Website Assessment

Have you recently invested a significant amount of time and money launching a new website that isn't generating leads for your company? If your answer is yes, you are not alone.

Most websites are not designed to generate leads, but rather showcase the products and services offered by the company. 

The good news is this can be relatively easy to correct. We analyze several aspects of your website and provide recommendations on how your website can be working hard generating leads for your company.

Project Deliverables Include:

  • Content Review: Does your website provide helpful information at all three stages of the buyer's journey?
  • Conversion Opportunities: What conversion opportunities or calls-to-action (CTAs) exist and where new CTA should be placed.
  • Site Navigation: How easy is it for visitors to find the information they are looking for? We evaluate how your menus are set up along with links to both internal and external pages.
  • Performance: The performance of your website is crucial to increasing traffic, improving conversion rates, generating leads and revenue.
  • Mobile readiness: With traffic from mobile devices increasing, your website should be optimized for mobile. We review your website to grade how mobile-friendly your site is.
  • SEO: Your site has to be easy to find by interested buyers. We assess your website to determine how easy your site is to discover via search bots by grading page titles, meta descriptions and other data.
  • Security: Having an SSL certificate protects your website from attacks and provides your visitors with the confidence that your site is authentic. Visitors to your site may feel safer to enter their contact information.

Our blog post "3 Reasons Your New Website Isn't Generating Leads" has more details on how companies can not only increase traffic to their website but generate leads from interested buyers.
