This may sound hyperbolic. However, for most prospects, your site plays a significant role in whether they decide to trust you with their property. This is why you need to take care that it looks and functions its very best! You want every click your visitors make to turn into a potential conversion.
If you haven’t already, it might be time to redesign your website; your website should be streamlined to do the majority of the heavy lifting for you. By the time a prospect calls you for more information, your website should have done 90% of the work when it comes to conversion! Here are a few pointers to help get you started:
By "conversion path," we mean:
Google Analytics is a great resource to investigate when it comes to whether you're successfully drawing in new clients. It can also provide some serious insight into how well visitors engage with your website. The aim is to get visitors to start on a conversion path and stick with it right through to the end. Even better, this is much simpler than it sounds!
Encouraging a visitor down the conversion path begins with offering the right content in the right places. For instance, ensure you're inviting potential leads to get in touch with you on your 'Contact Us' page. Another option that many companies are beginning to favor is the use of chatbots, which continue to advance at a steady pace.
It's also just as important to publish content that points readers back to your services. This is an ingenious way of encouraging prospects to complete your conversion path while making your brand stick!
When it comes to generating leads organically, inbound marketing is critical. What does that entail?
This category involves delighting your audience with the services and content they need—without interrupting their experience. When you create this level of content, you may even meet needs that your leads might not have yet known they had.

Of course, quantity alone won’t get the leads you want! As such, you'll need to audit your content to ensure that you're publishing engaging content. High-quality material:
If you’re manually handling several marketing strategies at once, there's a good chance you're wasting time on repetitive tasks. Utilizing marketing automation tools not only saves you time; they also (usually) help you analyze your leads. Most come with insightful analytics so you can observe when, where, and how you obtained a lead.
You'll also get a better feel for how far down the sales funnel they are. This makes it much easier for you to categorize your leads and split them into groups. You can then target each group with content that's tailored specifically to their needs with an automated campaign.
