How Does Your Website Stack-up

From start-ups to multinationals - websites are requisite. The all important link between the 'business' and the world. Websites are as varied as the businesses they represent - some are very nicely constructed, while others are poorly conceived and displayed.  How does yours stack-up?



Websites are portals for the world to look through and be informed as to the Why, What, and How of the business. In addition, they must be engaging, customer-centric marketing and sales vehicles. Following are some issues/questions developed by 4M Performance that you can use to compare your site against the norm.
  •  Putting up a static website does nothing for the business - it must be active. 
  •  Companies running online marketing campaigns get 4X more traffic and 6X more leads.
  •  The most clicked-on pages are 'About' and 'Contact'. 
  •  Look closely at your Conversion Rate. What is your site's ratio of contact form submissions   vs. site visits. Hopefully it is in the 2% or higher range.
  •  How hard is it NOT to submit a lead form?  Make sure your contact page is appealing by:          - Putting it on the Home page                                                                                                          - Putting it on VERY page                                                                                                              - Attach a compelling offer to it         
  •   Get more 'qualified' leads. At 100 site visits per month you can expect 1-3 leads. With 600 -      1,000 visits you'll get a healthy flow of leads and a higher conversion rate.
  •   Focus on the pages that get the most traffic. Review your site's stats. Note which pages get        the most visits and make sure lead/contact buttons are on these pages along with compelling      offers.

 A website must be viewed as part of the business' larger branding and marketing effort. A great site needs to be marketed (consumers must find it) and marketing needs an amazing site.
