According to research by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/reports\/about-us-presenting-company-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nielsen Norman Group on corporate pages<\/a>, a well-designed &#8220;About Us&#8221; section must answer the user&#8217;s questions, build trust and connect emotionally with the organization. To achieve this, the elements that cannot be missing are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clear mission:<\/strong> explain the reason for your existence in a sentence the reader can repeat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Authentic origin story:<\/strong> <em>brand storytelling<\/em> with real obstacles generates more credibility than any advertising claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Actionable values:<\/strong> not generic lists (&#8220;honesty&#8221;, &#8220;innovation&#8221;), but principles that translate into concrete decisions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visible team:<\/strong> names, photos and roles humanize the company and reduce purchase friction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Differentiated value proposition:<\/strong> what you do that no one else does, in your customer&#8217;s language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social proof:<\/strong> figures, awards, clients or media that back up what you claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call to action (CTA):<\/strong> the &#8220;About Us&#8221; page is not the end of the journey; it is a bridge toward conversion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Customers prefer companies whose values resonate with their own, which makes the <strong>content architecture<\/strong> of this page a real competitive advantage. And from the <strong>E-E-A-T<\/strong> perspective (experience, expertise, authority and trust), Google values it too: a well-built About Us page reinforces the authorship and legitimacy signals of the entire site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_create_your_%E2%80%9CAbout_Us%E2%80%9D_section_step_by_step\"><\/span>How to create your &#8220;About Us&#8221; section step by step?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before writing a single word, define these three pillars:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Who are you talking to?<\/strong> The tone and level of detail change radically depending on whether your reader is a B2B purchasing director or an end consumer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What do you want them to do when they finish reading?<\/strong> Contact you, subscribe, request a quote\u2026 the CTA must be clear before you write the first paragraph.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What makes you different?<\/strong> Identify a real differentiator: a unique origin, an exclusive process, a cause you defend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With those three pillars clear, the writing process becomes predictable. Start with a captivating narrative that speaks about your passion and your company&#8217;s purpose. Incorporate testimonials or quotes from founders and employees that reinforce the culture. And make sure the tone reflects your brand&#8217;s personality: if your company is innovative, use fresh language; if you value tradition, opt for a more sober tone. The <strong>UX of the About Us page<\/strong> also matters: short paragraphs, clear headings and a visual hierarchy that guides the reader toward the CTA.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Us_examples_15_real_companies_that_do_it_right\"><\/span>About Us examples: 15 real companies that do it right<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"nseo-image nseo-image--inline-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quienes-somos-ejemplos-quienes-somos-ejemplos-15-empresas-reales-que-lo-hacen-bi.jpg\" alt=\"Sixteen abstract company icons representing different sectors and corporate identities.\" class=\"nseo-image\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>These 15 real companies prove that an effective company description combines a clear purpose, authentic story and unique visual differentiation in its sector.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These are the best <strong>about us examples<\/strong> you can analyze and adapt to your business.

The consistency between declared mission and real action is what turns the text into credibility.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Notion_%E2%80%94_storytelling_about_tools_not_product\"><\/span>2.

The all-in-one work platform presents its &#8220;About Us&#8221; page as a story about knowledge work tools, tracing the evolution from analog tools to modern software. The company&#8217;s mission \u2014that &#8220;humans are tool builders by nature&#8221;\u2014 is woven into the narrative rather than stated as an empty corporate slogan. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the reader understands the &#8220;what for&#8221; before being sold anything.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_HubSpot_%E2%80%94_mission_first_story_after\"><\/span>3.

It also features a video from the CEO talking about his initial interactions with the founder and his vision for the future. By including that video, HubSpot attracts potential customers through a new medium they may be eager to consume. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> it combines corporate <em>brand storytelling<\/em> with social proof in audiovisual format.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_RXBAR_%E2%80%94_radical_honesty_from_the_headline\"><\/span>4.

The reader continues to discover the brand&#8217;s evolution through a &#8220;Then and Now&#8221; slider. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the value proposition \u2014honesty in ingredients\u2014 <strong>is communicated from the very first line<\/strong>, before any product description.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Airbnb_%E2%80%94_belonging_as_purpose\"><\/span>5.

Its &#8220;About Us&#8221; page publishes internal salaries, business metrics and the decision-making process. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> <strong>transparency builds trust<\/strong> in a way that no corporate paragraph can match. It is the most cited example in the content marketing world when talking about brand authenticity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Mercadona_%E2%80%94_closeness_and_commitment_to_the_%E2%80%9Cboss%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>7.

Its corporate section revolves around the total quality business model and the commitment to Spanish suppliers. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the customer feels like the protagonist of the story, not the recipient of a speech. It is an about us example that any mass consumer company can study.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Zappos_%E2%80%94_culture_first\"><\/span>8.

It does not talk about shipping or returns; it talks about how it treats its employees and customers. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> when culture is authentic and visible, <strong>the product sells itself<\/strong>. The bet on values as the narrative axis is replicable in any sector.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Oatly_%E2%80%94_irreverent_voice_and_anti-marketing\"><\/span>9.

Its colloquial and irreverent tone is consistent with its entire brand identity. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the consistency between tone and product generates instant credibility, and breaks the reader&#8217;s expectation in a memorable way.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Algabo_%E2%80%94_origin_story_with_concrete_data\"><\/span>10.

Its &#8220;About Us&#8221; page highlights that humble origin and its international expansion. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the evolution from garage to exporter makes the story credible and emotionally resonant.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_INTEGRA_%E2%80%94_the_team_as_protagonist\"><\/span>11. \u00cdNTEGRA \u2014 the team as protagonist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The brand \u00cdNTEGRA includes a section especially dedicated to the team: &#8220;Our artists.&#8221; There they talk about the co-creation involved in every detail of the brand and the joint work to bring the final product to life. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> humanizing the company with the real people behind it <strong>reduces purchase friction<\/strong> and turns the page into a trust argument more powerful than any certification.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Patagonia_%E2%80%94_the_founder_as_symbol\"><\/span>12.

In 2022, Chouinard donated all his Patagonia shares to a fund and a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating global warming. That act turned the mission into worldwide news. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> when the founder embodies the values, <strong>credibility is at its maximum<\/strong> and the &#8220;About Us&#8221; page becomes living proof, not a promise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Odoo_%E2%80%94_value_proposition_in_the_headline\"><\/span>13.

They add credibility by showing awards and recognition from the open source sector. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the value proposition appears before any product description, which <strong>reduces the visitor&#8217;s decision time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_ActiveCampaign_%E2%80%94_the_team_as_social_proof\"><\/span>14.

They include a small section describing what a normal day at the company looks like. This attracts potential employees and puts a face to the company, making it more approachable. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> internal social proof (happy team) reinforces the external customer&#8217;s trust more effectively than any advertising claim.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Desigual_%E2%80%94_brand_personality_as_differentiator\"><\/span>15.

It shares its history, values and achievements in a visually attractive and creative way, consistent with its colorful and boundary-breaking fashion proposition. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> <strong>the visual identity and the tone of the text are inseparable<\/strong>; the reader understands what Desigual is before seeing a single garment. It is an about us example where form is just as important as content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_table_the_15_examples_at_a_glance\"><\/span>Comparison table: the 15 examples at a glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use this table to identify which technique best fits your sector and business model before you start writing your own &#8220;About Us&#8221; page.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Company<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Main technique<\/th>\n<th>Tone<\/th>\n<th>Visible CTA<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Patagonia (mission)<\/td>\n<td>Fashion \/ Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>Activism as identity<\/td>\n<td>Committed, direct<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Notion<\/td>\n<td>SaaS \/ Productivity<\/td>\n<td>Brand storytelling about tools<\/td>\n<td>Reflective, philosophical<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HubSpot<\/td>\n<td>SaaS \/ Marketing<\/td>\n<td>Mission + CEO video<\/td>\n<td>Professional, approachable<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RXBAR<\/td>\n<td>Food<\/td>\n<td>Radical honesty in headline<\/td>\n<td>Direct, unfiltered<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Airbnb<\/td>\n<td>Tourism \/ Platform<\/td>\n<td>Emotional purpose (&#8220;belonging&#8221;)<\/td>\n<td>Warm, inspiring<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Buffer<\/td>\n<td>SaaS \/ Social media<\/td>\n<td>Radical transparency<\/td>\n<td>Open, honest<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mercadona<\/td>\n<td>Retail \/ Mass market<\/td>\n<td>Customer as protagonist (&#8220;boss&#8221;)<\/td>\n<td>Close, familiar<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zappos<\/td>\n<td>E-commerce \/ Footwear<\/td>\n<td>Culture and values as axis<\/td>\n<td>Enthusiastic, human<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Oatly<\/td>\n<td>Food \/ Beverages<\/td>\n<td>Anti-marketing and irreverence<\/td>\n<td>Ironic, colloquial<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Algabo<\/td>\n<td>Personal care<\/td>\n<td>Origin story with data<\/td>\n<td>Proud, narrative<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00cdNTEGRA<\/td>\n<td>Fashion \/ Craftsmanship<\/td>\n<td>Team as protagonist<\/td>\n<td>Warm, artisanal<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Patagonia (founder)<\/td>\n<td>Fashion \/ Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>Founder as symbol of values<\/td>\n<td>Committed, epic<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Odoo<\/td>\n<td>SaaS \/ ERP<\/td>\n<td>Value proposition in headline<\/td>\n<td>Professional, ambitious<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ActiveCampaign<\/td>\n<td>SaaS \/ Email marketing<\/td>\n<td>Team and culture as social proof<\/td>\n<td>Approachable, motivating<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Desigual<\/td>\n<td>Fashion<\/td>\n<td>Visual personality + bold tone<\/td>\n<td>Provocative, creative<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_SME_examples_in_Spanish_that_also_do_it_well\"><\/span>Two SME examples in Spanish that also do it well<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Big names inspire, but sometimes what you need is to see how a company more similar to yours handles it. Here are two <strong>about us examples<\/strong> from small businesses in Spanish that prove size is no excuse.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_La_Pepita_Burger_Bar_hospitality_%E2%80%94_local_story_with_personality\"><\/span>16. La Pepita Burger Bar (hospitality) \u2014 local story with personality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This restaurant in Oviedo builds its corporate page around a love story for the artisan burger and local Asturian produce. There are no revenue figures or international awards: there are proper names, suppliers with faces and surnames, and a product philosophy the reader can almost smell. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> <strong>local specificity is its differentiator<\/strong>; any chain can copy the menu, but it cannot copy the story. Lesson for SMEs: your geographical origin and your suppliers are a narrative asset, not a minor detail.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Factorial_HR_Spanish_SaaS_%E2%80%94_growth_as_proof_of_concept\"><\/span>17. Factorial HR (Spanish SaaS) \u2014 growth as proof of concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.es\/sobre-nosotros\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Factorial<\/a>, the HR software for SMEs born in Barcelona in 2016, uses its &#8220;About Us&#8221; page to showcase the speed of its growth: number of employees, countries and clients, kept up to date. The narrative connects the pain of the Spanish entrepreneur (managing payroll and holidays in Excel) with the solution they built because they lived it themselves. <strong>Why it works:<\/strong> the <em>brand storytelling<\/em> starts from the customer&#8217;s problem, not the founder&#8217;s ego, and the growth figures act as <strong>quantifiable social proof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready-to-use_template_structure_your_%E2%80%9CAbout_Us%E2%80%9D_page\"><\/span>Ready-to-use template: structure your &#8220;About Us&#8221; page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is the framework that synthesizes the patterns from the best <strong>about us examples<\/strong> analyzed. Copy the blocks, fill in the brackets and you will have a solid first draft in less than an hour.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 1 \u2014 Mission headline (1 sentence, max. 15 words):<\/strong> answer &#8220;why does your company exist?&#8221; from the customer&#8217;s perspective, not yours. Avoid generic verbs like &#8220;offer&#8221; or &#8220;provide.&#8221; Example: &#8220;We help small businesses sell online without needing a technical team.&#8221;\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 2 \u2014 Origin story (2-3 paragraphs):<\/strong> include the exact moment the idea was born, the problem you wanted to solve and the first obstacle you overcame. Concrete data (year, place, number of people) multiplies credibility. Avoid the clich\u00e9 &#8220;we are passionate about what we do&#8221;; show the passion with facts.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 3 \u2014 Actionable values (list of 3-5 points):<\/strong> each value must be accompanied by a sentence explaining how it translates into day-to-day practice. &#8220;Honesty: we publish our prices with no fine print&#8221; is an actionable value. &#8220;Honesty&#8221; on its own is not.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 4 \u2014 The team (photos + name + role + quote):<\/strong> you don&#8217;t need to introduce everyone; 3-5 key people is enough. One personal sentence from each (&#8220;What I love most about working here is\u2026&#8221;) humanizes the company without adding unnecessary length.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 5 \u2014 Social proof (figures or logos):<\/strong> clients served, years of experience, countries, awards or media that have mentioned you. A single credible figure is worth more than ten adjectives.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Block 6 \u2014 CTA (1 clear button or link):<\/strong> decide what you want the reader to do when they finish: contact you, request a quote, view your services or subscribe. The CTA must be aligned with the funnel stage of whoever arrives at your corporate page.\n  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_mistakes_when_writing_your_%E2%80%9CAbout_Us%E2%80%9D_page\"><\/span>Common mistakes when writing your &#8220;About Us&#8221; page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Analyzing the best <strong>about us examples<\/strong> also reveals the patterns of what fails. These are the most common \u2014and most costly\u2014 mistakes companies make when writing their About Us page:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Generic text with no differentiation:<\/strong> phrases like &#8220;we are a company committed to quality and customer satisfaction&#8221; could belong to any business in the world. If you can replace your company&#8217;s name with a competitor&#8217;s without anything changing, the text does not work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No CTA:<\/strong> the &#8220;About Us&#8221; page is one of the most visited on the site and yet many companies leave it without any call to action. It is like opening the door of your shop and having no counter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talking about the company, not the customer:<\/strong> the reader arrives asking &#8220;what is here for me?&#8221; If your page only answers &#8220;who are we?&#8221;, you have missed the opportunity to connect. <strong>The protagonist must always be the customer<\/strong>, not the founder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not showing the team:<\/strong> companies that hide their people generate distrust, especially in service sectors. A real photo and a proper name are worth more than any quality certification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring the UX of the About Us page:<\/strong> dense blocks of text without headings, lists or visual hierarchy cause the reader to leave before reaching the key message. The content architecture of this page must guide the eye, not obstruct it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decorative values:<\/strong> listing &#8220;innovation, commitment, excellence&#8221; without explaining what they mean in practice is the corporate equivalent of saying nothing. Values that do not translate into concrete behaviors do not build trust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not updating the page:<\/strong> an &#8220;About Us&#8221; page with data from five years ago (number of employees, clients, markets) conveys neglect. Review it at least once a year and update the figures; it is one of the easiest <strong>E-E-A-T<\/strong> signals to maintain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<section class=\"nseo-sources\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources\"><\/span>Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zappos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zappos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoominfo.com\/c\/zapposcom-llc\/195428490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zappos &#8211; Overview, News &amp; Similar companies | ZoomInfo.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/zappos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zappos.com | Las Vegas NV | Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/profile\/company\/3349299Z:US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zappos.com Inc &#8211; Company Profile and News &#8211; Bloomberg Markets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zappos.com\/c\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">About Us<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover 15 real commented About Us examples, a comparison table, a ready-to-use template and the most common mistakes so your About Us page converts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-tecnologia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
