Step 1: Lock in Business Context (Before Writing Anything)

Start with clarity write down your basic business information.

• Business name
• Location served (city, region, or Australia-wide)
• Primary contact method (phone, online booking, or contact form)

Your call-to-action, tone, and urgency must match how sales actually happen.
If this isn’t clear, you’ll attract the wrong behaviour from the start.

Step 2: Identify the Service and Its Role in Your Offer Structure

Most people treat a service as a standalone topic. It isn’t.
It’s part of a pathway inside your offer structure.

Think About

1. The primary service this page is about? (Only one.)
2. Which tier does it belong to? (Entry, Core, Premium)
3. What role does it play? (First step, Main service delivery, Custom plans/development)

Step 3: Define the Buyer Situation (Not the Demographic)

Forget demographics, they don’t trigger searches, but “Situations: do. Describe the moment that brings someone to your page:

• What problem are they trying to solve right now?
• What pressure or frustration pushed them here?
• What are they trying to avoid?

If a visitor can say “that’s me” within seconds, you’ve go their attention. Like: “Service based businesses who’ve tried designing their website themselves, get traffic but not enough customers, they know something is broken but not sure what or how to fix it.”

Step 4: Define the Outcome They Actually Want

People aren’t buying your service, they’re buying what it gives them:

• Relief
• Certainty
• Progress
• Control

Write one sentence that finishes this thought:
After this service, my customer will… “have more enquiry’s and predicable leads each month so they can increase their service offerings and put on more staff”

Avoid features or internal jargon. This clarity is what separates conversion pages from information pages.

Step 5: Map the Service Pathway (Even If It’s Informal)

Every business has a pathway, most just haven’t named it yet. Write what usually happens after this service.

It might look something like this:
Initial Assessment → Immediate Service Delivery → Progress Review → Referral to Supporting Service →

Now confirm:

• Is this service Entry, Core, or Premium?
• and what step comes next?

This will determine:

• How deep your copy goes
• How strong your CTA should be
• How much commitment you ask for

An Entry offer should sound low-risk, or service a single immediate need.
A Core offer should feel like solid progress from where they are to where they want to be and is usually what you provide most or is your biggest revenue driver.
A Premium offer should sound like mastery – these are usually packaged core offers with upsells or custom solutions.

Pausing here and repeating to Map out your full “catalogue view” of products/services → offer framing → Service Pathway can be really helpful in deciding your whole websites structure.

Step 6: Gather Trust and Proof Inputs (Before Writing)

Building Trust with your potential customers is critically important List everything that proves you’re credible:

• Reviews and testimonials
• Case studies
• Years of experience
• Certifications or guarantees
• Local relevance

If you don’t have proof yet, plan for it. Read more about creating a “Proof Library”.
Use process clarity, specific outcomes, and transparent language as interim trust.
Never invent proof.

Step 7: Write the Page Using a Fixed Structure

Follow a Conversion optimised Service page layout. Here is a minimal Service Page Layout.

3. Primary CTA (Stronger visually with an optional secondary CTA)
4. Small Trust badge/text near the CTA

Trust Assets and Proof Sections

Every service page needs at least one section that builds trust. Ideally several that compound as your visitors scroll. Don’t fake proof that doesn’t exist. Puffery might work for big brands, but for local service businesses, authenticity always wins over exaggeration.

If you don’t yet have reviews or case studies, start simple. Show reliability and integrity through facts you can stand behind:

• Years in business
• Locally owned and family-run
• Industry certifications, business groups or trade memberships
• Transparent pricing or quoting process
• Real names and roles (e.g. Quotes prepared by John, with 15 years in fabrication)

Remember, trust isn’t just about what you’ve done, it’s also about how you operate. Small cues like these build confidence fast:

• “Fill out the form, it takes 30 seconds to book.”
• “We reply within 24 hours, every time.”
• “Call us to check first, we welcome your questions.”
• “No deposit until you approve the design.”
• “We confirm site visits by text so you always know who’s coming.”

Each line quietly signals reliability, process, and care, the things that make people feel safe to enquire.

Audit and Optimisation your page

Once your draft is live, move from writing to refinement.

• Optimise keyword placement and include semantic (NLP) keywords naturally throughout the page.
• If this is a core service, make sure your Google Business Profile includes a matching service or product listing.
• Amplify your reach post the page on social media and link back to your service pathways.
• Audit your page for conversion best practices (or ask us for help) using the CRO Audit GPT by Brighter Websites.

This final step ensures your page not only reads well — it performs.
