What do you think about SEO Copywriting & Design?

SEO Copywriting & Web DesignA blog about SEO Copywriting & Web Design

On this blog we usually write about what we feel and why we feel it. This blog’s a little different; it’s an open invitation to all you web designers, copywriters, developers – basically anyone involved in the online world!

What’s your opinion on the importance of SEO copywriting and how it should mix with web design?

In the office here @ Precise English we (obviously) believe that no matter how good your website looks, the content needs to be up to scratch if it’s going to succeed. However, we also understand that there are many website designers & developers out there who believe that websites with little to no text (purely visual) are the way forward, and we would like to hear your views and reasons (whatever your opinions on SEO copywriting and design may be).

The Future of SEO Copywriting

Do you believe that specialist SEO copywriting companies will continue to grow at the speed it has over the last year or two? Or do you think web design and SEO companies will begin to employ people in-house and try and compete?

We (again, obviously) believe that the reason why we’re doing so well is because we specialise in SEO copywriting – we know what we’re doing (trained journalists with a vast amount of SEO knowledge) and we’re able to provide amazing deals when work is purchased in bulk (all work done in-house!). The majority of our clients are extremely pleased to work with a company that specialises, rather than a company that ‘does it as an extra service’.

We would love to hear what you think about SEO copywriting & web design below!

Social Media Tips – Twitter

You are probably already using Twitter as part of your company’s social media marketing strategy. Twitter has 75 millions user accounts, of which 15 million are active users. Twitter is a great way for small businesses and entrepreneurs to promote their products and services, as well as staying in touch with those that follow them. There is, however, a right way and a wrong way to use Twitter. We have collated some useful tips to keep your social media marketing strategy on track:

  • Quality postings – your tweets need to be short and sweet. Tweets should be 140 characters in length and be helpful and informative. If you have any valuable information for your followers about your industry or perhaps about something that is free, they will love to hear about it.
  • Retweet – an easy way of creating goodwill with other Twitter users is to retweet their posts. If you have any comments or thoughts, add them on to the tweet. Retweeting is easy and only takes one click.
  • Regular tweets – you don’t have to post tweets every day, however it is useful. Your followers will look forward to your posts if they are on a regular basis, and you can even schedule your tweets if you need to plan ahead.
  • Comments – contribute to the Twitter community by commenting on other people’s tweets. People appreciate it when you comment on what they have to say and it lets them know that you are paying attention to what they have to say.
  • Don’t just talk about yourself – Twitter is not just one big way of spreading your marketing message. People will soon get sick of your sales talk and in one click can stop following you. There is a fine line between posting your press release, blogs, and articles, and providing your followers with useful and informative information that will keep them happy.

These are just some useful tips to help you with successful social media marketing.
