Nice, short and to the point article hitting some valid points that clients should be aware of, first and foremost, AND that SEO’s should be migrating towards. Better content. Period. We get asked all the time about content and is it just page text. No. It is much more than just page text. It is your graphics, your videos, your CTA’s, your blog articles, your links being built, your emails, your social posts, etc… And yes, your page text fits in there as well. Your points hit the bulk of discussions we have with our clients and we’ve written about this before, but maybe not in such a clear-cut, here it is, type of way. I enjoyed reading it, Heather! Thanks!

Great post! Really like the punch you have added to convey how important healthy website content is. Being a content writer myself, I understand very well that content can make or break the image of your website. Professional content writing is not something that companies can ignore the importance of. Keep such posts coming. I am subscribing to your newsletter right away! :)

In reply to Katie.

Katie, hi!

Thanks for your comment! There’s nothing worse than reading “pretentious jerk” sites that make you think, “Wow. There’s no way that I would want to work with these folks. Who wants to work with a company that makes them feel stupid?”

LOL, I rarely pick up the phone anymore. Besides, seeing how fast a company gets back to me on email is a great way to “test” them. After all, if I don’t get a response within one business day, I doubt that trend is going to get better if I sign on the dotted line…

Terrific post, Ms. Heather.

#2 — I find humor works really effectively for both engaging and “teaching” (without coming across as a pretentious jerk). If your work is smart, there’s no reason to slam people over the head with it.

#4 — This is perfect. Finally someone understands that people don’t want to have to TALK to anyone on the phone anymore. I want to vet via internet, and then if I like what I see / read, I MIGHT pick up the phone… but I’m not promising anything.

Thanks for breaking it down :)

Hi Heather,

Another great post, thanks. :-)

Reminds me of the Seth Godin quote, “The conversation *is* the brand.”

Best wishes from Scotland,
