How to Increase Your Website's Effectiveness

By Jonathan X. Livingsworth


Your products and services may be top notch, but no one will know if your website content doesn't convey this message to users. Don't make the mistake of relying solely on products and services to attract new customers - it simply will not work! Start incorporating new engaging content to attract more people, increase traffic and click-through, and communicate your brand effectively.

So, what is high quality content exactly? There are many great ways to add engaging content to your site and you will need to find out which ones work best for you. The following examples are all good ways to get started:

Use Infographics

Like most people today, buyers want to receive product information as quickly and effectively as possible. There is no better way to do this than through the use of an infographic. These graphics let you tell your story in a unique and engaging way without forcing your audience to read through countless pages of information. They are also great for using on social media sites, where they will increase brand awareness, one share at a time.

Include a Blog

Many sites still don't offer a blog, even though it is the simplest way to interact and engage with customers. Blogs add a human touch to your site and make people feel like they know the employees behind the brand a little better. Just make sure that you post regularly to keep the site current.

Offer Tips and How-To's

Helpful guides and tips are always welcomed by users, especially when it offers expert advice to help their business grow. These types of articles show that you truly care for your buyers and want them to succeed. The added content is also easy to share and will drive more traffic thanks to the additional keywords.

Provide Downloadable Content

Many businesses need a way to provide more complex information on their websites, without over-complicating their existing pages. Because blog posts and articles are better suited for things like how-tos and tips, providing downloadable whitepages and case studies is the best way to offer this kind of info to your users. If they are professionally written and presented in compelling ways, your prospects and customers will want to keep them as a valuable resource. They will probably even be willing to exchange contact info for the download, and increase your number of leads in the process.
