They understand it holds the key to business growth, but they’re unsure how to optimise it.
In this week’s instalment of zero-cost marketing secrets, we talk about the benefits of Website Grader. It’s a super helpful tool created by HubSpot that tells you precisely where your site needs attention.
If you are anything like me, you probably get a little agitated when driving behind a slow car in the fast lane.
You’ve got things to do and people to see, right!?
That agitation is similar to what prospects feel when they visit a slow website.
Your visitors are leaving before you have a chance to WOW and delight them with your fantastic product or service!
You could have the absolute best solution, but your sales opportunity has just vanished.
Today, every business must be focused on digital transformation, connection to the world and operational efficiencies. Still, the fact is, most websites are overdue an upgrade.
The problem is that your old website no longer works efficiently with today’s technology, or it doesn’t quickly provide what the visitor is looking for.
The news doesn’t get any better for the remaining 60% of visitors left browsing.
Back to the store example, imaging having 100 people gathered in a store again.
You’ve just opened the doors, and people have piled in and are happily browsing and chatting amongst themselves.
Less than 2 minutes later, 98 of them have left or are heading to the exit door.
Now, all that’s left are two interested prospects and a memory of what could have been on that day.
Sadly, that is the actual reality of what most business websites are up against every day.
The solution is to change the visitor experience. Convert more prospects and have a strategy to entice them to return often.
The more we understand the visitor, the better we can quickly provide a product or service that fits their need.
When businesses discover how to do this, they reach a new level of growth and profitability.
All this starts with the user experience that visitors have when they first land on your website.
Website Grader quickly and easily provides a health check and advice to fix common website problems.
