The magic of copywriting: 15 phrases to attract customers

Copywriting is the art of seducing and convincing a person with simple words to act in the desired way. Therefore, it is important to know how to sell your brand through words with this technique. Copywriting also uses CTAs or calls to action as visual or textual calls that lead the reader or visitor of a website to perform an action, for example, click on a banner, buy a product, fill out a form, click a button, call a phone number or request information.

The three main characteristics of copywriting

• The content must be appropriate to the target audience to which it is addressed, i.e. the messages must emphasise what is most important and leave aside all aspects that do not encourage interest or the purchase action.
• The messages must be close and very understandable for the audience, thus generating greater attention by receiving more information.
• The tone of the message must be persuasive and must provide something positive. The messages must match the SEO positioning of the company, i.e. the use of keywords must correspond to the content written.

what is the difference between SEO and copywriting?

In SEO positioning, techniques and resources are put into practice so that a company's website or blog appears at the top of Google. In the same way, it seeks to generate traffic to your website, that is, that many people visit your site. To appear on the first page of Google, SEO professionals write content with the most searched words in relation to the service or product you want to sell. Using digital marketing tools, they study the articles of other blogs well positioned in Google in order to beat them by writing better content with the keywords of your company or brand.

Once you have achieved the desired positioning and you have seen that the number of visits to your website is increasing, it is time to sell. This is where the copywriter comes into action, after researching your product or service, knowing the context and your customer, creating texts that persuade and encourage the purchase.

Nowadays, most copywriters apply SEO techniques to their texts, since a copywriter helps to get more sales, while SEO helps to get more visits or generate more traffic.
