The best website content MUST be comprised of useful, credible, friendly and original material. These four components, when combined, can help bring your website the traffic you need. Customers want content that teaches them something new, answers a question and/or helps them make a buying decision. By being useful, you are building trust and goodwill, both of which influence whether people will buy from you. Your customers want credible information – content they can trust. You will become credible by continually producing useful and original content. In the meantime, use your “About Us” page to establish initial credibility. That page is extremely vital for prospective clients who are interested in your business but want to know a little more about your history and what credibility you have earned in the industry you’re in. The proper balance of content on this page will either make the prospective client turn into a customer or make the individual turn back and click on another website from the search engine results. Even if a topic is covered elsewhere, if it is relevant to your customers, create some sort of original content about it. This makes your site a one stop source of information – and a great way to drive continual traffic. To help make a topic more original, give your own unique insights and thoughts on it. Share your opinions and express your concerns/thoughts on the matter. Discuss and review other posts on the topic (also known as content curation). Lastly, your content must be friendly – to both people and search engines. Writing in a “forced” way just to please search engines...

Many of our business clients turn to us for answers to all of their social media questions. We are constantly asked, “How can my business page on Facebook get faster likes?” The problem is in the question – you cannot get organic likes quickly – the process takes time. As a business owner, you must first answer several key questions: What is the reason you want more likes on your Facebook page? Since different brands have different objectives, is yours to drive in-store sales? Increase online sales? Launch a new product? Build awareness? Many businesses don’t know the answers to the questions. Many are desperate enough to purchase fake likes – not understanding that it does absolutely no justice to their page since no one is truly engaged in their content. These individuals are perfectly content with seeing thousands of fake likes as long as their page looks like there’s an audience. That’s a major no-no.

A website gives your business an online presence. These days, a professional and functioning website is crucial to every business owner. However, the way a website is both written and designed can either help your business grow or definitely harm the way your business is portrayed to the online world. People form instant opinions with a click of a button. If your website does not possess key elements and use-friendly features, within a few seconds a potential customer will click the backspace button and search for someone else. Your website has to reflect your brand, logo, theme, services, expertise, etc… You have to make people feel as though they have entered a different world – your online world – and be so interested in your services that they pick up the phone and head your way. Your online presence and your actual business (storefront, office, company, etc…) have to work together. Just like you replenish your store’s visual merchandise, you have to constantly replenish your online content. Potential clients are supposed to read your website pages to gain an interest. In reality, your content is so poorly written, that they begin to realize your mistakes and imperfections convey carelessness in your work. As a business, you must prevent mistakes from blemishing your company’s overall impression.A paragraph or page that is full of errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation is difficult to read and undermines the credibility and authority you have worked hard to achieve for your business. Your reputation suffers if your website, e-mails, letters and other documents are poorly written and possess typos and grammatical errors. In addition to being a necessity, editing...

An online presence is key to a successful foundation to your business. If I can find you online and like what I see, why wouldn’t I contact you, go to your restaurant or make a purchase? The combination of your website pages have to help your theme/vision for your brand and be so professionally written that the client will have no doubts in doing business with you. A flawlessly expressed, beautifully conceived promotional message and enticing website content for your business can work wonders for the value of your company in the eyes of potential clients. Compare a flawlessly composed introductory brochure to an unimpressive About Us Page full of archaic words and ancient idioms. There is a lot that potential clients can easily gather about your company from the quality of writing you send their way and form instant opinions. Having original content on your website allows your business to establish creditability. When you gain a following based on your text alone, it shows that people are beginning to trust you as the professionals in the industry you are in. If you copy and paste other people’s information, that only makes you and your business look bad and gives those companies you took the content from twice the amount of exposure. You might ask, “Well, most people find it extremely difficult to express on paper what they know in their head.” That is definitely understandable and true. However, those people can take the load off their shoulders and hire a professional copywriter to help them and their business gain the exposure it deserves – through enticing and original content. Most...
