What is the difference between content writing and copywriting?

Frequently Asked Questions: Content Team Edition 1

The most important thing that we can tell you about the difference between content writing and copywriting is that the LightHouse content team can handle both! All levity aside, the difference between content writing and copywriting lies in the purpose of the two types of writing.

Content writing encompasses writing like blogs or social media posts–these writing services educate your audience while offering subtle cues toward your brand. On the other hand, copywriting is a truer form of sales writing, in which a writer skilled in marketing and branding works to sell your clients on your services. This type of work is more broadly seen in websites and direct marketing consumables.

Why is having strong blog content so important to my website?

Frequently Asked Questions: Content Team Edition 2

We can make this answer incredibly simple. Tech Client tells us that websites that feature a blog have a 434% higher chance of being ranked on search engines than their counterparts who do not. Additionally, HubSpot tells us that businesses who utilize blogs generate 67% more website leads than those who do not. Simply put, a blog is an integral part of your marketing strategy to generate new leads. 

What are the benefits of having a content team manage my site?

Good writing takes time! Ultimately, a quality content team should spend time researching which terms to utilize in your writing to help you rank the highest in search engines. Then, they should research what your clients want to know and anything else that will help contribute to valuable, meaningful content on your site. After that, a strong writer will condense this work into content that can be easily consumed by potential clients, and will edit the work both for accuracy and grammar. Your days should be spent running your business, not writing about it! Let us take that task off your hands. 

How can quality content drive business to my website?

Frequently Asked Questions: Content Team Edition 3

Forbes said it best. “Content is king.” They couldn’t be more true! High-quality content is what will bring users to your site and keep them engaged. One of the easiest examples of this is a quality blog post. If your blog post resonates with just one user, they are liable to share in on their social media accounts. If they do this, you are automatically benefitting from the free advertising that will come from their friends reading and engaging with their shared post!

How do I choose what SEO content to write for my website?

There are a variety of simple hacks to improve the SEO content to your site. Some of these hacks can prove time-consuming and mundane–feel free to leave those to us! When choosing which search-engine terms to use, preliminary keyword research is helpful. You can use tools like Google Analytics to determine which words your site is already ranking for, for example, and then look up their synonyms and related keywords online. This will allow you to ensure that your website remains relevant and a strong player in your industry’s online conversation. 

How often should I update my website content?

Ideally, static websites should be updated once or twice a month to ensure maximum engagement. What is more important than updating your content regularly is ensuring that your content is ever fresh, thereby providing your clients with additional incentive to engage! 

However, social media content needs to be updated much more frequently. Consider utilizing LightHouse Graphics to schedule and manage your social media content, to ensure that your business achieves maximum online engagement.
