Copywriting for SEO
Someone beautifully quoted, "You can stroke people with your
words".
For a writer, there is nothing more fulfilling then creating a
new piece, an original article that benefits his reader. Writing
anything involves, thought, research, subbing and editing, not
necessarily in that order always.
You have won half your battle if your client has loved what you
have created for him on the basis of his given brief to you. But
you only reach the end result, when your words have made a
difference and have resulted in benefits for the clients. That
is to say, the readers have been targeted right! How does that
happen? There are a few simple steps to it. Let's get started.
1- Understand. Listen. Learn. When you have keenly observed the
clients brief, you have understood his requirements, there is
little chance of you going wrong and deviating in terms of The
topic and writing style. If you are unsure of the client's brief
an specifications, inquire and ask till your mind is clear of
any doubts with regards to what you need to create for him.
Remember, the content and the writing style is aimed to target a
specific audience and if you can do that, you have delivered the
goods.
2- Search and Research. If you are unsure about the topic that
you are writing on, search and research the web. Better still;
ask the client for useful link to develop content rather then
spending time creating something that is not even close to the
clients agenda.
3- Plan your copy. SEO Copywriting literally demands that the
copy is tactically placed to optimize the search engine rankings
of the written pages. First you need to write a foolproof,
striking, attention-grabbing copy and then decided the placement
of the keyword.
4- Wordsworth. An SEO copywriter must realize that he is
targeting the audience as well as the search engine and his copy
can make or break the client's agenda. Therefore, to work in
tandem with the Business goals of the client, the writer must
strive to achieve high standards in his SEO copywriting to offer
a creative, business oriented, keyword centric copy.
