Even if your business is on a budget you can turn your website into a lead generating machine:

  • Quality of content – Poor quality, and confusing pages and blog posts with too much text may cost you readers on both desktop and mobile platforms. Use a mix of eye-catching images, videos, and attention grabbing headlines that appeal to your market’s needs. Answering their questions right away will encourage them to want to know more about your brand.
  • Website speed – Use online tools to evaluate the loading time when your visitors arrive at your brand’s website. Sometimes this could be an issue with your host provider, or a matter of images and video that are causing slow loading times. Other factors can include broken links, referral spam, or a website that has not been updated. Check with a web developer for any other issues that may causing this issue.
  • Keep it simple – If your brand’s landing page appears too cluttered with information this may cause confusion or “friction,” which is a leading factor in losing visitors. Condense your information into bite sized paragraphs and transfer longer descriptions to sub pages with the most important elements on the front end.
  • Include testimonials – Provide your readers with verified recommendations right from the start. Focus your call to action on answering your target market’s pain points with a softer approach to attracting subscribers. This could include a free offer, great tips, an exclusive eBook offer, ect.

There are many responsive designs available today that doesn’t require you to be a technical expert, and with the use of online tools you can quickly find out how and why your brand’s visitors are engaging when they arrive at your landing page.
