I, too, am a freelance writer and find that you will even get clients who are not sure exactly what they want or don't know how to properly explain it. In my experience, I have been able to suggest certain things to the client and they are taken aback at my expertise. Some clients do value your suggestion. Some will even say, "you are the expert." However, to make sure you and he client are on the same page, be clear on the goal that the client is trying to reach and together with sound suggestion from you, it will work out for both of you, but pretty much more so for the client.
