Writing for marketing web and SEO
comfortable density register: editorial rhythm on www and indexable /business/ marketing. Benefit-led, evidence-backed, SEO-aware.
Hero and headlines
- Lead with outcome in 5–10 words — pass the 5-second test
- Clarity over cleverness
- Specific beats vague: "Verified participant reviews" beats "Better events"
- Sentence case headlines
Body copy
- Feature → benefit → outcome bridge when explaining product
- Short paragraphs, descriptive subheads for scanners
- One primary CTA per section
- No exclamation marks, no emoji, no "revolutionary"
SEO
- Title and meta description match page intent — not keyword stuffing
- Locale subpaths:
/en-gb/,/pt-pt/, etc. — hreflang pairs documented in architecture PRD - Event pages: geography in title and JSON-LD, not stuffed into URL slugs

/business/ subfolder
B2B marketing on www: pricing, how it works, FAQ, contact. Distinct nav from athlete content, same domain for SEO authority. Register matches organizer professional voice — not athlete hero voice.
CTAs (marketing)
Still verb + noun. First-person CTAs ("Start my trial") only when testing shows lift — default remains neutral ("Start free trial").
