The term copywriting refers to words that are used specifically for the promotion (marketing) of people, products, services or businesses. It can refer to the “copy” of any printed material but for this purpose we are referring to online copywriting.
There are a number of ways that the promotional qualities of copywriting can be used online. The website content is generally promoting a business, products or services or in the case of personal or celebrity pages the copy is promoting the person.
There are best practices in copywriting, which lead to attractive, interesting reading without being rhetorical or overly superlative. Copy that contains too many descriptors such as “awesome”, “extraordinary”, “number one” or “world class” can work against the purpose. Readers have become desensitized to the overuse of superlatives. Unless you can quantify the descriptor it is best not to overuse them.
Content can be promotional, and online often is. But it can also be informative, educational or even provocative.
SEO Copywriting
For most online copy the objective is to drive traffic and search engines to the webpage or article site. Traffic can lead to conversion to commerce (sales or inbound calls), which for most companies is the overall objective.
Developing SEO Copy uses the “keyword” to generate interest and attract both the visitor and the search engine to the site. The keyword is a term that the search would use to find services and products or companies such as yours. Often it is more than a word, but a phrase or combination of words that leads people and search engines to your copy.
Benefits of SEO Copywriting
Good copy is critical for good traffic. Unique and well-written SEO Copywriting makes a statement about the business, products or services it represents. Balancing the promotional purpose with interesting content takes expertise and experience.
Visitors often connect to good resources, either by bookmarking the page, linking or sharing the reference. This helps with SEO results, traffic building and can help convert visitors to customers.
