically 2 to 3 business days, depending on the length and claim density of the piece. If you have a tighter deadline, mention it when you reach out and I'll let you know if it's workable.

The core deliverable is a tracked-changes document with comments and a source report. Rewriting specific sections based on the audit findings is available as an add-on. We can discuss scope when you reach out.

The tracked document uses a consistent comment system throughout. Verified claims are noted with their source. Weak or vague claims are flagged with a suggested fix. Claims that couldn't be verified are clearly marked so you can decide how to handle them.

Rates depend on the length and claim density of the piece. Email hi@yesh.world with your content or a short description and I'll come back to you with a rate and turnaround within one business day.
