Biz tip: Humanizing your business content online
When creating content on your business website or blog, it’s understandable to apply as much as possible the keywords core to your business. Yet keep human conversation style in mind. And not to sound like the SEO echo chamber, but know your site analytics so it’s clear why your readers visit . Working with a copy writer can often help. Even if working with them for a brief amount of time, they can help focus style to achieve relevance for readership and SEO intent. Rich Becker’s blog CopyWriteInk.blogspot.com provides great resources on this front. .
