--- title: Why Having A Boilerplate Is Necessary To Increase Your Company's SEO description: Most people have never heard of a boilerplate when it comes to marketing strategy.

A boilerplate is your company's elevator pitch and should be part of your [**digital marketing plan**](https://www.vested.marketing/inbound-marketing-news/the-top-5-questions-you-need-to-assess-if-your-digital-marketing-is-worth-the-roi). It is a short paragraph that is often your first and last chance to capture a reader's interest by explaining what benefits your company is able to offer. They are often found at the end of a company's press release or on the about page. ## But Do We Really Need One? Yes. Most internet readers do not stay on any page for more than a minute. They are looking for answers to their questions and they want them now. First time visitors to your page are going to want to know what your company is able to offer them in 3-5 sentences.

First step is to understand who will be reading your boilerplate. This will be your market.  Next you're going to want to explain what your company does and how your services or products will be able to help them. (Keywords are important. More on this in a bit.) Make sure to keep all of your statements concise, yet truthful. You want to highlight your strengths, but avoid superlative words such as "greatest" and "fastest." These do little in terms of comparison and are over-used. If you have won any awards or accolades, be sure to include those. Next, eliminate all the industry jargon and replace those words with ones that all your readers will be able to understand. Include keywords that will help boost your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for your market. A good way to think about what keywords to include is to make a list of services or products offered. Lastly, take one last look over and make everything in your boilerplate is essential information. You do not have a lot of time to convince a reader to investigate further into your business so make sure to cut the fluff. ## I Think I Understand Now, Can You Show Me Some Examples?
