What is content? And how do you write it?

Content is the content of your website. Not the technology and the codes, but what visitors see. Think of texts and audio and / or visual elements such as images, videos and music and podcasts. You can also count interactive elements such as tickets, contact forms and all kinds of other apps as website content. In short, everything that is visible on your website.

In the first instance, content is important to inform, convince and above all to encourage your visitors to take action. After all, in many cases you want your visitors to do something on your website. Order a product, request quotes, contact us, etc. In addition, it is also important for your position in the search engines. Websites with good content generally rank higher, get more visitors and therefore often generate more revenue!

Good content is content that benefits your visitors. Information that appeals to your target group and that has added value. That solves the problems of your target group, no matter how small or large they are. It is therefore smart to first find out exactly what your visitors are looking for and then tailor your web content to their questions and needs. You can do this with a keyword analysis, but of course also by drawing on your own experience. For example, what questions do customers often ask you?
