4 Things Your Website is Missing
Having a website must for small
businesses these days. If you don’t have a website yet to market your product
or services, you are missing out on the essential “pull” traffic that Google
search and others provide. However, many companies do have a website but are
missing some essential elements when they come to Severity Design to make
updates or changes. Here listed the top 4 things your current website is most
likely missing:
Mobile Version
Google has recently updated their
search results to penalize websites that are not mobile friendly. The use of
smart phones are increasing monthly, so as more and more people are using their
smart phones to search, you must have a mobile version of your website
otherwise you will not even be found. Make sure your website design is
“responsive”. This means that the website is coded to figure out what type of
device it is being displayed on and will resize the page appropriately. A
mobile version also has large enough navigation and clear business location and
phone number details.
Search Engine Optimization
Despite all the talk about the
importance of SEO, many business websites still are buried in search results
never to be found. Some of the important factors are like on page optimization
(local NAP, keywords in titles and domain authority), External signals (NAP
consistency in other places, quality backlinks), Blogging, etc., which are
attribute to getting found on Google If your website doesn’t have keywords
littered throughout the site, quality backlinks or a blog, you’re not likely to
be found.
Clear Call to Action
Now that someone is at your
website, what do you want them to do? So many websites forget or leave this
important action off the table. You have about 5 seconds to gain the attention
of a website viewer and get them to do something on your website. This could be
a quick contact form with a button that says “Contact Us Today” or a phone
button with “Call Now”. Take some time and think through what you want the user
to do? Why are they there in the first place? Do not miss this potential
conversion for your website. On mobile sites your CTA (Call To Action) must be clickable or
tappable.
Blog
You’ve probably heard the phrase
“CONTENT IS KING” by now. It still rings true to doing business on the internet
and a blog is the way to publish relevant, valuable articles that your visitors
may find interesting. The average consumer is savvier today and are more likely
to educate themselves before they buy. Provide them the answers to the
questions they seek in your blog. You could also use your blog as a FAQ section
of your website or a customer service tool. Save yourself the time in answering
commonly asked questions in this valuable section of your website.
