If you are an entrepreneur, then you know the importance of having a professional website and acquiring regular traffic. Getting traffic is good but it’s only half the work. The real challenge at this point is to keep the visitor on the website for a long time to learn more about what you have to offer and, even better, to bring it back because you have attracted interest and want to know more.
So, what makes visitors come back to visit your website? What can you do to keep your visitors past the first few seconds?
Be clear about your activity
When a visitor arrives on your site, is he able to clearly understand the nature of your website? Your visitors need to know very quickly if your website is relevant to their query. If they can not understand what you are doing, they will move quickly to a competitor’s site. Keep this in mind, if a visitor has landed on your website, it is very often for a very specific reason. He is looking for something that meets his needs or a solution to his problem. Your job is to help him find the information he needs as quickly and clearly as possible.
Know your target audience
Everything about your website, from its graphics chart, its color code, the size of characters to its content and the editorial tone used, must speak to your target market. If your website tries to reach everyone, you will end up not interested in anyone. Do not be afraid to really zoom in and be specific about the ideal customer you want to serve. In fact, the more specific you are, the better.
Keep your website simple
Your website can offer an out-of-the-ordinary user experience, or offer animations or awesome features from a technology perspective, but if it does not engage your visitors and keep them off the first few seconds, you lose them forever.
Boost your site
Everything in this world is going very fast. People are very busy and getting their attention is difficult. Your website should load quickly otherwise you run the risk of seeing your visitors go elsewhere. No one has the patience to wait more than 3s for a web page to load, especially if it is open on a mobile device. Make a technically clean website to make sure nothing is slowing it down. If your site is slow and you do not understand why? You can get help from a professional.
Look professional.
Make sure the ‘look & feel’ of your website can bring credit, that your business appears trustworthy and not spam. Why not a site made by yourself as long as you respect the basic design rules and have an eye for aesthetics. Make your choice and evaluate the opportunities between investing in a professional website (think about the advice you can get) and making one yourself.
The problem with a tinkered site is that it feels like miles. Ultimately, why should your potential customers invest in your products and services if your website says loudly ‘I do not want to invest in my own business? ‘.
Naturally, independent contractors often have a tight budget at startup. However, a professional website, good photographs and flawless writing are some of the key investments you should not be saving money for.
Hunt for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
Spelling mistakes and bad grammar send bad signals to your visitors. We are talking about trust here: if a potential customer has to spend money on your products and services, they need to be able to trust your business. Spelling errors and grammatical errors make your business seem less trustworthy.
Many studies show that potential buyers will tend not to use a company that presents content with obvious grammatical or spelling errors on their website. The argument is that they would not trust the company to provide quality service.
Fresh and up-to-date content
If the last article on your blog is a year old or older, if the latest news starts in 2012 then it’s time to dust off the content, hunt the cobwebs or your visitors will assume that your business is no longer very active. Make sure you keep your site up to date. Nobody wants to do business with a company that presents content that seems old and not brought up to date. Having recent content also tells search engines like Google that your website is still active.
Make it easy to use
Make sure that your website is easy to navigate and that your visitors can find the information they need quickly without having to analyze too many levels of information.
Use images and white space to provide an easy-to-read layout. Too much text will repel reading. Use text caps, titles, and subtitles to prioritize information by giving the possibility of a quick diagonal reading. Use the categories and hierarchy of your website to group the contents in a logical way. Make your visitors contact you easily.
Easy on the pub
If you have a blog that you want to profit from with advertising, be careful not to disturb the visitor with too much advertising display. This makes navigation on the site difficult. Ads that contain a lot of animation are particularly bad. Also, having too many ads on your site makes it slower to load. Monetizing your site is a good idea, but be attentive to the expectations of your visitors. Think about strategic locations for ads.
Clear call to action (CTA)
Do not assume that your visitors will automatically know what to do. You must tell them clearly. Want to subscribe to your newsletter? Tell them that so clearly with a call to action button. Think of an incentive to do so. Do you want to request a quote? Tell them where to go to fill out the form or display your telephone number clearly. You want that they organize a free consultation call? Provide the link to book a call with you.
A visitors engaged is a potential buyer
Caring commitment of visitors is one of the most important things for you, website owners. Engaged visitors will be more likely to buy your products, buy your services and sign up for your mailing lists. They will also remember your business and return more easily to learn more
