How To Create Good Website Content

The creation of website content matters the most. It can make your website or even break it. Make sure that the quality of website content is exceptional because it determines the success or failure of your website. Quality website content enables visitors to do business with your company. A website’s content is important for your business as it serves vital functions including:

• It generates leads
• Drives traffic to your website
• Helps in conveying marketing messages to the target audience
• It persuades potential customers to take action such as sign-up, make a purchase, etc.

You need to bear some important things in mind while creating website content.

Always create original content                                   

Keep in mind that duplicate content no matter how good is it cannot help you to achieve your desired business goals. The original content exists longer in Google and goes well to your visitors. When you duplicate other people’s content, you’re more likely to get punished from Google as it happened with ezine articles. Do you remember the name? Of course, you do because they were on top of the list in Google but ultimately got hit by Google’s algorithm update that ensures preventing bad content from ranking high.

Identify your target audience

Always bear your target audience in your mind before creating a website’s content. Make sure to know about their needs and language, and it would be better if you create a buyer persona to start the process.

Define Content Goals

Your content should serve a purpose, and you need to set content goals. Focus on the following important aspects of your website content:

• What purpose will your website content serve?
• Which keywords will drive the traffic to your website?
• What tone do you need to follow (educational, 1st person, 3rd person, etc)?

Bear all these things in mind to ensure yielding optimum outcomes for your website.

Don’t forget the SEO

Undoubtedly, every business owner wants his/her website to be ranked on the first Google search result page. SEO is vital to serve this purpose and make sure to optimise your website content. Focus on good SEO practices to drive more traffic to your website such as one keyword phrase per page, include a keyword in the title, subheadings, meta tags, page’s URL, image alt tags or file name, and hyperlink.

Provides value through your content

Google appreciates and rewards you if people stay on your website’s page longer. It is known as “dwell time”, and you may know it as “bounce rate”. It refers to the time when the user clicks on your search result and goes back to the search result. By optimising these metrics can help you to achieve rank on Google’s first page.

Be Clear & Concise

Make your content readable and ensure writing it in an active voice. Keep the construction of the sentences simple but meaningful and use strong verbs. Google prefers the readability of your website content.

Make the subject matter deeper

Your website content should dive deeper into a subject matter ensuring simple sentence construction that appeals to a wider audience. Google rewards those websites with content in exceptional depth such as long-form articles, but make sure to provide value to your visitors.
