How To Write A Contact Us Page That Gets Results
Most websites leave the contact us page to their web person. After all, isn't it just your business name and a contact form?
Not so fast! The least exciting page on a website is like a dirty great digital Wall of China.
On one side of the digital divide is your prospect, wondering whether or not to get in touch with you for a quote. One the other side, you are sitting at your office desk, hoping for a call from someone new. The only thing keeping you apart is your contact us page.
Domain Name Horror Stories
You have finally made it! You have bought a property for your business; you have been comfortably trading for a while; you regularly make payments ... and then all of a sudden you discover you don't own your property. That the person who handled the sale registered the property in their name and they have decided to claim it and sell it on to someone else.
Sound far-fetched, or the stuff of those trashy tabloid Current Affairs shows? It happens every day in thousands of businesses around the world - but the only thing is that it happens with virtual real estate and not bricks and mortar.

However, this strategy is sort of like the "4 Ingredients" version of Facebook content marketing. It isn't fancy - but it gets the job done.
What Customer Experience Teams Can Learn from Google
The Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Customer Experience industries have been developing in parallel silos over the past decade.
The early days of SEO were all about following scripts to game the search engine system to make Google think the website was more important than it probably was. The early days of customer experience were all about creating customer service scripts and recipes to game the sales process to make customers think the service was better than it probably was.
Secrets Your Website Reveals About Your Company Culture
If you want to know the corporate culture of a company or business, simply take a look at their website (… even if a fabulous copywriter has written it).
Corporate Culture is basically how we do things around here (which is totally separate to what services we provide).
If a company’s culture is one of a ruthless robber baron, you can pretty much guarantee you will find clues in their website. If a company’s culture is warm, fuzzy and as disorganised as the second drawer in your kitchen – their website will scream it from the roof-tops.
