Clear words close deals. The right copy makes your offer obvious, lowers risk, and points the way forward—while aligning with how your buyers search. Here’s a practical framework to define your voice, outline pages that convert, align with SEO, and measure results.
Define a voice you can keep using
Pick one option across three sliders and stay consistent site-wide: Tone (Formal ↔ Conversational ↔ Playful), Energy (Calm ↔ Confident ↔ Bold), Vocabulary (Everyday ↔ Expert-lite ↔ Technical). Add 3–5 voice pillars like “plain-spoken,” “data-backed,” “friendly.” Pull phrases from sales calls and emails—your best copy is already in your customers’ words.
Map copy to the buyer journey
Every page should answer: what is it, why us, what next? A reliable service-page outline: H1 value proposition; subhead with a concrete payoff; CTA; 3–5 outcome blocks; 3-step process; social proof; FAQ; closing CTA. For page skeletons and conversion patterns, see Website Design That Sells While You Sleep .
Align with SEO—without sounding robotic
Assign one primary keyword (e.g., “website content writing services”) and 2–4 supporting terms. Use the primary in the title tag, H1, first 100 words, and a subhead if natural. Write a meta description that earns the click. Use descriptive anchor text for internal links to SEO services, blog packages, and relevant posts. Keep image alt text descriptive, not stuffed.
Structure for scanners
Short paragraphs, descriptive subheads every 200–300 words, bullets for lists, numerals for specifics (“+38% leads in 60 days”), pull-quotes near CTAs, and microcopy where hesitation occurs (below buttons, near forms, beside price). Use action verbs for CTAs: Get, See, Book, Start, Review.
Turn features into outcomes
Translate feature → benefit → outcome and prove it. Example: ADA-ready components → easier navigation → more completed forms. Attach a review snippet or stat to each outcome block.
Landing pages vs. service pages
Landing pages (ads/social) are hyper-specific: mirror ad language, one CTA, minimal navigation, slim content, heavy proof near the button. Service pages (organic) go broader: use cases, process, FAQs, and multiple relevant CTAs. For landing frameworks, see Landing Pages That Convert .
FAQs that lower friction
Pick 4–6 questions you answer weekly: timeline, what’s included, whether you write copy or edit theirs, platform support (Shopify/Woo). Keep answers short and link deeper where needed—e.g., eCommerce Website Design .
Editing checklist you can run in 15 minutes
H1 says what you do for whom; each section opens with an outcome-first subhead; fluff replaced with specifics; one primary CTA plus safety-net link; links are descriptive; voice pillars intact. Read aloud—stumbles = rewrites.
Repurpose and distribute
Each post becomes a LinkedIn update, a Facebook summary, a 4–5 slide carousel, and an email snippet. Use UTMs on social links so you can see traffic and assisted conversions in GA4. For cadence, see Monthly Blog Packages and Posting Calendar Template .
Measure and iterate
Track engaged sessions and conversions in GA4; watch Search Console for queries and CTR. Add heatmaps to key pages. Test one element at a time: headline (outcome vs. category), CTA label, proof placement, or a shorter form. Revisit copy 30–60 days post-launch.
