Is your website content comprehensive?

Is your website content comprehensive?

The goal here is to ensure that your page has sufficient detailed website copy on it to allow Google to distinguish it from any other web page on your website.

If your web pages do not have comprehensive web copy on them, then they may be considered “thin content” by Google.

This means that Google may not deem your website pages to be important enough to be included in the Google index and ranked for any searches.

What does not having comprehensive copy look like?

All you need to do is make sure that there are enough words on the page?

How many words are enough? Well, it depends.

It’s accepted that between 300 and 500 words is enough to make a page unique.

Remember it’s important to consider how many words there are already on your page BEFORE you add content. The words in the navigation, the site bar and the footer of your web page template are repeated across all pages.

If there is a lot of copy in the template alone, this just means you need to add more web page text to make sure your page is comprehensive enough to be unique.

If your most relevant pages, the ones you want to rank and get found have insufficient words on them, say less that 300 words, then you should start adding additional, keyword rich, compelling web copy to those pages.

Do you have conversion content on your site?

Do you have conversion content on your site?

Does your copy tell people who you are and how you can help them?

It’s imperative that your website copy helps people to make In the decision to do business with you.

It can do this by:

  • Quickly telling people who you are
  • Giving them some information on your background and experience
  • Demonstrating that you have experience helping people just like them
  • Demonstrating that you have in fact had results helping people like them solve their problems or get a specific result
  • By having an understanding of who your target customer is your web copy will speak to their problems and fears and position your products and services as a solution to their problems.

I like to call this type of content “Conversion Content” as it helps people move along the path to becoming customers.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR CONTENT ADEQUATELY TELLS THEM WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU CAN HELP:

  • Do you have a comprehensive About Us page that explains who you are, your skills and your experience and how you can use your skills and experience to solve your customer’s problems.
  • Do you have information on your site about how your products or services assist in resolving peoples problems?
  • Do you have case studies on your site showing how you solved people’s problems in the past
  • Do you have customer testimonials on your site where clients talk about the outcomes of buying your products or using your services
  • Do you have helpful content like tools, checklists, whitepapers, explainer videos, trials, that help demonstrate your competency and explain your approach to solving their problems?
  • Do you talk about the particular market you serve, the people you help so that people visiting your website can determine quickly whether you are the person they should be doing business with?
