How much to write on a web page

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 10:13 PM PDT

How much web content is too much?

When writing for the web, there is no hard and fast rule for how much content you should write. How much you should write will depend on a number of things – for instance if you are a photographer, then the images you have produced in the past are likely to be far more effective than words. There is the obvious argument that you need content for SEO but Google and other search engines have advanced in terms of the way they evaluate content so writing reams of content stuffed with keywords no longer works like it did once upon a time.

It’s also worth asking how much information is too much information for potential customers. Is it better to tell all, including price, and then hope that readers will become customers or is it better to say enough to encourage them to make contact so that your sales team can get to work reinforcing your competitive advantage? The answer here is that it depends on the type of product or service you offer, as well as competitive factors.

Higher involvement products usually require more content

If you have a low value, low-involvement product that everybody uses then you don’t need much content to sell that product. Take socks for example, everybody uses them but not many people think about ‘luxury socks’. They just want to buy socks – quickly, decent quality, reasonable price…SOLD.

Then take something like a sports car at the opposite end of the spectrum – it’s more costly, it’s a higher involvement product (purchasing decision takes longer, more thought etc.). In this instance, you may need more content to sell the benefits of your sports car – what makes it better than a Ferrari, Aston Martin or Lamborghini. You need to communicate this – and if a test drive is the proof potential customers need, then your content needs to encourage a test drive.

All products fall somewhere along the ‘involvement scale’ in terms of the decision-making process. Knowing where your product or service sits will help determine the amount of content you need.

If you have a technical product – does your target market need to know the technical details? Do they understand the technical details? If the technical details don’t come into the purchasing decision, then they don’t need to be added.

In summary, focus on the information that sells your product, don’t use 10 words where one will do and be as short and direct as possible. If you follow these rules, you won’t have written too much – you’ll have written enough. Layout is another factor, which we will discuss next week.

We Got Tired of Seeing Poorly Written Content

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 09:32 AM PDT

When companies decide to outsource their content needs to an SEO company or web content company, in most cases you can tell immediately that the content was not created by someone within the company. Instead, the content absolutely reeks of carelessness, passion, and someone getting paid $1 per article/blog post to hammer out as many as possible in small amounts of time. This is not who you want representing your company or website. It can cause your website to have an air of “flakiness” and seem non genuine. Besides, your content is your website’s heart and soul – not the place to skimp on quality.

This is where we come in. We’re the other guys. We’re Expertly Worded.

When a customer comes to us needing a blog, article, item description (or what have you) written for their website, we see our first job as thoroughly getting to know their company and what it’s all about. This puts us on the right track for producing quality content in the “voice” of our customer’s website. Maintaining a consistent “voice” throughout the website is of utmost importance. Seriously, we can’t stress this enough.

We then get right to work on producing content that is guaranteed to enhance your companies web presence. First, we thoroughly research the subjects you need written on, both with you and our other resources, to ensure everything is accurate and thorough. No one wants to follow a website who’s content is unreliable. We like to think we help a website establish it’s reputation for being an expert in whatever industry they may be in by providing great material and resources for their visitors/customers.

All of this is done within a time frame that we establish with you based on your needs, and for the best price around. Email us today: customercare@expertlyworded.com or visit our website: www.expertlyworded.com . Let’s get started!

Simply put – We got tired of seeing poorly written content and fed up with seeing companies pay for it. We decided to be part of the resolution.

Let’s quickly review: Email marketing works.

In fact, none of the shiny new communication technologies even come close. With more than 188 billion messages sent every day, email is a more important and influential tool for your business than it has ever been.

Email isn’t going anywhere, and we think it’s time you got serious about building your email list.

Our StudioPress division has built the Generate theme for WordPress to help you get that done.

Here’s a quick look at how the Generate theme can help you build your email list …

Build your email list faster

Email list-building can be a time-consuming (and frustrating) endeavor, but one thing remains true, engaged email subscribers are the most likely to respond to your work and your offers. Period.

And it may surprise you to learn that one of the best ways to gain an email subscriber is to simply ask your readers to sign up to your list.

The Generate theme for WordPress lets you ask simply, boldly, and with the benefit to your reader standing unmistakably front and center.

Generate works for you — whether you remember to ask for the opt-in or not — 24 hours a day, elegantly doing the asking for you.

What about mobile readers?

Most of us now read email from our mobile devices, so you’ve got to make sure you have those mobile readers covered.

The Generate theme for WordPress is mobile responsive. That means it automatically adapts for the best viewing layout on mobile devices and tablets, including iPhone and iPad. So your content looks fantastic, no matter which device the visitor is using.

Your content looks great, and your email opt-in stays constant — not missing or hard-to-find, as it can be on some less sophisticated “mobile-ready” sites.

You don’t need to do anything tricky or technical, because mobile responsive design is built in to the Generate theme.
