We’ve seen business owners let their websites languish, unfinished and unlaunched, for fear of writing a single “About Us” paragraph. There’s no need to let that happen. We can help you create and optimize your content. At Back40 Design, we’ve been creating engaging content on a monthly basis for our magazine, the Edmond Outlook, for 18 years, and for our own website for 22 years – not to mention for hundreds of our clients, too.
What is content marketing?
Great content is a perfect balance between speaking to your customers and making the search engines happy. It’s engaging your audience with headings, supporting text, and easy-to-scan bulleted lists alongside related imagery.
Because let’s face it: You’re busy. Your audience is busy. And, no one wants to read a wall of text. If a website visitor sees that, they’ll hit back quicker than they came to your site.
Our team has the content creation process down to a science, and we make it easy for you to get from a blank page to conversion pain free. We have the experience to create your content. Back40’s team includes SEO specialists that find the right keywords, writers that create the text, photographers to capture images that support the vision, designers that produce an engaging layout, and developers that build it into your website. So, why struggle through it on your own? Hiring a content marketing services agency like Back40 to generate your content is a smart investment (if we do say so ourselves).

Website Page Copy Creation
Having a website is a must for all businesses and organizations. We live in the digital age, and people turn to Google to answer their questions. Having compelling content that’s well-researched, optimized, and purposeful separates the sites on page 1 from the ones on page 2. That means more traffic, which means potential leads and customers to your business. We write content for website pages:
- Services details
- About and history information
- Product descriptions
-

Content FAQ
-
What is content creation marketing?
Content creation marketing is the creation of valuable content that answers the specific needs and questions of your target audience. It is considered an inbound marketing technique designed to bring value to those that seek answers. Using this technique can lead to new business for your own company as a result of your sharing your knowledge freely with others. This type of content is generally used in blog posts and is provided freely to the user.
-
How much content should I publish each month?
There’s no right or wrong answer to the question of how much content should you publish each month. Each industry is different. For example, in some industries such as technology or software development, changes happen at warp speed and you must post content regularly or your site will become outdated quickly. In most cases, regardless of your niche, the minimum should be one well-researched post per month. Google clearly favors authoritative content that comprehensively covers a topic over what is referred to as “thin content,” which is only meant to sell a product or service. If you want to rank in Google, then post at least one epic piece of content per month.
-
How long should a page of content be?
To understand how long a piece of content should be, perform a search in Google for your target keyword. Then, look at the top ten sites. Skip any directories or Amazon pages and so on. What you’re looking for are the articles. Do a search for free online word counters (or use Word or Google Docs), and have the program show you how many words your competitors’ pages have on them. Finally, average them out. This isn’t a perfect method since there is no exact number, but this method will give you a solid idea of what Google wants to see as far as word count goes. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the article.
-
What is web content marketing?
Web content marketing is very similar to content creation marketing, which is the creation of valuable content that answers the specific needs and questions of your target audience. The idea is to give away free content in an effort to provide goodwill. Web content marketing, though, could be considered a bit more expansive in that it also includes the use of every online media channel available to get your content out to the masses. Think beyond just your own website’s blog to also include Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and the ever-growing list of social channels as well as press releases. If you’re creating great content, then don’t be shy about sharing it. A good content marketing services agency will utilize keyword research, competitor research, and a skilled copywriter.
-
How does web design impact content marketing?
Content is what allows a page to rank and be found by your potential customers in the search engines. Web design is incredibly important as that is the method used to display the information to your user. If the information is not displayed via well-thought-out website design, then your conversions will suffer. Web design, SEO and content creation work in tandem to produce the best results for you and the best experience for your customers and users.
