Inbound links

Share your site and landing pages on social media, in forums or articles, advertisements, and public listings. These inbound links to your site tell Google that your website is credible and sought-after. And make sure the content those links lead to is what people expect to get.

Did you know that 55% of visitors spend less than 15 seconds on a website? First

impressions are huge, and studies have shown that the first 10 seconds are crucial for

your visitors’ decision to stay or go. So here are eight specific questions every visitor

wants answered in 10 seconds.

1. What are you selling?

The instant they land on your website, this should be

abundantly clear, and there should be absolutely no

guesswork involved. Make sure you have a prominent

headline explaining who you are and what your product/service

is.

2. Why should I care?

How will it improve their lives and solve whatever pain points

they’re experiencing? In other words, what’s in it for them and

why should they care? This is where you need to communicate

your value proposition, which basically means why they

should do business with you. Keep it short, sweet, and

concise.

3. What does it cost?

Now that they know who you are and what your service is,

they want to know how much it costs. This doesn't mean that

you have to slap the price on your homepage. But it should be

found easily with one click.

4. What differentiates your brand from others?

This is tricky as we are in a very small, saturated industry

seeking the attention of a finite demographic. That’s why it’s

important to quickly differentiate yourself from other

competitors and establish a unique brand identity.

Make the navigation intuitive and make sure you get visitors

to where they want in seconds. The key with navigation is to

keep it as simple as possible so that visitors can move

seamlessly through your site without spending too much

mental energy.

they spend their money on it. They best way to do that is

a visually appealing design, high-quality images, videos,

etc.

8. How can I contact you?

Include a “Contact” section in a conspicuous area that

requires very little effort to find. Do not place it all the

way at the bottom “beneath the fold” (below the first

screen view). Instead, place it in plain sight above the

fold. You may even want to include a chat box that

automatically pops up.
