Louie and Bentley, getting along nicely - a pet-business strategy for SEO quality links

If you’re in charge of marketing your pet business or veterinary practice, I encourage you to think about adding a link strategy to your online marketing toolbox if you haven’t already done so.

Optimize Your Pet Business PR the Simple Way

Plus we received some exciting comments from people in the … Read more

Pet Marketing Works Better If Your Solutions and Benefits Pop

The new, mobile-responsive design for PetCopywriter.com

You may have noticed by now that PetCopywriter.com’s website design has been updated. Thanks to the wonderful skills of graphic designer Jason Spooner and web developer Neil P. Arnold, we’re thrilled with the results.

The reason we did this is… I didn’t feel the website was showcasing what we offer pet and veterinary companies in a quick and overt way.

I took a fresh look at the site from the visitor’s perspective, practicing what I preach in this blog. 🙂

I said to myself, “When someone arrives here, what should be the first impression they get in mere seconds?”

It’s simply this: You can race ahead of the pack and attract more customers with help from a skilled pet-industry copywriter.

So the web team reworked PetCopywriter.com’s home page with a clean and logical design, simple customer-benefit messages, a video introducing our services to potential clients, and clear invitations for visitors to explore our many services.

That’s it! Much better when it comes to clarity that helps visitors know what to find here. I hope you agree. (Please let me know.)

Having said that, if you scroll below the first screen, you’ll see more content about featured solutions and benefits. But if you choose not to scroll, you can quickly access specific sections of the site you’re interested in.

I’m telling you this because you may want to consider whether or not your pet or veterinary website solutions “pop” in a clear and inviting way for your prospects. 

You could be missing opportunities with hundreds of potential customers, so it pays to take a hard look at your site.

Quality Content Defined for Pet Internet Marketing

by

With the mission of helping you keep up with the challenging world of search engine optimization (SEO) and how pet web content works best today, I try to follow the latest guidelines, trends and events that make a big difference in search results.

Finding quality websites for searchers has always been the goal of Google and other search engines. But just what does “quality” mean?

Last year, several strides were taken to clamp down on “thin” pages that offered very little information, keyword-stuffed articles that offered nothing of value, and duplicate content you can find on dozens if not hundreds of websites. So one definition of quality has been “original, useful and highly relevant content,” which I talk about a lot.

Today I read this new definition of quality, and it helps clarify things for us further, to a point.

According to Google, “High quality content is content you can send to your child to learn something.”

Hmmm.

Here’s how I interpret that for pet-industry marketers, whether you’re marketing pet products, pet services, veterinary care, pet business consulting or anything else related to this industry.

Even though I’m a seasoned pet marketing copywriter, I’m not the most technical person in the world. In fact, my highest and best skill is writing copy in plain English — speaking to the target audience in terms that clearly show how a pet-related product or service will benefit them. However, I’ve learned to speak … Read more
