What makes them want to buy from you? The answer is simple: tell them what makes your company different! With the right about page, potential customers will be able to quickly see what sets your business apart from everybody else's-and they'll become more likely to purchase something from you.

Things to remember when creating your "about" page:

Make sure you have a good photo for your 'About' page - after all, this is the first thing people will see when they visit your site!

This is the first impression you'll make on your visitors, and it's often a more accurate reflection of what they're in for than any other page on your site. Make sure to choose an image that represents who you are as accurately as possible.

You may do all your business online, but people are more likely to buy from those they feel a connection with. In part that feeling comes through seeing a photo of you. You can get affordable headshots by finding an experienced photographer who will make sure the pictures represent YOU well and on point with what works for YOUR brand's look/feel. If your website is light and airy, don't wear a heavy/dark outfit. Consistency on your branding is extremely important on gaining trust.

Use keywords in the text of your about page to help search engines find it easier!

It's no secret that search engines love keywords. If you want your about page to be found by potential customers, make sure you include relevant words and phrases in the text of your page so it can rank higher on SERPs.
