Everyone “thinks their* a copywriter” – read our NewsBlog post on this. Copywriting is an essential task and skill. Demonstrating the value your business can bring to your customers is often less a case of directly selling the product or service, more of educating and informing your target market about your field of expertise, and establishing your credibility.

Journalistic copywriting is also time consuming and not a core skill for many companies. The NewsBusiness team is made up of ex journos, PR people and marketing people. We all love to write! And we can.

UPDATE

Although copywriting for SEO, or ‘SEO copywriting’ has been touted in the SEO community as a separate skill, Google has recently deprioritised some of the benefits of SEO copywriting. Although there are still some sensible ways of including important keywords in copy, Google is now detecting so called ‘keyword stuffing’ at lower levels now (as well as ‘spun’ copy ie copy that has been produced by software). Plain good copy wins out in all cases.
