    A website is important in today’s competitive world where there are no physical geographical boundaries applicable while doing business. Marketing website does a lot good over here. The landing page or your initial webpage is the most important tool to attract your customer.

    The landing page gives your customers an impression about who you are and what your company is all about. Your ability to attract customer towards your initial web page is something which would count. There are several ways and means of making your web page attractive and your content highly important.

    Importance of Content in Attracting Customers


    The website is nothing but a collection of different pages, images, videos or other digital asset that are hosted in one or several web servers. It is the content that is put up on these different pages that really helps in attracting the customers.

    Website and web content is often an income source for both the web-developers and website owners. A website comes quite useful in expanding the traditional forms of business. Hence utmost care should be taken in maintaining the website and its content. It is a medium through which the company speaks to its customers. Hence website content should also be seen as a publicity tool.

    Using Professional Services for Content Management:

    One can hire professional writers and its services for a particular project or for web site content. After hiring a professional, one should start developing an outline for the project, if this has not already been done. This has to be done in order to ensure that web page contains all the essential content. One should also remember that the writer may have ideas about the content he wants to include or believes is relevant but the responsibility for making the decision regarding what belongs in the webpage is ultimately up to the marketer.

    Following points need to be taken care of while submitting the landing page for building public relations.

    1. The content needs to be original and informative rather than promotional
    2. The landing page should be like a summary of important information that you want to provide rather than a buy offer to customer
    3. It should have all vital information and access to contact details and details of the company as well as home page.
    4. The keywords and tags should be relevant.
    5. The keywords should relate to your products and services in such a manner that when a search word is entered, the right target customer visits your website resulting in higher conversions.

    To build PR and to enable customers to speak to you, you can have added user friendly features like links for blogs, news, FAQ’s, offers, product information, customer reviews, communities, feedback etc. The landing pages that are paid so dearly happen to be a logical place to begin the fortifying commitment for higher conversion rates. Hence, these should address all that the customer is looking for.

    Customizing the Landing Page & Content

    Finally, customization is the buzzword. Purest and better level of refinement for customers can bring a lot of business for you.

    Content certainly has the capacity to not only captivate potential audience, but also drive more traffic to your site. As a content writer, I often get a little disenchanted when told, "people don't even read content on a website...". I honestly put a lot of pride into my writing and find that since I put this pride into my writing, it will inevitably entice my readers to click further in the site.

    I agree with the article. The basis of this is not the beautiful graphics and well-written content.
