How to make your website your best employee
As business owners managing income & expenses of your business is among the fundamentals of the job.
So why is it then many business owners neglect the investment of a good website which will do the job of many employees 24 hours, 7 days a week? A good website will become your best employee
The answer is most go for the cheapest option or fail to ensure the right things are being implemented
If you ask for a website with the average web designer you’ll get just that – a website. Basically an online brochure for your business. Most commonly I’ve seen clients come across from web designers who’ve designed them a beautiful website but left them with no idea how to edit the various sections of the website to update information, quickly leading to an out of date website as the business progresses, no website service package plan/content plan to make up for this

Marketing – meet blog posts & social media
Content marketing is one of the hottest marketing techniques in 2017. The idea and principle are simple, you’re an industry leader – people want to hear your thoughts on related subjects or what you’re selling. Your modern consumer has been swamped with adverts for so long that most just blank them out. This isn’t to say your blog posts should just sell, sell, sell, however. A golden ratio of 80% content – 20% sales related should ensure that traffic and active users continue to flock to your website. Which if it’s nicely laid out, should result in more sales & foot traffic anyway.
In addition, you can automate your posts, spend one day writing a bunch of posts (or hire someone else to do it for you – there are some seriously affordable options) then schedule them for the peak times your users are online. Our service plans will also analyse this for you! Finally, with automation, you can have these posts distributed on social media at the same time without having to log in or create any more posts. Neat eh?
Sales – meet eCommerce
Sales are the bottom line really, while your website is unlikely to replicate the high performer in your company who lives and breathes cold calling & closing – at least not for a while at least. It will give a considerable boost to your business done right and more importantly, help your sales team with interested customers – creating new opportunities & closing down the time needed for the finished deal.
How can your website do this?
- eCommerce – Actual sales generated purely on your brand and website. Analytics & advertising campaigns definitely help here, however, it’s more than possible to have a successful eCommerce website purely from organic traffic. You just need the right market and SEO. How do we know this? We’ve done it.
- Generate new leads with landing pages. Have a website landing page with tempting offers, the promise of a discount or just sell your product or service beautifully, with a form with contact information included and you’ve got a great shot at closing down a sale.
