After the Traffic Arrives
47After the Traffic Arrives
So you’ve done all the right things. You’ve picked an
attractive URL, written mounds and mounds of relevant
content, you’ve set up some pay-per-click ads, maybe you’ve
even shelled out some big money to have a custom design for
your company’s website. Now you have some traffic to worry
about.
Now, I’m sure you’ve already worried about these things
plenty, but just to make sure, here’s some major things you
need to be concerned about when you have plenty of traffic
for your website.
2. Try using testimonials. It can be a pain to contact a previous customer to ask them to write a review but having legitimate previous customers is invaluable to your reputation plus it will give you a chance to follow up with a customer.
3. Offer something to the customer free of charge. This is an age-old technique that sometimes turns people away but not if you’re smart about it. Offer a trial of your product or service to let the customer have a test-drive. Also, you can offer them information free of charge, which leads to the next point.
4. Publish some of your knowledge and insight on your home page. Not only does this draw people to your sight in the first place, but also by helping the customer out before they’ve spent any money, you’ve already proven that you are on their side. If your company sells sporting goods, write an article that provides tips on how to use certain sporting equipment. If your company mows lawns, provide some knowledge of different types of grass or when to water your grass. By offering up some of your wisdom, you get a chance to help your customers before they spend any money, that way they are much more willing to trust you when they decide to do just that.
Using these tips and a little common sense, I’m confident
that you can turn potential customers into loyal customers
and that more and more information seekers will turn to you
for your service or product. A few things to remember: these
are just some of the right things to do when you have
traffic coming to your website (don’t be afraid to learn
some more!), and never neglect SEO (keep looking for ways to
make your content fresh and relevant).
