Tips for Creating a Successful "About" Page That Captures Your Brand

Lynn Del Vecchio, March 17, 2016

Many people find it hard to write about themselves – it's rare that we need to do so and it's hard to capture that balance between sounding vain and giving our audience the information they need. Let's face it – it's awkward. Businesses often face the same struggle in trying to strike a balance when writing their About Us page. However, analytics show that it's also one of the most important and frequented pages on any website.

Crafting the perfect About Page is often easier said than done, as you want to sell your brand yet keep it customer-centric without a self-focused approach. Below are a few tips to create the perfect About Page for your business.

Start out by talking about your audience

While it's seemingly natural to begin your own About Page by speaking about yourself, opt to speak about your audience. For example, dictate your opening sentence by identifying your audience's needs, challenges, and objectives – the very reason they're visiting your site. This is a great way to show you have their needs in mind before diving directly into what you do. Stating the facts is also a great way to find a happy balance between talking about yourself AND your audience… from your client retention rate to awards you've collected.

Another great option is to include some testimonials on your page. When scoping out a new restaurant or dentist, it's likely you check out some online reviews. Include a few recent customer reviews on your page to offer information about your brand in a positive light. Be sure to add customer details to add credibility and build trust in your brand.

Keep readers' attention on your page by breaking it up with different forms of media such as photos, videos, timelines, and even infographics. While headshots are great to help readers visualize your company, photos of your team in action around the office or at an event helps to add character to your business.
