Prior to any copywriting, a detailed analysis on the professional services in Cyprus industry and target markets needed to be done. At the same time, brainstorming with the client to clarify overall business strategy and corporate goals, hence determining high-priority key words and phrases.
After which, comprehensive and meticulous website content copywriting and editing. This includes ongoing copy work, ensuring search ranking is not only maintained, but improves. At the same time, Web-Conceptions provided link-building services, as well as external online PR. Together, this created powerful online presence and helped drive website traffic, enquiries and conversions.
