Importance of Web Content

Having good, quality content on your website sets you apart from competitors and communicates your message to your customers. When it comes to your website as a whole, content is what gets your customers to purchase what you are selling. Content is also what often brings people to your site in the first place. Without web content, your site is just a collection of empty pages and URLs. Nothing for people to see, read, or do. Nothing for search engines bots to crawl, analyze, and rank. You need text, photos, diagrams, videos, audio clips, and more content on your site to tell your story and get found on the web.

What Is Web Content?

  • Text: Text content, sometimes called “copy”, is pretty straightforward. Text is included on a web page either within images, or as a text block. Web content in the form of text can include using links, where readers can get more information from other sources. Text content is critical for both human readers and the search engine robots that crawl your site.
  • Imagery: Visual content like graphics and photos help people understand what you’re saying. They also leave a lasting impression of your brand and what you are trying to communicate. As a rule of thumb, every page on your site should not only have something to read, but something to see. With proper optimization, images can also help your site win rankings in coveted Image search results and lend a boost your pages’ SEO value.
  • Multimedia: Multimedia web content is basically all other types of content besides text and images. This content will have its biggest impact on actual people, but if you code it correctly and use it wisely on your site, it can also lend a boost to your SEO rankings. Some examples of multimedia web content include:
    • Audio
    • Video
    • Animations

Good Web Content vs. Bad Web Content

  • Provides value by answering a question or solving a problem

  • Is too focused on imagery, leaving little for search engines to digest
  • Has too much emphasis on the business instead of users and their needs
