Tips to Write Content for Your Website

The quality of website content determines the success or failure of a website visitor wanting to do business with your company. When creating a website, one of your top priorities should be to create appealing and compelling content. Here are some tips for getting started.

1. Answer your customers questions

Think back to your recent Google searches - if you're like most people, you probably find yourself querying in the form of a question. If you're not sure where to start when it comes to writing content, answering questions relevant to your industry is a great place to start.

2. Keep your content simple

You might appreciate your inner wordsmith, but your website is not the place to display your linguistic skills. Keep sentences short and to the point to improve readability. The goal of your website is to keep users on it.

3. Make the page easy to scan

Keep the most important content at the top of the page and use subheadings. You only have a few seconds to capture most peoples attention. Make it count, and make it easy to read!

4. Know your audience

Understanding where your users come from, what they are looking for and how they end up on your pages will help you write. Good writing requires a rounded view of the competitive landscape. Knowing what your target audience is interested in will help you know which elements needs to be added to your site content to keep them connected to your website.

5. Use call to actions

Make use of buttons, links, and images to encourage website visitors to become customers. The purpose of your content is to attract users to your website - and convert them into clients! It's important to not forget this half of the equation.

6. Use an outline

Organizing your thoughts will help you stay focused on the information you want to deliver. It will also help you write faster, and produce more content.

7. Don't be a perfectionist

Review your content for grammatical and spelling errors: Yes. Spend three days working on a single informational post: No. Quality is important, but quantity is too when it comes to achieving natural website visitors. Practice often!
