Kick That Conversion – Score Big With Your Website’s Visitor-To-Lead Conversion Rate Using SEO and Other Essential Strategies

Website’s Visitor-To-Lead Conversion Rate Using SEO and Other Essential Strategies
Tips from Digital Marketing Experts

Focusing your attention on the type of visitors you want to attract to your website is a major part of increasing your visitor-to-lead conversion rate.  Making your site a haven for warm leads is essential to your success. Concerns regarding the quality of your leads should be just as high up your list of site goals as the focus on the foot traffic. Quality and quantity are a non-negotiable, interconnected, dynamic duo.

User Experience (UX)

Your site needs to be stylish, approachable and trustworthy–just like your favorite leading lady or leading man in that iconic role you love. A clear and uncluttered website, with a focused call-to-action, interactive content, aligned branding, and intuitive design principles, will make your site visitor more likely to achieve conversion. 

Removal of all friction between the customer and your goal action for them is equally important. While it is tempting to add in lots of additional products and ideas, as they cruise down the home straight to take your desired action, it can create unexpected hurdles and the last thing anyone wants is a disqualification as your ‘near conversion’ flounces off the pitch in disgust and frustration from what should have been a simple process. 

Value Proposition

Here we are, down to the nitty-gritty of the sales pitch. However, this isn’t any old school sales patter. Give them absolute clarity of vision. This is the real deal of why your customer should invest their financial and social resources on your product or service. You are sure to be the savvy and practical answer to their specific problem, because they found their way to you, and because you are investing the best of yourself in what you offer. So tell them that. Offer valid reasons, a solid value proposition, why they need you and your brand.

Improved SEO

Where is a discussion about web marketing without a reference SEO? It is truly the roadmap for all serious entrepreneurs and businesses. Without it, you have little-to-no direction, and no-one can find you. Yet with it in hand, the landscape opens up and opportunities abound. Make sure all of your SEO keyword opportunities are maximized and updated regularly. Without this essential box ticked, all those lovely organic searches with strong purchase intent will breeze past you from the half-way line.

Multiple Personas 

Facebook has the data, you have the creativity and vision, and so, with a decent dollop of analytics, you have a pretty solid team. Focus on the capacity to visualize the personas of the people you want to turn from cold visitors to warm leads and conversions. These personas will be able to show you how best to interact with your real-life site visitors.

They will also show you who the real visitors are. Not the expected, not the projected, but the real. You might find that a different, broader version of a non-traditional demographic than expected, is engaging with your brand. Rather than trying to corral the people you think ‘should’ be there, you are then in the enviable position of being able to tailor your style to suit them, encouraging an ever-rising conversion rate.

Website Experiments

As the saying goes, there are so many different ways to skin the proverbial cat that you won’t be able to please all of the people, all of the time. But with a keen eye on your analytics and a bit of experimentation, you will be able to find out what the majority want and tailor your sales plan and web site to fit those expectations. You are also best placed to utilize chatbots when you have deduced your best visitor personas and are in experimentation mode, ready to gain and utilise even more analytics. Try different marketing channels, and audit different aspects of your sales conversion funnel, especially if your analytics look rough in one area. Test what works in reality, not just in theory.

And keep testing!

Climbing Conversion Rates 

It’s what we all strive for, and with a few adjustments to your processes, you will see that your time poring over statistics and analyzing data has been well spent. This is something that will need to be done regularly to keep the flow of savvy, focused-on-the-next-big -thing customers engaging with your site. After all, this is a process, a journey.

It is never static, and it is never done! Keep kicking those conversions!

Firm Foundations For Your Facebook Ads Strategy: How To Build A Solid Base, One Brick At A Time

Tips from Digital Marketing Experts

Just when you think that Facebook has been toppled from its social media top spot, a review of the actual reach and capacity of this mammoth of the social media world has everyone sitting up and considering how to maximize their ad strategies. 

Facebook has one of the world’s largest user base with 1.62 billion subscribers and 2.41 Billion Active Users in the second quarter of 2019. It is one of the most engaged, so why take a page from its playbook? After all with numbers this big, it is all about making the best use of them.

So take notes, get your ducks in a row, and your game plan sorted, because this juggernaut is here to stay, and you need to be on board. But don’t worry, we have all the tips to help get you sorted out with a solid Facebook Ads Strategy, so you can sit back, and watch your conversions soar.

Duo, Trio, Quad

The first consideration, and it’s a major one, is to keep Facebook and Instagram working in tandem because they are one-and-the-same behind-the-scenes–a fact is often forgotten–so keep this pair collaborating to your benefit.

Think, ‘integrated ads strategy’ with Instagram, Facebook, and all the other platforms out there. An omnichannel experience is what both you and your customer need. This is a bottom line, non-negotiable. Your marketing plan must be seamless and holistic.

Experiment with ‘Bots’

With Ad Bots becoming more sophisticated and normalized, now is the perfect time to experiment with computer-generated marketing. The tech itself is nothing to be afraid of, how it’s employed and with what tone, is the issue. ‘Engagement Baiting’ by fishing for swipes, taps, and reposts is right out in 2019. Instead, you want to develop long-term engagement–life-long customers who are much more likely to convert.

While you are in experimental mode, get creative, and then test everything. Send out an engaging, and meaningful post or blog to assess the interest. It’s much more cost-effective than a full-blown analytics campaign.

Video is King

Long Live Video. Businesses love Facebook Video Ads. Use it to drive conversions but ensure the focus is to empower your customer with a side order of Brand Integrity, and the development of trust. People are likely to buy from companies they have positively encountered on social media, so consider creating or developing your brand identity from an anchor or hero Video for maximum impact. 

Retargeting from long-form ad engagement video followed up with a ‘call-to-action’ via short video ad, post, email, tweet, etc, is much more likely to get a new convert. It is also easier to then expand the information to ‘lookalike’ audiences, speeding up the turnaround process and reducing costs.

Nano, Niche, and Micro

We are in the time of the nano- or micro-influencer. There has been a shift from celebrities delivering information to niche experts whom we can trust, people with whom we can identify. They are less distant, more relevant, and certainly more approachable. Align with one of them, and it is a short skip, and a jump, to getting the conversions.

Are You Responsive?

To say that you have a ‘Responsive Website’ which is not enough. You have to prove it. Multiple devices are here to stay, and your site must show all the fancy whistles and bells on each and every one. Ensure that every type of media will run efficiently on desktop, tablet, mobile, Android, and IOS. The last thing you want is a block to your customers’ conversion where they throw their hands up in disgust, and leave the site, never to return. 

Multiple Persona

Facebook can link you up with any demographic or niche you can imagine because it has so much info on all its users and the algorithms to sift it. Forget about an ‘app for that’, Facebook can help you find your niche group and target them through its persona-driven data. Think about maintaining diversified and comprehensive ads which target different personas, but don’t just make assumptions on who they are, get the stats and work from that.

Contextual Content (and lots of it)

Get creative with ‘life events targeting’. Facebook knows when the wedding is, or was. So consider how the market can drive itself by targeting upcoming anniversaries and events. Being narrow in focus can mean increased costs (CPMs) but being specific, relevant, and targeted means being able to tailor the marketing, increasing the chances of conversion. Staying broad offers a lower cost, a more ‘vanilla’ approach, and a reduced, individual appeal.

Looking For Love

Consider yourself to be looking for the customer that represents the real deal, full-blown, lifetime love–not some fly-by-night fling or disposable fad. Developing this relationship will increase their Lifetime Customer Value (LCV), and you’ll likely to get repeat conversions. You will also get the power of ‘word-of mouth’–if one friend has a good experience, then all the friends know about it–hey presto, warm leads.

Remember, 55 percent of people bought something Online After seeing it on social media, with Facebook and Instagram taking up the top spots for driving product discovery. You just cannot afford to ignore this duo.
