There are few moments more frustrating for a marketer than when you put in the work to create great content - but you just don’t see the results you’re looking for. You’ve done your research, you’ve ticked all the boxes, but you’re still not getting the website views or sales conversions you’re after. So what’s going wrong?
A problem with some businesses we see is that they’ve not kept up their website maintenance to make it sufficiently visible to online users, or to retain them once they’re on the site. As anyone who’s glumly looked at their home-page bounce rate before will tell you, it doesn’t take a lot to put users off. Whether it’s an awkward colour scheme, messy SEO work, or too much text - you’ve got to make sure nothing sabotages that first impression.
With that in mind, this week’s #ContentCatchup focuses on how you can fix these website woes and give your traffic the boost it needs...
