Copywriting at Christmas

Posted on November 29, 2011 by preciseadmin

Don’t risk missing out on festive opportunities

When you have products to sell, there’s no better and more lucrative time of the year than Christmas to attract the contents of the consumers’ wallet, and it is this time of year that you will surely seek to enjoy more traffic than any other.

When you find yourself with scores of potential customers passing through the ‘virtual doors’ of your website, is it important that they leave with a positive impression of you and your services, and the content on your website is the key to enhancing reputations above all other elements of it.

All I want for Christmas…is quality content

You’ll be hoping that your website appears at the highest positions possible when it comes to search engine rankings, and the best way to ensure this is by employing Search Engine Optimisation. Search engines like Google are becoming increasingly adept at identifying quality content and rewarding it, so if you want your service to appear as high as possible when it comes to search rankings, a happy medium between keywords and quality content is a must. The more your content is shared (especially via Google’s +1 service), the more search engines and users will come to respect it, and one way to ensure this occurs is offer informative and engaging articles to your customers that they will alert others to, meaning that your articles circulate and are seen by masses of people.

Should you write your own copy?

Posted on November 29, 2011 by preciseadmin

Why the risk can backfire dramatically

Although it may be tempting for owners of websites and companies to write their own copy, copywriting is an acquired skill learned over time and the ability to write engaging and effective SEO content is not as universal as it may look to the naked eye. As well as requiring the ability to use keywords subtly and skilfully to make content look less like spam and more like informative writing, copywriting is a professional skill that requires a lot of talent and experience to compose it engagingly and effectively.

Clarity and persuasion are two key elements of copywriting, and though keyword-heavy (knowing how ‘heavy’ is imperative, too) content is a factor when it comes to those all-important search engine rankings, the quality of the content itself is the most important factor when it comes to uploading articles that will engage, inform and ultimately secure trust in your services. When the quality of your copy is poor, this will undoubtedly taint your image in the eyes of potential customers and those new to your services.

No room for inadequacy

The content that you provide simply must be of the quality you wish to be associated with in all other areas of your services, meaning there is simply no room for the unprofessional and the inadequate. Businesses can now increasingly find that their websites are their shop window, and if you wish for people to investigate further then you must win their respect from the outset. So if you feel that outsourcing the composition of your web copy is the move to make, ensuring an optimal position in search engine results whilst being held in higher esteem, contact us today to get the ball rolling.

The Truth About Fresh Content and Google

Posted on November 23, 2011 by preciseadmin

Don’t let your content stagnate

Google are continually making amendments to their service to optimise the reliability and quality of their rankings, and it is widely agreed that relevance and integrity are things that continually need to be adhered to, especially when considering how vast the wealth of poor material out there is.

The latest changes to Google (once again) mean that fresh content is favoured, which means producing high-quality written work on a regular basis is key, rather than simply setting up a website with a number of articles then simply letting the content side of things stagnate.

Make your website stand out

When you consistently add fresh content to your website it demonstrates that you have your eye on the ball and that you are knowledgeable in your field. Well-written and engaging content makes your web content seem less ‘salesy’ and more informative and if they are enjoyable to read, they are more likely to be shared, meaning more traffic and sales in the process. When uploading product descriptions to your site, it is also beneficial to write original and fresh content rather than simply duplicating the manufacturer’s descriptions, which will be used by numerous companies. Original and unique content will make you stand out, and show you to be dedicated and enthusiastic about the items you sell (to both Google and visitors).

More likely to be shared

If you lack the time to update your website(s) with new fresh content on a regular basis, then it’s a good idea to invest in the services of an SEO copywriting company, who specialise in producing high-quality content with a robustly professional approach to grammar and spelling. It has been noted that since Google brought the recent ‘fresh content’ changes into the service, websites that aren’t as prolific when posting fresh content have started to see a loss in traffic, meaning that fresh content is even more valuable that it was before. Prolific posting may seem a chore, but continually updated websites show customers that you are engaged and involved with any developments that may be relevant to your service, and if articles are of great quality then they are more likely to be shared, leading to more traffic for your website.

Unique Content is a MUST for EVERY Website

Posted on November 11, 2011 by preciseadmin

Are you the owner of a website? Perhaps you’re looking at launching a new site? What you probably haven’t been told by the ‘so-called web design experts’ is that the content on your website is much more important in terms of making money online than the design.

CONTENT IS KING

Are you shocked? Google can’t read web design – that’s a pretty obvious statement, right? You may be surprised at the high number of website owners who spend thousands of pounds on making their site look amazing, only to try and write the content themselves despite the fact that they are not experts in search engine optimisation copywriting.

One of the main reasons why a site will appear high on the number one search engine (Google) is the quality and relevance of its content; if you don’t know what you’re doing in relation to producing professionally optimised content for the user and the search engine then you’re bound to not only write content that doesn’t appeal to Google, but most importantly write content that simply doesn’t convert a visitor into a customer.

Action Plan for Every Site Owner

OK, so we’ve spoken about how fresh, unique content is imperative for every single website that wants to do well online, but how can you do this? There are two steps:

The first step is to have a professional SEO Copywriting company produce the content for your website, with the correct keyword density to ensure the best possible chance of ranking well.
The second step is to create regular blog posts on subjects relating to your industry – why? Every time you upload a post to your blog (on your website) the search engines see this as a new page – a great way to quickly build up the number of pages on your website!
