Website Copy Quality: Why is it so important?
Website Copy Quality: Why is it so important?
by Jubran Moe
Content is the cornerstone of any successful website. Customers don’t visit websites to waste time staring at animated flash navigation panels or watching load screens, they visit to consume content and read about the product on offer. This is why website copy is so important. Filling each page with too much marketing spiel or packing it with useless text for SEO purposes does not create an engaging and fulfilling experience for the customer. This is why businesses need to spend time focusing on website copy.
Businesses need to treat website copy like an editor treats a news story before the paper goes to print. Every sentence needs to be carefully crafted and every word needs to be checked, and then double-checked. Businesses also need to understand that website copy has a character limit. Throwing exuberant amounts of website copy onto a single webpage is like telling the customer to read a book as soon as they walk through the door. In this case, less is more.
Writing copy that customers actually want to read is a challenging task and is not a task that can be easily undertaken by a typical manager or web designer. Here, businesses shouldn’t be afraid to seek out help from a seasoned copy writer. A professional copy writer will strike the perfect balance between clarity and keyword density.
When in doubt about how effective their website copy is, businesses should always seek out advice from customers and ask them for feedback. Great website copy allows businesses to rise above their competitors by using engaging text and strategic SEO.
Hear, hear! My web content company regularly has to struggle with clients who want word dumps at low quality. Low quality text might fool a computer, but computers aren’t buying your products and services – people do that. To attract and interest people, you have to provide real information in a well-written way.
agreed… when you write make sure you write for humans not Google
