One challenge for copy and content writers regarding websites is creating engaging stories while still taking search engine optimization into account.
Since visibility is important, it’s often tempting to adjust page content to maximize SEO, without considering how it might affect how the reader reacts to it. It’s good to be visible, but if the content doesn’t engage the reader, how much have you truly accomplished by bringing the reader to your site.
This Balancing Act Isn’t New. Just More Complicated.
““You cannot bore people into buying your product – you can only interest them in buying it,” said advertising great David Ogilvy, who knew a thing or two about melding creative communications with science. His agency, Ogilvy and Mather (now one of the world’s largest) was among the first to use market research to shape the campaigns created for their clients, which included Sears, Rolls-Royce, Guinness, and Dove. The challenge was similar to balancing content and SEO: use the science and data to shape the creative message—but still make it attention-getting and persuasive.
Nowadays, successful messaging requires that you use the right research, the right copy, AND the right SEO to reach your customers.
