I have no idea what this word means. And neither do the people who read it. I really get frustrated when marketing people try to write copy. I just had a marketing person insist I add this to a paragraph:

 ”We’ll help you determine and identify your exact needs, then create and implement solutions that provide you with the results you need.”

I have no idea what that sentence means and neither will the business managers who read it. This is what I mean by corp-speak. Generic terms that say nothing specific to the “needs” of your potential client.

Google Page Rank is really all about trust. Google looks at a number of factors when anointing web sites with Page Rank but none of them have much to do with Search Engine Optimization.

When you decide to create new copy for your website, the best resource to start with is your best sales people. Websites should never have marketing copy or hype. Instead, you should be communicating with your website visitor like you would if you went on a scheduled sales call.

People never visit a business website because they’re just browsing. They are searching for something and should be treated like a prospect who’s already interested. They just want to know if you understand their need and can solve it. Period.

So either sit down with your best sales person and role play a few sales calls and record them or send them on a few sales calls with a recorder in their pocket. Or if your customers usually call in or email, record those with the responses. Then give those recordings to your website copywriter and let them polish them and rewrite them for the web layout.
