8 Top Tips When Copywriting for a Small Business

When copywriting for a small business it is important to keep in mind that you’re building the business from the ground up. With this in mind, we need to start laying strong copy foundations for a small business website design package. Now I know what you’re thinking here, “Where do I start”. Be sure to follow the next 8 tips to ensure that your business’s digital launch platform has strong content foundations.

1: Develop a copywriting content strategy

Before you get started like all things in life it’s important to develop a plan for how you will structure the content for your website. When developing a copywriting strategy you will usually develop what we in the biz like to call pillar content. This content is usually the main topics related to the services that your small business provides. Let’s say for example that you’re a plumber.

Your core content pillars might be:

Household and urban plumbing.
Industrial plumbing
Rural plumbing

The content under each of these core pillar content areas will all be about plumbing although the content being created will be vastly different. By developing these content categories early on google will have a much easier time determining what your business is about.

2: Establish your businesses tone of voice

I’m sure you have heard this phrase used around the traps a few times and it is incredibly important when starting out on your small business journey. This step in the process is all about getting to know your key customers and how best to communicate with them. The tone of voice for your content is simply how your content will be written. Will it be casual or do your customers require a formal approach? This will differ across industries and sometimes even within the same industry.

A plumber for example may adopt a formal approach when dealing directly with home builders. Whereas a casual approach may be a much better fit when engaging with homeowners directly. With this in mind make sure you write down all of your potential audiences and start to make some notes on strategies to best communicate with your audiences.

3: Identify SEO opportunities and keywords

Effective SEO is an essential component of any small business content strategy. This is where you take those pillar content ideas as well as your key services and begin to plug them into an SEO tool such as SEM Rush or AHREFS to identify content & landing page opportunities. opportunities. When starting out make sure you are targeting low-competition keywords that are related to your primary content pillars. This will help your website build authority as quickly as possible.

Great places to start may be to pick the low-hanging fruit known as long tail keywords. An example may be “How do I fix a leaking tap”. This topic is a fantastic opportunity for a blog article while linking back to your main pillar content page of household and urban plumbing.

4: Discover the intent of your content

When you’re just starting out as a small business your intent will usually be to source traffic and new customers for your small business. Therefore the core aim of your content will be to educate and inform your audience in an attempt to establish your business as the authority within the industry. If you are providing great content such as a blog how-to post or even commenting on topical issues within the industry you will be able to establish a rapport with your readers.

Within your content make sure that you make note of what sets you apart from the rest of the industry. This will help you differentiate your products and services while carving out your own niche in the industry.

5: Identify your customers pain points

This is where we refer back to our website’s core content pillars. What are the pain points for customers under each of those pillars and how can they be best addressed within the website’s content? Are customers sick and tired of waiting a week for a plumber to arrive? Can the content suggest band-aid fixes until things can be fixed by a professional? Customers appreciate articles that lend a hand during a time of need and they often keep it in mind when it comes to seeking professional advice.

So grab a pen and paper and draw out three columns with each of your key content pillars. Within each column write down the key pain points for each target audience. Once completed start framing each of those pain points into potential blog article titles.

6: Don't write for the sake of writing

Don’t get me wrong I’m well aware of the old adage that content is king, although it is important to remember that you need to be writing with purpose and intent in mind. At the end of the day, you want your readers to be captivated by your sticky/engaging content and you want to leave them wanting more. Creating content for the sake of having content is a great way to kill the vibe and scare away potential customers.

A great strategy for avoiding this pitfall is to stick closely to your customers pain points while asking yourself what problem am I solving with this article?

7: Stay local or within your niche

The online world is an incredibly competitive place for a small business especially if you are just starting out. To help build authority for your business and website it’s important to stay within your area of expertise. Do you operate within a specific local area? Are you an expert on laundry plumbing? Targeting these niche areas will help a hell of a lot in search engine rankings while making your business the go-to for a specific niche.
