It’s surprising how many small business websites don’t make their phone number immediately visible on every page. If you want more customers, make it easy for them to call you!
Today’s small business websites should be designed to be “responsive” — meaning that the content of each webpage will resize automatically to be easily read and look good on small mobile phone screens and tablet screens.
Most people today will use their mobile phones to find and view your business online. Have you checked to make sure they can view and navigate your website pages easily from a phone?
Is your website designed so that visitors can click to call or email you?
If your website is outdated and hard to read or navigate from a small phone screen, we can help! We have affordable website solutions for every budget.
Your single most valuable asset as a business owner is your list of customers and interested prospects. How are you building this list?
Your website can (and should) help you build this valuable asset. It should have a built-in lead-capture form with an incentive offer for those who provide their name and email address. Depending on the nature of your business, successful lead-generating incentive offers include: free samples, free birthday meal, a one-time discount, a free consultation, an educational report or video. We can help you brainstorm and test lead-generating offers for your business, and set up the lead capture forms that will help you grow your business.
Your website can position your business at the top of your local marketplace if it is designed and maintained properly. Authority positioning is an ongoing process that does not happen overnight or even in a matter of weeks.
Just as you must eat nutritious food daily to keep your body in peak operating condition, so too must your website be fed and maintained with a nourishing diet of optimized content that engages your readers and attracts more of your ideal customers.
If you are focusing your time and energy on running your own business, chances are that you simply do not have the time, the desire or the know-how to manage your own website effectively in a way that will position yourself as a leading authority in your local marketplace. That’s where we can help.
Our authority-building marketing services include:
Thinking of Building Your Website Yourself?
If a home builder handed you the tools to build a house (hammer, saw, nails and a house plan) … does that mean you have the skill and know-how to build your own house and have it pass inspection?
Have you ever attempted to fix a plumbing problem in your home .. only to make it worse … and more expensive to fix?
Your website is the entryway to your business online. You only have one chance to make a positive first impression … and unless you are a skilled website designer yourself, a DIY website can do more harm than good for your business’ image.
Investing in professional website design and development will pay for itself many times over by setting you apart in your local marketplace and attracting more perfect clients and customers who can refer more business to you as well.
