copywriting for search engine optimisation

Interesting word of the day: erstwhile - former, previous.

Why optimise website content?

Search engines use words to explore, classify, rank and rate websites. Optimising website content helps make a site more visible to search engines. So copywriting for SEO is a key element of the online marketing mix.

As part of an intelligent SEO strategy, optimised content delivers significant commercial and competitive advantages:

How does optimised site content work?

SEO optimised content - Keeping search engines happy

It's entirely logical. If you want your pink widgets company to pop up on page one of Google and co when a searcher types in pink widgets, you need to mention pink widgets on site. All you're doing is telling search engines - clearly and methodically - exactly what to focus on when analysing a web page.

Writing for SEO - Keeping human readers entertained and informed

At the same time it's really important to take human needs into account. Content should always be accurate, entertaining and informative. People don't enjoy reading copy that's over-stuffed with key words. Nor do search engines. Overcook it and you risk being penalised.

Optimised content - The marketing bit...

Last but never least, content should always pack a big commercial punch. That's where the direct marketing bit comes in. Every good website page deserves a call to action!
