How to Write Content for a Website - 9 Steps

Website content is an important aspect of a good website. The content of a website must have originality. It will help in making a website perform better, get higher rankings, and result in better business growth. And this can be done by the Writing Professionals and Digital Marketing Experts

Following steps should be followed for writing content for a website:

1.  1. Target your Audience: First and the foremost factor in content writing is knowing your target audience. Web content writers must research and assess that what the audience wants to know, accordingly the content has to be created. For an existing website, Google Analytics will help you get an insight into the action; users are making and can understand the type of audience and their choices and requirements.

2.   2. Structure the content: After knowing the target audience, you can plan how to structure your content. You can divide the overall content into various categories and create sections and sub-sections for the content. Different pages can be developed for different groups of content. Search Engines will help users to reach the content when they search for the same.  

3.   3.  Headlines and Captions: Headlines of the content should be effective and catchy. Most of the people only read the headlines and very few actually read the content (mostly users read not more than 20% of the page content) that is why the headlines are equally important. The most important information of your content should be written first. 

    The user should be able to find the required information first, from which they will come to know what your business is and subsequently they can find the details of it. Users normally don’t read the whole webpage; they just have a glance at it. The information should be conveyed through headlines, image captions, and bullet points. Users don’t spend much time on one page.

4.   4. Content formatting: Use of bold and CAPS should be done for giving emphasis, but these should be used sparingly and effectively. Too much use of these will reduce their effectiveness. Different font sizes can be used for the content with more important information having a larger text.

5.    5. Content should be simple and specific: The content should be simple. The users don’t want to read the complicated text. Be specific in writing your text. The user should feel that the text is written for him/her only. Too much use of strong vocabulary will drag users away from your website. The content should be written keeping the SEO in mind.  There is no ideal count of words for an article or a blog. There can be a target to have an average word count of 1000 to 1500 words for a blog, but that should not stop the writer from writing the article completely. But the focus of the content should be its quality. Responses and quotes of the experts and the customers must be included to add credibility to the website.

6.     6. Use of links: Internal links should be created to take the users from the article page to the product or the service page. Links can be created for taking the users from the latest article to an older article for reference and vice versa.

7.    7. Images: Including visuals in addition to the text increases the impact of the website. Images used in the website as a part of the content should have suitable titles and captions. Images should be optimized with respect to their size and image quality, naming them with the focus keyword. The search engines will be able to reach your website and assess its ranking capability.

8.   8. Linking the Search results and the Content: For each main page of the website Search Engine results page should be created, which will help users to reach the content organically.

9.     9. Add Tags: Proper tags must be used and keywords should also be included to ensure better visibility of the website.

Conclusion: Writing content is a skillful act and is never easy, but the writer has to be passionate and have knowledge about the topics, and follow the best practices then it becomes easier. The content has to be relevant and needs to be updated in order to draw more traffic to your site.
