The power of words
I’m a big fan of words, and live to see them working hard for a client, whether that’s via wonderful web content, a cracking case study, a perfect press release or an engaging email campaign.
Good copy is the backbone of every business. It literally speaks for you – letting potential customers know what you’re all about, when you’re not around to tell them yourself.
Whether for a social media update, the text on your homepage, a blog post or an email that’s automatically generated with a purchase, copy is absolutely everywhere. That’s no excuse for it to be sloppily done. On the contrary, every interaction with a potential or existing customer should be carefully crafted, approached with attention to detail and written with a view to building trust. It isn’t just important that you choose your words carefully – it’s vital.
Unfortunately, poor quality copy is common. As business owners juggle many plates, writing content is often a job that’s dashed off quickly to put a tick in a box, or handed to an inexperienced copywriter to be completed at a bargain price – often achieving little other than putting some words on a page.
This, my friends, has to stop!
Here’s how I can help
I believe that good copy should be accessible to everyone, not just to big businesses with big budgets (I love me some of those too, but working with smaller brands can be just as rewarding.)
The majority of small businesses rely heavily on their websites to generate new leads and to convert these visitors into paying customers. As a business owner, your website can be your biggest asset or an expensive, time-consuming waste of online real estate.
Along with a responsive, intuitive design, your site needs well-written copy, that’s:
- Driven by a clear purpose, building momentum that carries the reader through to a strong call to action
- Engaging and relevant to your target audience, letting them know, in simple terms, how you can solve their problem
- 100% jargon and waffle-free
- Proofread to perfection, with no distracting errors
- Written with a clear voice that represents your unique brand
- SEO optimised (without being keyword stuffed like a Christmas turkey)
- Structured for reading online, rather than in print
- A good balance of passion and precision – capturing the personality of your brand, without sacrificing clarity of message
Achieving all of this is a tall order, particularly if your budget doesn’t stretch to dedicated support from an experienced web copywriter.
Don’t panic.
