Check Out Our Travel Blog: Mid-Atlantic Traveler
Since I like to travel and I like to write, I thought I’d combine my two loves into a travel blog called Mid-Atlantic Traveler covering the area I know best: the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. I’ll be posting about some of my own adventures as well as interesting finds, hidden gems and plenty of things to do through our region…and beyond.
Recently we wrote about the new Frank Lloyd Wright property where you can stay overnight, the Maine Avenue Fish Market in DC, the International Water Tasting Competition (where I am a judge), the Green Bank Science Center and telescope in WV, York County PA Factory Tours and how to explore Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, to name a few. And there are many more stories to come.
Some of my travel articles have appeared in magazines and newspapers throughout our region, and some adventures will be new to me–and possibly you. Be sure to follow our blog to keep up with the latest finds.

If you’d like to write about an interesting trip, location or find in the Mid-Atlantic region, we’re always looking for people to guest post! That way you can tell people that you are a travel writer too!

Why a Well-Done Intake Interview is Vitally Important to Writing Copy
When working with a new client, we always perform what we call an “Intake Interview.” This interview is valuable in a number of ways.
Get the Facts
First, it provides us with the facts we need about a company’s products, services, customer service policies, history, background, target customer audience and goals.
Get the Tone
Second, it gives us the opportunity to “hear” the company owner. We listen not just for the facts but for how the owner represents the business. Does he or she speak using technical language? Are the sentences long or short? Is there humor? This helps us to write in “their voice,” not our own, and is especially helpful when writing a speech the interviewee will be delivering. Most of the time our client remarks, “It sounds just like me!”
Get the Customer
Listening also helps us to uncover problems the owner may be having in the business, or issues their customers might be having. These can and should be addressed when creating good copy. Continue reading →
All the Buzz Creates Website Copy for Advanced Family Dentistry

Dr. Sonny Kim is a Diplomat of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), the highest education level for general dentists in this field.
All the Buzz was pleased to create the copy for the website for Advanced Family Dentistry, an existing dental practice operated by Dr. Sonny Kim in Reston, Virginia.
Dr. Kim’s dental practice had been open for many years, and required a refreshed website to reflect a more modern and professional look. A bright new design, easy navigation, and short, yet informative copy was just what he needed and wanted.
We noticed that some of the basic information people need to know was missing from the original site and added this to the new site, along with the new and more advanced specialties now offered by the practice. The new copy highlights the benefits of Advanced Family Dentistry’s dental care, customer service appeal, and experience.
The new website introduces an informative blog that highlights the various areas of Dr. Kim’s practice and answers questions people may have about dental care and dental issues. The new copy and blog boosted his search engine optimization (SEO) to make him more easily found in an organic search of dentists in the Reston and Northern Virginia area. It will continue to climb in the rankings as more and more focused content is added.
Professional practices, like dental and doctor offices, need to update their their websites regularly. An old, outdated or unprofessional website will not create confidence when trying to attract new patients. It will also not serve as a marketing tool or appear in Google searches. And as most people turn to the Internet to find services they need, this can be disastrous for a practice’s ongoing success.

All the Buzz Creates Website Copy for EverSmile Dentistry
All the Buzz was instrumental in creating the copy and blog posts on the website for EverSmile Dentistry, a new practice opened by Dr. Eddie Choi, D.D.S. in Sterling, Virginia.
Dr. Choi acquired the dental practice of the retiring Dr. Rubino of Rubino Dental, opening in the same location. However, Dr. Choi’s philosophy and areas of practice had to reflect his own practice, not that of the former owner’s.
He wanted a style that was Continue reading →
Warning: Google’s October 2017 Deadline for SSL Certificates
If your website receives text input (like eCommerce) but does not have an SSL certificate, come October 2017 Google Chrome will begin “punishing” sites by posting a red “Not Secure” warning visible to anyone seeking out your website.
This means that your website address must read “https” at the beginning of its address, rather than “http”. When secure, the “s”, along with a lock icon will appear in the header bar in your web address.
Sensitive text input such as passwords and credit card information are vulnerable on unencrypted sites, and the “Not Secure” warning is a Continue reading →
Why Keywords Matter for SEO
Although the rules of search engine optimization (SEO) change frequently, one thing remains constant: the need for content that is keyword-relevant.
Not 20 years ago, it was easy to get noticed with your own website. But now that there are more than 1 billion websites on the World Wide Web, it is increasingly difficult to grab your audience’s attention and get them to click on your site. Continue reading →
