Next, open two text documents. One will be for the aspect you are currently writing about and the second, for the ideas you will have while working on that element.

Utilize your intended key words as frequently as possible (without sounding redundant) during your content writing.
What exactly do you need to write about? We suggest starting with yourself. Work backwards. No matter what your role is at the company, most likely there will be at least a small portion on the ‘About-Us’ page which features YOU. So write a biography about yourself and include what makes you a crucial asset to the company. Include any schooling, certifications or work experience that may qualify you for your position.
Are you the only content writer? If you have a very small company you might be able to reach out to family and friends for assistance. Big company? Ask the boss for more resources (people) to help in the content generation project. Reach out to other team members whom might need to also write bios and request the needed content.
Pages most websites include and the order in which we recommend you write for them:
(1) About us page: Mission statement, company history, team members, etc.
(2) Contact us page: Address, phone, email. Is a form needed? If so, write up the form in a text editor so the developer can transition it into a user
friendly online web form.
(3) Services: Write thoroughly about each service you offer. Every aspect of
each service can be used for SEO purposes.
(4) Products? If you are planning to have an e-commerce website
developed, be sure to write the product descriptions, variations, prices and SKU numbers out in a spreadsheet.
(5) Homepage: Write a solid few paragraphs which are key selling points for your company and/or product. We prefer to custom tailer a website’s
homepage based on the primary goals of the site but utilizing elements of the content generated by the client for the supporting pages such as the services and about pages.
