At Impact Media we know how important it is to have effective and unique content on your website.

Contrary to beliefs writing content for the web differs greatly from other mediums as it has to satisfy a much greater audience. Content development is more complex than people give it credit as in today’s world your copy has to achieve all of the following or it will not succeed in its job to convert:

  • Be unique and optimised so that the search engines will index it
  • Be visually appealing to create interest
  • Compel people to read it and then want it
  • Contain the right mix to convey message and benefits
  • Be well structured to gain maximum conversion

We believe good website copy is of the utmost importance as it will define the difference between great conversions and next to no conversions.

Simply put:

Great Content = Great conversions + High ROI

The content of your website will be the initial compelling factor encouraging people to buy your product and/or service. Therefore it is of utmost importance that the content is structured correctly to receive maximum impact and a high conversion rate.

When you are creating or having content created for your website keep the following top tips in mind:

    • Talk in Benefits
    • Use the keywords you want to rank for in the website copy
    • Don’t waffle be specific
    • Use illustrations if possible to add clarity and visual aids
    • Include a call to action (tell them what you want them to do next)
