Technical Content Strategy

Are your marketing and documentation materials working for you and your customers? You might have the greatest product in the marketplace—but if your customers don’t understand it, you’re going to get beat by the competition.

Good Words’ business- and tech-savvy consultants create thoughtful, sustainable content strategies for marketing or technical content. We help you plan, write, and maintain marketing content and documentation that keeps your customers coming back for more.

UX Writing

When a customer is browsing your website or mobile app, the last thing they want is to take a detour to your help center. And you don’t want that either, because if they leave your site, there’s a good chance they’re not coming back. To increase conversion rates and improve the user experience, you’ve got to keep your customers focused and engaged with clear, effective text.

Words are the glue of a good design. They shape the user experience as much as the sketched diagrams and wireframes. The mission of a UX writer is to make sure the UI experience is engaging, easy to understand, and dare we say, enjoyable, all within a limited space.

At Good Words, our UX writing consultants:

Integrate your company’s brand and voice into your website, products, and apps

Content Marketing

According to the Content Marketing Institute, “Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”

Content marketing increases brand awareness, expands your customer base, attracts attention and generates leads, and increases your online presence and sales. With smart and consistent storytelling, good content marketing engenders likability and trust. Strategic content can separate your business from the competition.

In a world where content is king, content marketing is a king maker.

At Good Words, our content marketing consultants:

Assess your existing marketing content and identify gaps
Edit existing content to optimize impact
Plan, write, and deliver new content to increase customer engagement

Video Production

Videos are a powerful, influential, and effective communication tool. Recent surveys reveal 84% of consumers were convinced to buy a product or service after watching a brand’s video, and including a video on your landing page can increase conversion rates by more than 80%.

In addition to boosting your bottom line, videos are a great way to help customers help themselves. People retain 95% of a message from video, compared to 10% when reading it in text.
