Do you want your site to be near the top of the search engine rankings? There’s a simple, cost-effective but often overlooked way of improving your Google results. By search engine optimisation copywriting – SEO copywriting for short.
I know, because I’ve achieved first page Google results for many popular keywords for clients of all kinds. Not to mention similar results with other search engines, but as
Google has around 80 – 90% of the market, it’s the one that really counts.
Below are Google results from 4th January 2021 for websites which I’ve copy optimised.

SEO Copywriting for Google rankings – what really matters
All the above organisations have received much higher traffic and increased business as a result. And it’s essentially down to my copy optimisation, plus a few simple tips I include as part of the service. No expensive SEO campaigns or extensive back-link development. Just getting the copy and the basics right.
Most organisations do not need to pay an SEO company month after month, or keep using Google AdWords.
Algorithms change, but the single most important factor in determining a site’s rankings, is, always has been, and probably always will be, its content. Get that right, and you’re 90% there.
What I recommend for your website
If someone asks me to write a website, one of the first questions I ask is whether it’s important that it ranks well with the search engines.
For nearly all businesses, the answer is ‘yes’. So before I write a word I research the best keyword terms for that organisation.
That is keyword terms which people regularly search for, but which they also stand a chance of getting on the first page of Google with. Too specific and long-winded, and no-one will search for them; too simple and you won’t get on the first page of Google.
I then analyse the results, look at the competition, make recommendations and discuss the best way forward.
And then – and only then – do I actually write any of the pages.
As you can see above, it makes a difference – and it can deliver great results for your site too.
