3 Biggest Mistakes Software Dev Agencies Make in Their Content (And How to Fix Them)

by | Mar 2, 2025 | Content Strategy

Most software dev agencies think their content speaks to their ideal client.

But if that were true, you’d have dream clients reaching out—not just bouncing after a few seconds.

When was the last time a prospect messaged you saying,

“Your content spoke to me—I need your help”?

If the answer is never (or rarely), that’s a problem.

The good news? Fixing it is simpler than you think. But almost no dev agency does it—because they focus on the wrong things.

3 Biggest Mistakes Dev Agencies Make in Their Content

Writing to Impress, Not to Connect – Filling content with jargon, buzzwords, and complex explanations that alienate prospects instead of making them feel understood.

Talking About Themselves Instead of the Client – Describing your tech stack and process instead of speaking to the client’s actual pain points.

Creating ‘Useful’ Content That’s Forgettable – Posting educational content without emotion or storytelling, which doesn’t make potential clients feel compelled to reach out.

How to Fix It & Make Your Content Resonate

Speak in client outcomes, not technical jargon. Show them what they gain, not what you do.

Make your content about their pain points. Clients don’t care about your stack—they care about their struggles and goals.

Use storytelling & emotion. People don’t remember facts—they remember how something made them feel.

If your agency fixes these three mistakes, your content will go from ignored to irresistible to your ideal clients.
