A website is a well-built house in the hills, and posts are the stepping stones

With no path, nobody knocks. We lay down stones one at a time, made from the writing your site already has.

Suppose you've built a house in the hills that you love. Sun in every room, and you made every drawer by hand. But there's no path to it. However good the house, only people who know the way can come. A website is exactly that. Some people find it by searching, but many step out because someone said, “there's a lovely house over there.” Every social post is a stepping stone on the way.

Why stepping stones

One stone isn't a path. When ten or thirty follow one another, even a first-time visitor thinks, “I can walk this.”

The good news is that the stones are already inside the house. Your intro line, your product descriptions and your FAQ are all stones.

  • The houseYour website
  • One stoneOne post
  • The stones in a rowYour profile link and a steady feed
  • The lantern at the gateThe action you want: book, buy, ask

When the path looks safe, people walk all the way in. Don't try to show everything at once; lay one stone at a time.

Which stones to lay

There's nothing new to write. Take what's already on your site and set it out one piece at a time.

  1. A line from the site, moved outside

    Lift one sentence from your intro into a single card. People who want more walk over to the site.

  2. The frequently asked

    One FAQ is one post. People too shy to ask save it quietly.

  3. One product or service at a time

    Don't introduce everything at once. Say who each one is good for.

  4. Cases and reviews

    Turn a confirmed case into one picture and two lines.

  5. By the season

    Announce seasons and events at the right time, ahead of the date.

  6. The lantern at the gate

    Once in a post, show the way to book, ask or buy.

A line from the site, outside

One sentence from our About page: “Even one line a day counts as reading.” There's more on the site.

FAQ: gift wrapping

Add a note when you order and we'll wrap it. A handwritten card goes in with it.

If you're thinking…

Two things site owners say most.

“Not many people visit my site”

All the more reason. A site waits for people to come; a post walks over to them.

“There's not much writing on it”

An intro line, product descriptions and a price list are enough. One sentence or one product from those is one post.

The rhythm of laying stones

Two or three posts a week is enough: a story from the site on Monday, one product or service on Wednesday, and the action open this week on Friday.

The days are an example. Match them to when your site changes. This pace is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee of results.

The common mistake

The one we see most often.

What Meok does

A site address is all it takes to start. What's already on the site is the material.

  • It reads your siteWhat you sell, who buys, how it sounds: read from one link.

  • What you have is the materialWe turn intros, product descriptions and FAQ into posts.

  • Fitted to each channelPhoto posts, multi-image carousels, short text cards, text posts, with length and hashtags fitted to each channel.

  • Only confirmed factsPrices, dates and discounts come only from what your site confirms.

  • The right day and timeWe pick when to post, too.

The house is already well built. The path comes one step at a time.
