How to keep Information Center articles helpful while still supporting sales.

Information Center article

How do I avoid sounding too sales focused in information content

Part of the On Web Marketing™ Information Center.

Provides a balance between genuine help and appropriate invitations to talk.

If information content feels like a sales pitch, visitors may leave quickly. At the same time, you still want your content to support your business. The key is to separate the helpful explanation from the invitation to work together.

Lead with real help

  • Answer the main question fully before mentioning your services.
  • Use plain, educational language rather than slogans.
  • Offer neutral explanations of options, even when you are one of them.

This builds trust and keeps the focus on the reader.

Add gentle, relevant calls to action

  • Offer a next step that fits naturally with the topic.
  • Use simple phrases like talk with our team about this.
  • Place calls to action at the end or in clearly marked sections.

In an Information Center, the main job of the article is to educate. Conversion elements are present, but they do not take over the page. This balance supports both organic search and respectful lead generation.
