Producing Quality Content

Producing top web writing is a time consuming process, requiring good research & depth of understanding.

Tight, well thought-out content has many benefits for a website:

  • Gets visitors attention
  • Drives traffic
  • Increases sales
  • Generates links for search engines
  • Getting Attention

    A cornerstone to your website, content has to attract readers and keep them around. Beyond being well written, quality content has to be useful.

    Helpful content offers something to the reader pertaining to your industry. Things like tips, resources and references can all be designed to pique interest and create a thirst for more.
    Timeless content Quality copy should be written with the idea that it will be used and cited for years to come.

    Generating Traffic

    The ultimate foundation, traffic generation grows as a website gains readership and hones its usability. Content has to be consistent in quality and offer something readers want.

    Original content eliminates duplicate content issues and keeps readers interested by supplying new ideas, the latest resources and fresh perspective.

    A unique style is essential to gaining a readership following which increases traffic. People appreciate consistency of style and will react to a unique voice.

    Sales Growth

    Hooking readers with quality and keeping them around with originality is pointless unless it accomplishes the end goal of most websites; increasing sales or conversions. Reputation management paired with credible copy builds a solid foundation for marketing.

    The marketing hook is a persuasive suggestion built into the conversation of the content, whether it is a blog post, a social article or your home page. People quit reading when they suspect a sales pitch, marketing needs to be subtle and composed in a useful framework to successfully promote your product or service.

    Linkbait

    Growing initial traffic and sales drive a website into public view and linkbait will help keep it there. The idea draws on all of the above points and combines them to create posts that are universally interesting enough that people will continue to link to them.

    Posting first is essential when posting about current events and press release information. Being quick on the draw means that others will use your posts for research and link back to your site.

    Guides are another way to generate linkbait. Guides with good resources, previously unpublished information, well-researched lists and concise instructions will be shared and linked to, over and over again.
