Have you recently created a company website and don’t have an idea for the content?
If you don’t know how to write a good description for your company and fill the “about us” or “about the company” page with text, use the examples I’ve prepared today. Whatever industry you’re in – construction, transport, electricity, catering, or perhaps something else, you’ll find inspiration below.

Remember, however, to modify the texts I have prepared to a considerable extent. Adapt the texts to the needs of your business, look for synonyms and reshape sentence order so that Google’s algorithm does not consider the content on your site to be duplicated.
Otherwise, your site may be ‘punished’ with filters from Google and kicked out of the index. Your best bet is to check the uniqueness of your finished text with a free plagiarism spotting tool, for example on THIS PAGE.

Let’s move on to the substance of today’s post that are examples of company descriptions for various industries.

Company descriptions, “About Us” page – examples

I have prepared 4 examples for you – a sample description for a renovation and construction company, a transport company, an electrical company and a catering company.
Once again, I warn you against duplicating content. Treat the descriptions below as inspiration only – adapt the texts to your needs, change them, and then make sure that your content is not plagiarised.

Bear in mind that the examples of descriptions I have included in this post are quite general. To make your description unique and personalised, add something more from yourself. Introduce your team, share the history of the company, or outline its mission and values. Every company is different, with diverse strengths and individual characteristics. Therefore, your company description should be unique and one-of-a-kind. 🙂

How to write a good company description? How do I fill in the “About us” page with content?

How to write a good company description? 5 elementsA good company description is one that encourages a potential customer to interact. On the “About us” page, it is a good idea to use the ‘language of benefits’, write about what makes the company special, and what the customer can gain by choosing to cooperate with us. If you want to write a good company description yourself, bear in mind a few essential elements.

1. Uniqueness

A company description should be unique and original. After all, its task is to introduce potential customers to our company. That is why it is worth enriching the “About us” section with information specific only to the company, i.e. share its beginnings, mention its development path, and list features and achievements that the competition does not have. It is also worth showing the ‘human face’ of the company by describing the team and its values.

2. Brevity

A description of a company can only be long if its story is fascinating enough not to bore or discourage the viewer from interacting. It is worth describing aspects such as the company’s beginnings or its mission statement, but be sure to answer the most important question – what the company does. It is also important that the content of the “About Us” page is clear and comprehensible to the recipient.

3. Authenticity

When describing the company, it is a good idea to use the so-called ‘language of benefits’ and focus on what the potential customer can gain by choosing to cooperate. Keep in mind, however, that the “About Us” section is not the place for empty boasting. It is better to avoid banal phrases such as “the best company”, “No. 1 in the United Kingdom” or “the leader”. These types of phrases are overused and recipients are sensitive to them. It is better to boast about the company’s specific achievements.

4. Tailoring to the audience

When creating content for a company’s website, it is important to bear in mind who you are targeting with your communication. In some cases, casualness and nonchalance are advisable, in others it is far better to use official language. It all depends on who your potential customer is and what image you want to create for your company. It is worth thinking it through.

5. Uniqueness

I don’t think I need to convince anyone that the text on the “About Us” page, as well as on every other sub-page, should be unique. It is not a good idea to duplicate content from other websites, as this is illegal and is an infringement that Google would not tolerate. If we want to be visible on the Internet, we have to bet on good, unique content.

Why is a company description so important?

The “About Us” page is very frequently visited, both by potential customers and business partners as well as employees. On the basis of the company description, recipients make choices to learn more about the offer and make contact.

This is why it is so important to put effort into writing a good text for this subpage.

The company description is a confirmation of the company’s credibility, a chance to show a genuine, “human” side to potential customers and employees and to gain trust. Above all, however, an encouraging company description is a chance to grow your business and make fruitful sales.

I hope that, with my examples and tips, you will manage to write a unique and encouraging description for your company. I wish you good luck in developing your business. 🙂
