Crafting the Perfect About Page: Building Trust with Potential Puppy Buyers
Crafting the Perfect About Page: Building Trust with Potential Puppy Buyers
Your website’s About page isn’t just a formality — it’s your first handshake with a future puppy family. Whether you breed Labradors, Frenchies, Bernedoodles, or Chihuahuas, your About page matters. It’s where trust begins.
1. Why Your About Page Matters
When people search for a puppy, they aren't just evaluating the puppies — they're evaluating YOU. Your About page answers the question: "Can I trust this breeder with my next family member?"
2. The Power of Storytelling in Breeder Marketing
Everyone loves a good story. Share yours:
How you fell in love with your breed
Your passion for health and temperament
Your mission as a responsible breeder
Quick Tip: Use Canva’s "Magic Write" feature to help you draft your story if you're not sure where to start!
3. Key Elements Every Dog Breeder About Page Needs
Your Breeder Story: Why and how you started
Breeding Philosophy: Health, genetics, socialization priorities
Location: Where you are and whether you offer delivery/transport
Photos/Videos: Authentic visuals of you with your dogs
Trust Indicators: Certifications, memberships, health guarantees
Easy Contact: Make it simple to reach out
4. How to Use Photos, Videos, and AI Tools to Build Trust
Photos: Include lifestyle images, not just formal posed shots. Puppies playing, moms nursing, you interacting lovingly with the dogs.
Videos: Vertical videos (Reels, Shorts, TikToks) are GOLD. A 30-second intro video made in Canva (with your logo and subtitles) can instantly boost connection.
AI Tools:
ChatGPT: Helps you brainstorm your "About" story fast
Canva Magic Write: Draft catchy captions, video scripts, and story highlights
