Good Content Writing Attracts & Retains Your Customer Base

Did you know that 80% of internet users engage with blogs and social media? That’s why incorporating content writing into your digital marketing strategy makes sense. It's one of the best ways to attract and connect with customers online.

Whether it’s your website, social media posts, or Google Business Profile updates, well-chosen words speak to your audience, build trust, establish authority and boost your online visibility. Blogs can even generate leads organically without paying for ads, and if the content is on-point — new traffic continues to flow well after it's posted.

Online Articles: Attract more online visitors with exciting stories

People love local news — and you can tap into that by sharing your wins, milestones or business updates through engaging articles. It doesn't have to be sexy to spark interest.

In early 2024, Artel Gallery was moving from point A to point B. That's all. Nothing ground-breaking, but my local article pulled in almost 30,000 views in 24 hours and 40,000 in a few days. Almost viral in my book.

So, if you've got a story, let’s tell it in a way that gets noticed.

Social Media Captions: Building brand awareness and driving traffic

Frequently Asked Questions

Should blog posts include keywords for SEO?

Yes, keywords in blogs can help boost visibility if you select those with a higher chance of ranking. Ideally, your keyword should be in the headline, too. Your phrases must be naturally woven into the content, ensuring that you avoid keyword stuffing — using semantic phrases instead. Google is known to penalise keyword stuffing — so remember to write for your audience, not just search engines. It also helps to consider search intent.

If you're interested in keyword research, Semrush is a premium SEO tool that offers a free version and a 7-day trial (otherwise there's me).

What does ‘content’ mean in digital marketing

In digital marketing, content simply refers to all the information you share with your audience. It includes everything from the words on your website to social media videos, captions and photos. Google Business Profile updates and email newsletters also fall under the category of content.

Your content impacts your brand, so it is important to have a coordinated and cohesive approach to what you share online. In addition, it is not just what you say, but where you say it (what platform). Don't have enough time in the day?  Let's chat.

What are the best copywriting tips for social media?

The internet is awash with social media copywriting tips. The key is to understand your customer/buyer persona (what motivates them) and write relevant content. Your focus should be on their pain points (problems) and how your business resolves them — or the benefits of using your business over your competition.

Keep your posts concise, engaging, and authentic. If you use AI, ensure you proofread and avoid language that your customers wouldn't use. AI can be a useful tool — however, you wouldn’t read a boring book — well, social media or website copy is the same.

Why is content marketing important for SEO and visibility?

Unlike traditional ads, content marketing — like social media — allows you to connect with people in a more personal and meaningful way. By sharing useful and interesting content, you build trust and encourage meaningful conversations. And when people engage with or share your posts, it can increase your reach (tip: always link back to your website).

Blogs are particularly useful for getting found online. When your content lines up with what people are searching for, it has a better chance of showing up in results — which means more traffic from the right people.

Over time, content marketing helps build credibility and loyalty. And yes — sales too. People tend to buy from businesses they like, trust, and feel aligned with. The key is to stay genuine, reflect your brand’s voice, speak their language, and write like you're having a conversation.

What are the SEO and business benefits of blogging?

As you can see from the infographic on this page (see the blog writing section above), blogs are a powerful content marketing tool. Google values high-quality content, and a blog is an ideal way to share useful information that attracts and educates potential customers.

Your blog could be anything from an industry update or product release to a how-to guide for DIY repairs. (FYI, one of my security clients’ highest-ranking pages is about how to fix a beeping alarm.)

If your blog includes relevant keywords — the phrases people are actively searching for — it’s more likely to show up in search results. That’s because Google sees your content as answering key queries.

Beyond visibility, blogs also help build trust and loyalty, increase brand awareness, and create a sense of community around your business. People tend to buy from brands they feel connected to — which is why sharing authentically can help you stand out from your competitors.

How do case studies help your website convert better?

Depending on your industry, a case study section offers more compelling, real-life evidence about the solutions your business provides. For instance, I've written case studies for a client whose services included the refurbishment of machinery. Here, my case study focused on how their client saved tens of thousands of dollars by repairing and upgrading an existing piece of equipment rather than buying a new one.

If you offer professional services, you could provide longer case studies to illustrate the robust processes and results experienced by clients who have used your business services. This offers potential customers proof, giving you a better chance of attracting customers who are interested in benefiting from the same results.
