Copywriting & Editing
Stand out with powerful copy.
Copywriting not only makes your brand stand out from your competitors but increases the conversion on your website.
Writing powerful copy
Powerful copywriting is about the visitor – copy crammed with references to ‘we’, ‘our’ and ‘us’ say one thing to the visitor, that this business is all about them and not me. Using words including ‘you’ or ‘your’ is directing the conversation from the perspective of the customer. Using power keywords will give your business an edge and describe how good your product or service is. Using ‘best’ or ‘top’ is not going to tell the reader anything.
Furthermore, a customer will be put off if the flow of the copy is not getting to the point or worse, has obvious grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors. This not only smacks of unprofessionalism but makes it harder for the reader to actually read!
Successful copywriting
Successful copywriting also considers the reader and buyer persona the product or service is aimed at – not assuming that the visitor has enough knowledge of the product. Too much technical jargon or industry niche terms are not going to engage somebody who has limited experience in that industry field.
Maybe the visitor is researching for someone in their senior management or technical teams; and if they cannot understand what is being read, they are less likely to recommend your business to someone who does know. There should be just enough terms to convey expertise without suffocating the reader.
Valuable copywriting
Copywriting is not just about telling your visitors what you can do but about the value your products and services deliver. People are not reading your site but scanning it for words that will resonate with the solution to the problem they are searching for.
Businesses incorrectly assume that the visitor will fall in love with the business purely because the business owner loves the business. Successful copywriting is about addressing the potential barriers to a sale and explaining clearly what is on offer rather than boasting about how great the business is.
