5 Roles Copywriting Plays In Building Your Online Presence

Is your brand just online? Or REALLY online? 
 
Businesses of all types, sizes and industries share one common thing today: we all have audiences whose eyes are glued to screens and rely on the internet for solutions. 

Since these potential customers can stumble across websites, social media pages, ads and other digital content at literally any time, you need to be there. 

Not just there, but providing an engaging experience that makes you relevant in their eyes. 

Strong copywriting is the standard for building an online presence that moves people. 

Here’s how (and why you need to implement it yourself). ​

First, here’s a quick recap on copywriting. 

Copywriting is a form of marketing that utilises the power of words to inform, entertain and engage audiences.  

If you have a compelling message, you can:  

• raise brand awareness 
• build trust, and  
• get more conversions 
  ​

Through the written word, you can communicate the value you offer so that people understand and are inspired to take action. ​

Copywriting is about producing valuable content to help people solve their pain points. This makes your brand relevant to them.

Today, the role of copywriting extends far 
​beyond just printed materials.

The days where copywriting was just in print are long gone. 

It needs to be everywhere your brand is and it needs to be damn good. 

From your website, social media platforms, adverts, emails, blog posts and more, copywriting helps enhance your brand’s online presence so you can reach people in a way that allows them to care.

What are the roles of copywriting in building your online presence? 

How do people act when on the internet? 

It has been described as “hunting”. They’re hunting for value, entertainment and information.  ​

How does your brand provide good online “bait”?  
Something for them to hunt? 

Your content is the prey – so you want to make it  
nice and juicy to attract their attention! 

When people visit your website, for instance, they need to be met by compelling messages which stir emotions and motivate actions if you truly want them to invest precious time in you.  
​
The right copywriting can make all the difference. 

It doesn’t matter how marketing content evolves.  
It all starts with words.  
 
Videos and podcasts need scripts. Social media needs captions. Blogs need text. In fact, Marketing needs a written strategy and written marketing plan! 
​
Words matter. The right words matter. 

Copywriting allows you to craft messages that appeal to your current and potential clients by helping you create diverse online content that meets their needs.  

This means that, regardless of the channel or content they choose, your business will always be visible to them.
