What makes an excellent SEO copywriter?
Why do you need SEO copywriting?
If your website is lost in the huge crowd on the internet, if all the information you have put up online is failing to get you results, if search engines are ignoring your website . . .. . . you need to wake up to the benefits of SEO copywriting.
I. What is SEO copywriting?
- What does SEO copywriting do: SEO copywriting stands for Search Engine Optimization copywriting. SEO copywriting is designing the web content of your website in such a way that it can direct both traffic and business to you.
- Attracts visitors: With several websites about the same product present, too much irrelevant text on your website can give the internet-users an easy option - move on to another website. SEO copywriting provides that extra something which stops users from moving on. Web content must be organized, new and informative. This can convert visitors into customers. SEO copywriting ensures just that.
- High rankings: In SEO copywriting it is understood that a very important means to direct web-traffic to your website is high ranking by popular search engines like Google, Yahoo!. In SEO copywriting this is achieved by optimizing your website content and peppering it with primary and secondary keywords so that search engines can track your website and list it. Relevant content implies better rankings. SEO copywriting thus directs free high-quality traffic to your website.
II. Why is SEO copywriting important?
Internet Marketing is a commonly used phrase today. Most firms from every industry/sector are enjoying its benefits. To gain critical exposure by popular search engines, it is obviously important to get good rankings in their searches. SEO Copywriting is important because it gives your website visibility, more traffic and an opportunity for your business to better the existing turnover.The high rankings achieved by SEO copywriting result in the increase of website-visitors. It is worthless, if your copywriter can only make your website a crowd puller. So, the web content needs to be designed in such a way that visitors become buyers and potential customers are continually attracted.
This is the dual role SEO copywriting fulfills which can boost your business in a big way.
III. How do search engines work?
- Spiders: The idea behind SEO copywriting lies in the fact as to how search engines rank sites. Search engines have 'crawlers' or 'spiders' which 'feed on' the keywords entered. Thus in SEO copywriting the web content is sprinkled with keywords. But this must not be overdone. If the keywords - both primary and secondary - constitute more than 3-4% of the total content, then there is a risk of your website being BANNED from all search engines as your website would be considered SPAM.
- Importance: Google does not favor 'cloaking' websites which is basically deceiving readers. This becomes an important guideline for SEO content writing as there is a need to strike balance between enticing readers and attracting spiders. An SEO friendly site map is an example of pleasing both the audiences.
- Easy to access: 'Spiders' are mono-lingual. They can only understand HTML. Now, search engines do not list websites but web pages. Hence, each page should be optimized during the process of SEO Copywriting. Links with two or three clicks are ideal.
IV. What attracts customers?
- Easy to read website copy: In SEO copywriting it is understood that most internet users look forward to scan the web content instead of reading the each line carefully (although many would still do it). These users include people from all strata of society. Hence readability and scan-ability is vital for a successful website and this must be kept in mind during the process of SEO copywriting.
- Relevance: Many websites are full of 'fluff', i.e., text which does not contribute to the content. This is avoided in SEO copywriting as it only puts off readers. Relevant information is what they are looking for. 'Brochure websites' which act as big advertisements only do not leave a good impression.
- Call for action: If a visitor becomes a customer, he would be paying money to get his job done. Potential customers must not be made to search for details to get in touch with you. Name of the firm and the details for getting in touch are hence clearly mentioned during SEO copywriting. It helps build recognition.
