Strong content matters
Copywriting can be a strange beast. Pretty much anyone can write, which can lead many to believe that they’ll be fine creating the copy for their websites themselves. After all, writing it is easy, right?
But, as is often the case in this advanced, complex world, just because you can doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. While most people know how to write, you’d be surprised as to how few people can actually write well, especially on the level of experienced copywriters.
This is important because your site’s content needs to be better than just passable. If it’s confusing, difficult to read and strewn with errors, your whole brand will be impacted as it will make you look unprofessional, damaging your image and reputation. Similarly, if it doesn’t contain the right information, or presents it in a way that’s rambly and full of jargon, your visitors may give up and look somewhere else.
Then there’s all the technical aspects. Writing for a website isn’t just splurging a load of info onto a web page, you need to know how your copy can impact the other areas of digital marketing, such as SEO and conversions. You need to know what your visitors are looking for and how to present it in a way that’s effective and easy to read.
Think your content is competent? Take our quiz!
With all this in mind, we’ve designated ourselves the Chris Tarrant of copywriting and produced our very own content quiz. Think you know everything there is to know about digital copywriting, or will you be left reaching for a lifeline?
Remember, content in 2024 is about more than just good writing, so we won’t just be testing you on your writing knowledge, you’ll be quizzed on your understanding of how content impacts SEO, too. You’ll even be asked about best practices for planning and organising content, as well as best practices and different types of content, so you better be wearing your best thinking cap!
Don’t worry too much though, we’re not quite as cutting as the likes of Jeremy Paxman and Anne Robinson. We’ve decided to be generous and have made our questions multiple choice, so you’ll at least always have an option to go with if you’re struggling.
