Yes, we know, spell checking your entire website is time consuming but also, spelling mistakes on your lovingly crafted website content are not what anybody wants. It hurts the first impression of your business and even directly impacts your conversion rate. Fortunately, after having the struggle of time-consuming proofreading through professionals (a process which is also error-prone all in intself and can differ in quality and style), we developed a simple solution to this. So let’s dive right into how to spell check your entire website.
Why you should Spell Check Your Website
Spelling and grammar errors are known to be off-putting to visitors, giving the (often false) impression that your business is not detail-oriented or professional, which of course contradicts the whole intention. On the other side, a polished website, free of errors and with consitent writing style, demonstrates your commitment to quality and enhances your credibility in the eyes of potential customers. Let’s be honest, you’re not going to get an award or special mention by anyone just for having an error-free website, but it just ensures there is no unneccessary friction in your funnel. Visitors will not be distracted by mistakes, which helps reatin attention to your message, because this is what really matters.
Tip: SEO Benefits
It’s logical that Search engines favor high-quality content. Consequently, Websites with well-written, error-free copy are more likely to rank higher in search results, which makes sense because search engines want to give the best results to their users. Ensuring your content is correct not only boosts your credibility as mentioned before but can also improve your SEO performance.
Traditional Methods of Spell Checking
As you know, most website owners resort to manual spell checking or using basic tools integrated into their browsers, editing tools or content management systems (CMS). While these methods undoubtedly catch some errors, they still are time-consuming and often miss contextual mistakes or more complex grammatical issues because their limited scope of checking. Additionally, manual checking often requires at least two persons to get involved, which often does not fit well in today’s tight agenda of many people. I’m sure you know how this works :-).
