5 Hot Tips for Awesome Website Content

Here’s the good news: You can make your content awesome, user-friendly and stickier than a stick that’s been stuck in a large pot of honey.

The bad news: People will initially stay on your website for a grand total of 5-10 seconds. If you don’t get them glued to your page with your honey-stick before that, they’re gone. Gone for good, most likely.

So here’s the plan: At ZOFELA, an award-winning digital agency in China, we love helping businesses out with their SEO content, among other things. So today we’re going to share with you our 5 hot tips for awesome website content that will get you more leads, boost engagement and ultimately increase your profit levels!

Hot Tip #1 – Be Relevant

There’s a person Googling for rainbow striped toe socks in China right now, or maybe they’re looking for cupcake catering for events in Brunswick, or searching for exactly what your business does. Your job is to be relevant to the searches that your clients or customers are going to be making in Google. So when your new potential customer lands on your site, they’ll find relevant and valuable information on your area of expertise. Relevant and valuable are both sticky qualities you should aim for with your content.

Hot Tip #2 – Keep Your Content Concise

Get to the point quickly and stay on topic. That’s pretty much it. See? Concise.

Hot Tip #3 – Mind Your Grammar and Spelling

Nothing spells unprofessional more quickly than a grammatical or spelling error in your content. You might think it doesn’t matter that much, but it does matter. The Writing Gods are offended, and they will direct customers away from your site as a punishment. We mean it. But in all seriousness, it actually takes away from your authority when you have simple errors in your content, so ensure that you edit and proofread everything thoroughly. Be especially careful if you claim great attention to detail as a selling point of your service. We don’t need to explain the irony there.

Hot Tip #4 – Write for Humans not Bots

One of the keys to amazing content is to remember that you’re not just writing for Google or other website crawling SEO bots, you’re writing for living, breathing, buying human customers. So the content needs to be easy to read. Space it out with headings and white areas without words on your web page so the eye has room to breathe. Use bullet points that are simple to scan, as your website readers don’t have a lot of time − they want the information instantly! Make your content scannable so they can find what they’re looking for more quickly.

Hot Tip #5 – Use Images

Sometimes an image or two can really help to break up slabs of text and create an attention-grabbing item on the page. Try to use images that are original and unique to your company. You could insert stock images, although this has been an overused tactic on the internet of late. Pictures of your actual company and employees will give a better flavour of your individual business identity and branding. Why not hire a photographer for a day and get some decent original shots to use in your content?
