Customers want solutions to their problems, not just products. Using the right language helps them understand how your service fits their needs. Clear, customer-focused messaging guides users toward action and increases conversions. Without it, your offerings may go unnoticed, even if they’re exactly what the customer is looking for.
We use a simple formula: Do you sound exactly like your competition? If the only difference between your website copy and words on your competition’s website is your brand name, you’re suffering from a lack of clarity. Buzzwords like “family-owned”, “commitment to quality”, and “welcome to our website” don’t solve customer problems, and are a sign that your content needs help.
The biggest mistakes include using generic buzzwords, assuming customers know your offerings, and using the wrong tone. Every audience is different, so language must be tailored. Failing to connect through tone or clarity leads to confusion and lost sales. Creating customer personas helps target your messaging effectively.
