What's All the Fuss About Website Conversion?
Overview
A website should be a valuable asset to any company, offering a return on investment (ROI). This ROI must be immediate and measurable, demonstrating how the website contributes to business growth. This leads us to the concept of conversion.
Understanding Conversion
When consulting with businesses about their website strategies, I often ask, "Why did you create your site?" Common responses include: "Our competitors have one," "Customers were asking for our web address," or "To get our name out there."
Some companies aim to use their website for branding or to share information with potential clients, seeing one-way communication as a goal. However, I believe this misses the mark. Using a website merely to share information is like using an airplane to taxi around town without taking off?"it's not utilizing its full potential to generate leads and sales.
A website must provide a tangible ROI, which means tracking its impact on your business over time. Enter the concept of conversion.
Defining Conversion
For any business website, there are three primary goals:
- Generating leads
- Selling products via e-commerce
- Generating referrals
These actions translate into actual revenue, providing a clear ROI. When visitors take these actions, it's called a conversion?"turning visitors into leads and customers.
Secondary goals might include:
- Building credibility
- Supporting existing customers
- Recruiting partners or affiliates (a primary goal if your business is affiliate-based)
These secondary goals are worthwhile, but a company website should strive for more impactful objectives.
How Conversion Supports Site Development and Management
Deciding to focus on conversion is empowering. It helps determine what features should be included on your site, reducing the politics of web development. Essentially, you design your site with end goals in mind, building content around these objectives, which minimizes disagreements.
Setting clear conversion goals also enables you to measure your site's effectiveness once it's live. This is crucial because if you can't assess performance, improving it becomes challenging. Measurement and improvement are key to achieving the ROI you desire.
Tips for Boosting Conversion Rates
1. Provide Clear Direction
To engage interest in a product or service, structure your website to guide visitors logically through information, rather than overwhelming them with options. Limit links on each page, and offer clear guidance on the next step you want visitors to take.
2. Exchange Value for Value
For lead generation, collect visitor information in exchange for something valuable, like free trials or product demos. The exchange should have high perceived value for the visitor, low cost for you, and require minimal commitment. Don't ask for too much information?"keep it essential.
3. Keep Improving
After launching your site, the work continues! Monitor your results closely. Set a baseline and make adjustments to improve conversion rates. Allow enough time for changes to take effect, especially if your website has low traffic. Testing might need to run for a month or longer for conclusive results.
By focusing on these strategies, you can enhance your website's ability to convert visitors into tangible business results.
