Clean Your Message.
Great Content = More Sales
● Marketing is all about the message.
● Messaging is about micro yes(s).
● Write for people, optimize for Robots.
● Keyword research is important, but focus on intent of your audience.
● Value is presented through saving time or saving money. Everything needs
to show those items.

Content That Sells.
● Your services provide a solution to a
problem.
● Show benefits to address real-world issues
and solutions.
● Don’t list features. Connect your
features/options to emotional benefits.
● People remember emotions.

Landing Pages: Structure & Design
● Place strongest points at the top of your landing page.
● Optimize for mobile, simplicity = profit. Cluttered = lost $$.
● Use bullet points and lists. Always place images to the right of text.

Landing Pages: CTA Tips
● Focus on a single message but several CTA’s.
● Optimize for mobile, simplicity = profit. Cluttered =
lost $$.
● Use bullet points and lists. Always place images to the
right of text.
● Include a CTA about every 50 - 75 words.
● CTA buttons need different color than main color
palette.

Keep your Messaging Consistent in all of your
Branding.
● Choose tag line, core words, and value proposition.
● Find your “voice” and tone and stick to it.
● Use consistent verbiage when describing your services.
● This allows your readers to recognize your brand.

Core Messaging Example:
Orlando SEO Site Clinic
● One of the first things we did was establish core
messaging.
● Real-time, professional insight
● Drive sales and increase conversions
