Web copy: What Is It?
The major body of text on your website that is meant to sell your goods or services is typically referred to as website copy. The words are what direct site traffic, define your brand concept, and inform readers of your offerings. These primary pages typically consist of the Homepage, About Us, Service Page, and FAQ.

Your website material should be in line with the clients' intended searches. You want to assist them in finding a solution so that they will act—buy something, follow your blog, or sign up for your mailing list.

Writing Strategies
Before you begin writing, you should lay the groundwork for your content. Here are three important considerations.
Rule #1: Identify Your Goal
Understanding the objective of the copy you create is the most crucial thing you can do. Knowing your ultimate objective from the beginning will help you create the ideal piece of content and the optimal call-to-action (I'll cover CTAs in more detail in Writing Tips).
The copy's goal supports the company's objectives. Find your responses to the following questions regarding it:
Does the website aim to sell goods or services?
Is it centred on growing traffic with the goal of raising advertising or sponsorship revenue?
