Want to skip ahead? Here are key takeaways:

[7:07] Start with data. How are people using your website currently? Use data and heat mapping to see where pepole are engaging most and where you're losing them. Have someone review your website and ask the questions, “what do you offer?”, “how will it make your life better?” and “how do I get it?” [9:12] Common mistakes people make. Not making impact with their headlines and taking people too quickly to the end action instead of warming them up. [12:48] Organize your information before you write. Copy is assembled not written. Go through old contact forms. Make a list of the comments and questions people are always saying. Take a look at the reviews your organization has. This will help you with the right language to use. [15:07] You don't have to do it all at once. It can be overwhelming to do it all at once. Instead start with the most visited pages on your website. If you're doing it all at once save the homepage for last. You'll pull nuggets from the other pages to feature on your homepage. [18:26] Channel your inner copywriter with AI tools. They can help you generate ideas and remove the writers block. They won't write your entire page for you, but can help you with an outline for you to expand upon.
