The written steps below are complete. The Video script tab shows exactly what the video will cover.

Visitors want to know who you are and why they should trust you. A few honest lines are enough. Empty boxes show sample text marked "Sample text" on the website, so replace it with your own words.

By the end you can

  • Write your About text
  • Add three reasons to choose you

  • Editor, step 4: About you

Steps

  1. 1

    Write about your business

    On: Editor, step 4

    In About your business (2–4 lines) say what you do, how long you have done it and where. Write the way you would tell a new customer in your shop.

    You should see: Your text replaces the sample text in the preview.

  2. 2

    Or start from the sample

    On: Editor, step 4

    If you are not sure what to write, tap Use sample text (edit later). It fills the boxes with text for your type of business, which you can then change.

    You should see: The boxes fill with sample sentences you can edit.

  3. 3

    Give three reasons to choose you

    On: Editor, step 4

    Under 3 reasons to choose you fill the three boxes with short, true points, for example "Home delivery within 5 km", "15 years in the same shop", "Fresh stock every morning".

    You should see: Three points show on the website.

Tips

  • Specific beats general. "Open till 10 pm every day" is stronger than "Great service".
  • Do not promise anything you cannot keep. Your website speaks for you.

Troubleshooting

"These fields could not be saved — please check"
Something you typed is too long or cannot be used. Shorten the text in the boxes named under the message.
The website still shows sentences you did not write.
Those are the sample sentences. Replace the text in every box on this step with your own words.
