Do I Need to Hire a Copywriter for my Website?

October 8, 2014 by James Seymour

Copywriting is an important part of web design and online marketing. Without a good copy, your website will not be able to serve its purpose of attracting customers and increasing business leads. Therefore, it is essential that you prepare an outstanding copy that will make your website visitors rely on your brand.

The question, thus, you ask is “Do I need to hire a copywriter for my website?” This is what I have to say.

The importance of creating copy for your website

The copy is the overall message that you want to convey to your website visitors and potential customers. It contains the key points that you want them to know without actually speaking to them one by one. The copy is not only found in the main body of your website or web pages, but on your image banners, introduction, headings, and other parts of your websites, as well.

You need to hire a copywriter for your website if…

While you are the expert of your brand, you may doubt if you are the right person to write the copy of your website. Here are some signs that say you need to hire a copywriter.

  • You are not confident writing – or speaking – to your audience;
  • You want to say your message coming from a different perspective or viewpoint;
  • You want to optimise your copy for search engines and use targeted keywords on your copy.

You need NOT hire a copywriter for your website it…

If, on the other hand, you know for a fact that you can very well write the copy of your website by yourself, then you do not need to waste time and money looking for a copywriter. Here are more signs that say being your own copywriter should be just fine.

  • You can write very well;
  • You can express your creativity in words;
  • You are knowledgeable about SEO and can apply SEO best practices to your copy.

If you want your website to work for you, you should never settle for a mediocre copy. Whether you need to hire a professional copywriter or not, you have to make sure that your website’s copy can capture the attention of your target customers.
