How to Write Website Copy That Converts (Without Sounding Salesy)

June 25, 20254 min read

Writing for your website is weird.
You want to sound confident—but not pushy.
You want to be persuasive—but not fake.
You want people to take action—but not feel like they’ve been sold to.

Here’s the good news: You can write copy that’s clear, genuine, and gets results—without ever sounding like a walking sales pitch.

At Giga Impact, we specialize in turning your expertise into warm, strategic messaging that connects and converts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to write website copy that sounds like you—and works like a charm.


Why Website Copy Matters More Than Ever

Your website isn’t just a digital brochure. It’s your brand’s voice, your 24/7 salesperson, and often the first impression a potential client gets of your business.

Great visuals get people in the door.
Great copy keeps them there—and moves them to action.

Your words should:

  • Speak directly to your dream client

  • Communicate your value clearly

  • Guide people through your offer with ease

Bottom line: If your site isn’t converting, your copy might be the problem—and the solution.


The 5 Pages That Need to Work Hardest (And How to Write Them)

Let’s break down what each core page needs—and how to write it without sounding forced.


✅ 1. Homepage: Say What You Do, Right Away

Your homepage has one job: make people instantly understand who you help and how.

Your headline should:

  • Be clear, not clever

  • Highlight a result or transformation

  • Mention who your service is for

💬 Try this formula:
“I help [audience] [achieve result] through [your service/approach].”

➡️ Example: “Helping service-based entrepreneurs build irresistible brands without the stress.”

Add 1–2 supportive sentences below to guide visitors deeper into your site.


✅ 2. About Page: Make It About Them

Yes, it’s your story—but your reader needs to see themselves in it.

Your About Page should:

  • Share why you do what you do

  • Highlight what makes your approach unique

  • Show your values, vibe, and mission

  • Invite the reader to connect or take action

🎯 Tip: Use storytelling to create trust—but bring it back to how you help them.


✅ 3. Services Page: Be Clear, Not Cute

Avoid long, vague paragraphs about “custom solutions.” Instead:

  • Clearly describe what you offer

  • Outline who it’s for and what’s included

  • Use bullet points for clarity

  • Add pricing or starting rates if possible

And always include a strong, benefit-driven CTA like:
“Let’s build your brand together—book a clarity call.”


✅ 4. Contact Page: Make Taking Action Easy

This page is often an afterthought—but it shouldn’t be.

To convert visitors:

  • Include a short, friendly message

  • Set expectations: what happens next?

  • Add a short contact form or scheduler

  • Reinforce your brand tone with copy like:
    “Got questions? I’ve got answers. Let’s make something great happen.”


✅ 5. Calls-to-Action (CTAs): Your Invisible Sales Force

CTAs should be:

  • Specific (“Book your free strategy call”)

  • Aligned with the page content

  • Visible (place them early and often)

  • Framed as an invitation, not a command

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid “Submit” or “Click Here.” Use phrases like:
“Let’s talk,” “I’m ready to grow,” or “Show me the packages.”


How to Sound Human, Not Salesy

Writing in your real voice is the most effective way to connect. Here's how to make sure your copy feels authentic and strategic:

✅ Use Conversational Language

  • Write how you speak

  • Use contractions (“you’re,” “it’s,” “let’s”)

  • Break up long sentences and paragraphs

✅ Focus on Benefits, Not Just Features

Instead of:
“Includes 3 rounds of revisions.”
Say:
“You’ll have multiple opportunities to fine-tune every detail.”

✨ Paint a picture of the transformation.

✅ Talk to the reader, not at them

Use second person (“you,” “your”) more than first person (“I,” “we”).


Common Copy Mistakes That Kill Conversions

Avoid these copy killers:

  • Vagueness: Be specific about who you serve and how

  • Overly formal tone: This isn’t a legal document

  • No CTA: Every page should guide action

  • Talking about features without benefits: Connect the dots

🧠 Remember: Clarity builds trust. Specificity sells.
