Explaining SEO copywriting terms

to make search engine optimisation

easier to understand...

 

 

In case you're wondering why an SEO Copywriting Glossary is necessary, it's worth bearing in mind that - of all the copywriting disciplines - SEO copywriting is probably the most jargon-ridden!  To help clear a way through the SEO copywriting undergrowth, here's a breakdown of what some of the terms mean:

 

  • SEO

A widely-used abbreviation for search engine optimisation ('search engine optimization' in USA English).

 

  • Search Engine Optimisation 

The process of making sure a website ranks well in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) by meeting the criteria of search engines for things like keyword relevance and the number of inbound links each page has.  SEO copywriting is an important part of any SEO strategy.

 

  • SERPs

Search Engine Results Pages are lists of website pages which appear on your screen in response to a search engine query for a specific keyword or phrase.

 

  • SEO Copywriting

Using a variety of copywriting techniques as they relate to the demands of search engines and the criteria they apply to rank the individual website pages.

 

  • Off-page SEO Copywriting

A range of SEO copywriting and link building techniques which include Article Marketing, Online PR and Directory Submissions. (Complemented by On-page SEO Copywriting.)

 

  • On-page SEO Copywriting

This is where the SEO copywriting focus is on keyword-relevant tags and body copy.  (Effective when used with Off-page Copywriting.)

 

  • Keywords

The driving force behind all SEO copywriting, keywords match web page content with search engine queries.  Optimising web pages for the keywords that are most relevant to your organisation or business will increase the number of site visitors.  Keyword research (using Wordtracker, Google or Keyword Discovery) helps identify keywords which have the most searches.

 

  • Link Building

Of all the search engines, Google places the most emphasis on the value of relevant, high quality inbound links when it comes to ranking a web page.  Building links using off-page SEO copywriting will gradually improve page rankings.  This should be used as part of a longer term SEO strategy and not regarded as a 'quick fix' for SEO success.

 

  • Pay-Per-Click Advertising

Keyword-based SEO copywriting skills are essential for mapping out your Google Pay-Per-Click (PPC) strategy.  Keywords should link AdGroups, small ads and optimised landing pages to help achieve lower costs-per-click, higher rankings for your ads - and therefore more clicks and higher click-through rates.

TESTIMONIALS

 

"Reform have worked with Mike Beeson for over two years now and we've always found him an important part of the creative process.  Mike has the ability to immediately plug into what we are thinking and adds value to every campaign.  We wouldn't work with anyone else for copy."

 

- Paul Heaton, Reform Creative, Manchester, UK

 

 

"It's always a pleasure to work with you and what you give us is a more questioning, detached and organised view of our skills and achievements.  What you write always has energy and style and - after initial discussions - you always grasp what's needed and work quickly."

 

- Val Jenner, Homer Creative, Birmingham, UK
