Your website is so important in today’s digital-first era. Today’s buyer is going to check out your company’s online presence. They want to educate themselves on your products/solutions through your content, blogs, eBooks and videos.
Do you need a new website?
Answer these questions to determine if you should upgrade your site:
- Can users actually find your website online? If they can’t find your site with a simple Google search, then how will you expect to attract new customers? There are ways to improve your search engine optimization (SEO) by centering your website around keywords, topic clusters and pillar pages.
- Is your content talking all about you and your product? Your messaging should be clear, concise and tell people what you can do for them. Address the problems users have, and educate them on how your product/service can benefit them.
- Is your website generating new leads/business enquiries? If you aren’t engaging your website visitors other than having a contact us page, you will lose out on potential leads. Providing transitional calls-to-action on your website can help educate your potential buyer and show that your company is an expert in your field.
Does your website offer an awesome user experience? Does your website provide high quality content with calls-to-action? Is your website easy to navigate? If your website is unappealing and hard to find the information visitors are looking for, they will most likely leave your site.
If you don’t have a web presence at all or if your current website is outdated, visitors aren’t going to engage and become new customers.
It can be overwhelming to decide what platform to build your website on. Consider the facts and goals of your business.
