Is this the service for you?

Before sending your book to copy editing, it should be mostly free of errors to the best of your ability. This includes (but is not limited to): POV consistency, grammatical errors, and typos.

Even the most eagle-eyed editors can miss things if a manuscript has a large number of errors. Copy editing and proof-reading should be the final polishing passes before publication. If you need help with getting a manuscript ready to that stage, you may need more of a line edit.
