The Guide to Writing Content That Converts
Your site is up, the essential pages are created. What's next? Copywriting is not the art of manipulation; it's the art of being clear, useful, and guiding a visitor to a specific action. By the end of this guide, you will know exactly how to write your pages to turn your visitors into customers.
1. The 5-Step Structure That Works Every Time
Forget the blank page. An effective sales page almost always follows this logical structure because it matches your ideal customer's mental journey.
Step 1: The Problem
Start by describing your customer's problem. Show them you understand. Example: "Losing customers because your site isn't professional?"
Step 2: The Solution
Present your service as the obvious solution. Example: "We create modern showcase sites that inspire trust and set you apart."
Step 3: The Benefits
Don't describe what your product *does*, but what it *provides*. Example: instead of "Site made with Next.js", say "An ultra-fast site that improves your SEO and doesn't scare away your visitors."
Step 4: The Proof
Why should they believe you? Provide proof: customer testimonials, case studies, portfolio, certifications... This is crucial for local SEO and trust.
Step 5: The Call to Action (CTA)
Clearly tell the user what to do. Use an action verb. Example: "Request a free quote", "Book an appointment".
2. Speak Your Customer's Language, Not Yours
This is the most common mistake: using technical jargon or marketing terms that only you understand. To write content that converts, put yourself in your ideal customer's shoes.
- What words do they use to describe their problem?
- What frustrates them the most?
- What is their ultimate goal? (They don't want a "website," they want "more customers," "a more professional image," "to save time").
Every time you describe a feature, add the phrase "so that...".
Example: "We use optimized images... so that your site loads instantly, even on mobile." This simple copywriting technique forces you to think about the customer benefit.
3. The Anatomy of an Effective Call to Action (CTA)
Your CTA is the mandatory gateway to conversion. It must be visible, clear, and unambiguous.
A good CTA checklist:
- Use an action verb: "Get", "Start", "Contact", "Discover".
- Be specific: "Get my free quote" is better than "Submit".
- Create visual contrast: The button should stand out from the rest of the page.
- Place it logically: After making your case, it's time to propose the action.
- Is my main headline clear and focused on a benefit?
- Do I describe my customer's problem before presenting my solution?
- Have I turned every feature into a concrete benefit ('so that...')?
- Do I have social proof (testimonial, statistic, etc.)?
- Is my main call to action visible and understandable in 2 seconds?
If you can check these 5 boxes, your page has a high chance of converting.
