And how do you know which tips are most effective and who\u2019s offering the best advice?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truth be told, it all boils down to three things. Master each of these, and rest assured your website content will have rightfully earned the crown.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Know your audience, well.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you first sit down to write anything \u2013 a blog post, an e-mail, even a text \u2013 the first thing you take note of, even before deciding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you want to write something, is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you\u2019re actually writing to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Am I right? No one thinks, \u201cI\u2019ve got some really important things to say, now I\u2019ve got to write out my message, edit it, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">then<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decide who would understand it best.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No way. Something comes to mind, then your immediate next thought is who you want to share it with. Then you start developing how you\u2019re going to say it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it stands to reason that before you start writing website content, you\u2019ve got to decide who you\u2019re directing your message toward, i.e. your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask yourself, \u201cWho is my primary audience (those most inclined to purchase or be interested in my product or service)?\u201d These are your main customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then think about your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/secondary-target-audience-81046.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">secondary audience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, those who may be part of the decision-making process for your primary audience, or those who may be interested in your products or services at a later time or lower frequency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re selling grill equipment, your primary audience may be single or married men between the ages of 24 and 55 who own homes. Your secondary audience may be married women in a similar age range who own homes, as they may be the ones purchasing such equipment either to use themselves or as a gift for their husbands (primary audience).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-2.jpg?resize=550%2C522&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to write content on website\" width=\"550\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-2.jpg?w=550&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-2.jpg?resize=300%2C285&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you\u2019ll want to consider the obvious questions with your primary and secondary audience in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What information about your product or service do they need to know in order to make a purchase? What kind of questions or concerns might they have?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where knowledge about your audience really influences what you include when writing website content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, as a grill equipment provider, you know that your primary audience\u2019s first questions are usually whether a grill is gas-powered or electric. They want to know what size the grill is, both in length and height, for fit, as well as the size of the cooking grates, for food capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, your secondary audience may be interested not only in those details but also in safety features for use around children or perhaps aesthetics for how the grill will fit in with the rest of the outdoor furniture and equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details such as these are details you\u2019ll want to make sure you cover while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kissmetrics.com\/75-copywriting-resources\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writing copy for your website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the \u201cmake-or-break a deal\u201d kind of details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve covered the essentials, focus on writing website content that\u2019s interesting, fun and engaging. That hits the right tone of voice. That\u2019s organized appropriately. With CTAs that really pack a punch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these things are guaranteed to miss the mark completely if you don\u2019t know your audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So do your research and get to know them. Well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Focus your website content around SEO keyword research.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First came the days of just owning a web domain and filling your pages with the right information and some pretty pictures to liven things up. Then came a focus on link building. Then keyword stuffing and \u201cblack hat\u201d SEO. And now, here we are at the crossroads of accurate keyword research and writing website content that complements it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-3.jpg?resize=640%2C368&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to write content on website\" width=\"640\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-3.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-3.jpg?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-3.jpg?resize=768%2C442&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from knowing your audience, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/top-4-seo-strategies-for-business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">executing proper SEO keyword research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the first thing you should do, before you even start writing website content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because the more effective your use of keywords, the higher rank your site will get via organic search. Meaning it\u2019ll generate more click-throughs and web traffic than those listed further down in the search results. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sounds complicated, but it\u2019s really not that hard of a task. With the right tools. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.google.com\/home\/tools\/keyword-planner\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google AdWords<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keyword Planner<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a favorite option of many. It\u2019s a paid tool if you want to run live ads, but it\u2019s free to use for some keyword research. Plus you get some high-level insight into search volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another easy way to come up with keywords is by running some searches on Google. You\u2019ll need to run some searches and scroll down to the bottom of the search results to see common phrases used when searching for that topic. But you won\u2019t be able to get an idea around possible search volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you try searching \u201ctop rated outdoor grills\u201d via Google,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-6.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9252\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-6.png?resize=640%2C63&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to write content on website\" width=\"640\" height=\"63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-6.png?w=823&amp;ssl=1 823w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-6.png?resize=300%2C30&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-6.png?resize=768%2C76&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and scroll down to the bottom of the page, you\u2019ll find the below list of related searches:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-4.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9250\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-4.png?resize=640%2C226&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to write content on website\" width=\"640\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-4.png?w=726&amp;ssl=1 726w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-4.png?resize=300%2C106&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After reviewing this information, you may want to consider writing website content that includes phrases like \u201cbest gas grills on the market\u201d vs. \u201ctop rated gas grills on the market\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thinks to keep in mind though \u2013 don\u2019t sacrifice quality copy by keyword stuffing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meaning, if you find a highly searched phrase like says, \u201coutdoor gourmet grills\u201d, don\u2019t go around replacing \u201cgrill\u201d for \u201coutdoor gourmet grill\u201d in every section of your website. You might end up overcomplicating content, confusing customers or just making your copy sound contrived and robotic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Organize and break up your website content for readability<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you get really excited to read industry white papers? Owner\u2019s manuals? Scholarly articles?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Didn\u2019t think so. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, the heavy content and blas\u00e9 topics usually featured in these types of materials aren\u2019t going to peak most people\u2019s interest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there are two specific things that really erode their ability to engage from the get-go:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-winded sections of content. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No (or small, black and white) images.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People have short attention spans. And they\u2019re getting shorter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I mean, who can forget <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/3858309\/attention-spans-goldfish\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft\u2019s 2015 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which measured people\u2019s attention spans at about eight seconds\u2026the equivalent of that of a goldfish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when people pick up a paper or go to read a webpage that looks like a never-ending waterfall of words, scrolling down, down, down\u2026they\u2019ll not only be visually intimidated but if you haven\u2019t caught their attention in eight seconds or less, you\u2019re probably going to lose them entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-5.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9251\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-5.jpg?resize=514%2C514&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to write content on website\" width=\"514\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-5.jpg?w=278&amp;ssl=1 278w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/secrets-5.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While writing website content, do what you can to turn one endless page of words into a well laid out collection of copy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Break up long paragraphs with spaces. Use bulleted lists to note features. Build out a framework with shorter sections of content, strategically placed vs. big chunks of words that can be overwhelming for your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don\u2019t forget the images. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest and best ways to make your website content more interesting and engaging is by strategically adding images to break up the copy.

Invite customers to share their photos. Create original graphics for using free online tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canva<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And whatever you do, avoid the temptation to use stock photos\u2026the same stock photos that have been used a million times over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not a good look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By effectively organizing your copy and adding appropriate, original images to break up your website content, you\u2019ll be creating a better overall user experience for your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, back to the (digital) age-old question\u2026is content really king?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes\u2026and no.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can hire the best copywriters in the world, edit their work 20 times, including all the right details\u2026but if you don\u2019t:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">know your audience,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/seo-keyword\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO quality keywords<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and organize and accent content effectively with white space and images,<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your website is going to suffer.
