A client-attracting website has client-attracting copy, not simply written content.
Huh?
What does that mean?
Let’s begin with some definitions.
Website content is any content you have on your site. The main purpose of website content is to provide information to people. Unfortunately, most websites only consist of content and it’s also what most web designers focus on because they don’t know any better. Seriously. It’s true.
Website copy is also content that provides information, but it goes one step further (and it’s a big step)…
The main purpose of website copy is to get people to take action once they land at your site. This action could be to get people to sign-up for your newsletter, visit an article on your blog, call you to set up an appointment, follow you on your social media channels, sign up for a course, or buy a product.
Compelling web copy is the single most important aspect of a healing or counseling website that attracts clients.
People go to your website to find out what you have to offer them. It’s your job to show them how they will benefit from working with you or from buying something from you. You will have to convince them that they will likely get what they want from taking the action(s) that you want them to take.
Now of course website content– if it’s well done– will usually attract some clients, but client-attracting website copy will typically attract a lot more.
How do I know that compelling web copy attracts more therapy or healing clients?
Because it’s been proven over and over.
Many expert copywriters are fanatical about testing their copy. They write different versions of web pages and then test the results they get. Changing even one word in a headline on a website has been shown to increase response rates by up to 100% or more. I’ve some testing myself using software designed for such purposes and wow, the results can be amazing!
