Home Page Makeover, Copy Goes from Drab to Fab

I recently was approached by the two owners of The Collection Dog, a company that handles collections for law firms, to rewrite the home page of their website. Their website was ineffective at converting visitors into customers.

While the home page received several hundred hits per month, few visitors went beyond the home page deeper into the website or contacted The Collection Dog for pricing. The few who did seemed to have little understanding of the company’s capabilities, despite having seen the website.

Despite having a stern-looking bulldog as the company mascot, an eye-catching visual, the web copy wasn’t doing its job. Read it below and see if you agree.

The Collection Dog mascot lent a bit of fun to the company’s image.

10 Problems with the Old Copy

1. The copy is not focused on the customer. Nearly every statement talks about The Collection Dog and its capabilities versus the problems prospective customers have with collections and how The Collection Dog solves them.

2. The copy only gives features of the services provided but doesn’t state the benefits customers receive such as saving money and increasing their work efficiency.

3. Most sentences start with the same simple structure of subject and verb. Example: “The Collection Dog is a one-stop shop…” The sentence structure should be varied to make the copy flow and be more interesting.

4. The copy has spelling, grammar and capitalization errors, which suggest unprofessionalism and a lack of attention to details.

5. Some of the paragraphs are too long. For online copy keep paragraphs to five sentences or less. Big chunks of copy are intimidating to the reader and difficult to read.

6. Some of the sentences are long, verbose run-ons that are difficult to follow. Example: “Over the last six years, The Collection Dog has worked with some of the largest collection attorneys, proving that we are able to provide collection services that will truly enable your firm to provide the best services for your clients.”

7. The copy lacks subheads, which would make it easier to read, especially for people who prefer to scan rather than read text.

8. The copy lacks important specifics such as what collection software they can use.

9. Several words are over-used, such as “provides/providing,” which appears five times. Time to get out that trusty thesaurus.

10. The copy lacks a call-to-action at the end. You should always tell readers what you want them to do next and make it easy for them to act by providing contact information on every page.
