The Heart of Your Brand: 3 Reasons Your "About" Page Matters More Than You Think
In the bustling world of online business, where websites pop up like mushrooms after rain, one page often gets overlooked — your "About" page. It's that quiet corner of your website that most visit before moving on. Yet, holds the potential to be the most captivating, emotionally charged, and conversion-driven space on your site!
As a parenting copywriter, I see and understand the valuable website real estate that is your About page. I’m here to make it more than a list of credentials and let your readers understand your “why” for your niche.
Today I’m talking about three main reasons your “About” page can transform your website and what you offer to parents. Learn how important making a connection is, not forgetting to add a CTA, and show how you solve problems they’re searching about.
It’s A Space to Make a Connection with Your Audience
Let's start by diving into the essence of an "About" page —it's your brand's story. It's not just a timeline of events or a list of education. It’s a narrative that invites your audience to step into your world. It's where your brand transforms from a mere entity into a relatable character aka you’re a parent — you get it.
As a copywriter specializing in parenting, I understand the power of storytelling. Stories, especially personal ones, have an innate ability to evoke emotions and create lasting connections. When you craft your "About" page, think about the moments that define your journey…
The moment you knew you were going to do something about it
The challenges you've overcome
The passion that drives you daily
The reason your business exists
Imagine a visitor landing on your "About" page. They read about your late-night brainstorming sessions, the 'eureka' moments when you realized how to help parents, and the joys and TRUE struggles of parenthood.
Suddenly, you're not just a business name; you're a fellow parent, a kindred spirit who understands their journey. Congratulations, this is called an emotional connection and it works wonders on making new people on your website turn into clients to serve!
2. Don’t Miss a Call to Action (CTA) on Your About Page
Now, let's talk about the "Call to Action" (CTA) that’s often missed on About pages. It’s where we transition from sharing your story to inviting your audience to be part of it. But remember, the CTA on your "About" page shouldn't be a generic "Subscribe Now" or "Buy Our Products." Instead, it should resonate with the emotional chord you've struck.
On average, "About" pages are among the top four most-visited pages on a website. They’re often the first stop for curious visitors, especially new parents, desperate for answers.
HubSpot reported that since the pandemic “About” pages have seen a 10% increase in traffic because people want to know brands, care about your story, and want to trust you.
"About" pages often serve as the gateway to the biggest offer on your website. When visitors connect with your brand on a personal level through your story, they're more likely to explore your services or products.
It's an invitation to join hands, to share experiences, to seek solutions, and to grow together. It's not just about selling a service; it's about building a community. Parents are tired of feeling confused and alone, so lets lead them in the right direction…your biggest offer.
People helping people is my passion and why I serve parenting companies like yours. Children are the future and deserve the best, making your company stand out with a stellar “about” page, allows you to get in front of the right people you want to help.
3. About Pages Are Really About Your Ideal Client's Problem
It might sound counterintuitive, but the "About" page isn't just about you; it's about your ideal client's problem. As a parenting copywriter, I know that parents often grapple with challenges, doubts, and insecurities. They seek guidance, reassurance, and a voice that understands their concerns.
Your "About" page should be where you acknowledge parents struggles and offer a glimmer of hope. Talk about how your journey made you understand their pain points. Share success stories — how you've helped parents overcome similar challenges. Let them know that you're not just a service provider but a solution to their problems.
In the end, it's not about showcasing your achievements; highlighting your ability to solve their problems, and make their lives better. You want to show them they don’t have to suffer from whatever parent or baby struggle they may be experiencing.
You know you can help them and solve their problem. We need to show them how with testimonials, success stories, and evidence that you’re the expert in this area.
You aren’t just helping a tired parent sleep, you’re giving them their life back.
You aren’t just emotionally supporting parents, you’re giving them confidence in their parental skills.
You aren’t just helping a mother feed her baby, you’re making her dream come true and limiting stress at the same time.
What you do matters to the parents and babies you serve and I’m here to help make your brand stand out!

Your "About" page is more than just a biography. It's the heart and soul of your brand, a place where emotional connections are forged, and problems are addressed. When done right, it's a compelling story that resonates with your audience and invites them to be part of your journey.
