How to Write Pain Driven Website Copy Even On Your About Us Page

Copywriting / 13 Sep 2021

So, a client asks you to put together a proposal for some optimised website copywriting, specifically their About Us page. Easy peasy.

Your next move is to write all about your client’s business, its rich history, vision, mission, and objectives, right? It’s a page about them, after all.

Don’t do it. It’s a trap businesses fall into time and time again, even experienced digital marketing agencies like yours.

The key to writing a good – no, a great – About Us page is making it all about the prospective client.

About Us Pages Shouldn’t Be About ‘Us’

According to HubSpot, a client’s About Us page is the second most important webpage on their website. It goes without saying that optimised website copywriting isn’t just enough.

But what should your client, or you on their behalf, be writing about?

In a word, pain. 

That’s why a person is perusing your website in the first place. Clients are people (shocker), and people love a shortcut, a hack, or a solution to make their lives simpler or more enjoyable. They’re searching for an answer to something that’s giving them significant grief, and they want a solution, fast.

It’s your job to convince them that of all the companies and solutions on the worldwide web, yours (or your client’s) is the best solution for the job. And to do that, you demonstrate that you see them, hear them, understand them, and most importantly, you’ve got them. It’s as simple as that.

About Us Pages Can Build a Bridge

Picture the scene. You’re an experienced digital marketing agency tasked with optimised website copywriting for a prestigious client. However, they’re in an industry you don’t know anything about. Obviously, you want the work. They’re a household name. To have them publicly on your books would be priceless publicity for your agency. On the flip side, you lack experience in their industry. If you don’t deliver, there’s potential for non-payment and significant reputational damage.
