Strategy 3 – Make sure you have a compelling call-to-action in the right locations.
Having an effective on-site search function and a compelling call-to-action can help maximize ROI for a website. Call Epic Web Results to maximize the ROI for your website.
It’s not enough to have a good design and quality content on your website if people don’t know what to do (or what you would like them to do) in order to take action. In other words, if your site has a weak call-to-action (CTA), if the CTA is not in the proper places or if here is no CTA whatsoever, you ARE losing new leads and potential new business.
To truly maximize ROI for your site, you need an engaging, concise and clear call-to-action that specifically:
- Tells people what to do next
- Provides your business’ contact info (phone number and/or email)
- Possibly provides extra incentive (whether that’s a free consultation, free shipping, etc.).
In many cases, it will be critical to have this CTA appear at least once on almost every page of your website. Here, it’s important to point out that, to maximize ROI with an effective CTA, slightly altering the CTA from page to page can be helpful (so that people don’t start ignoring it and/or seeing it as white noise).
Strategy 4 – Consider developing a high-quality on-site search function.
You may not think that having a search function on your website is important, but researchers at Google have found otherwise. In fact, according to a recent study published by Google:
- Whether a website has a search function is a pivotal factor in determining whether people will stay on a website longer and eventually respond to the call-to-action.
- When people aren’t able to find what they are looking for via the navigation on a website, more than 50 percent of people turn to the site’s search function.
- Despite this user reliance on site search functions, about 85 percent of all site searches do NOT yield relevant results, with more than 22 percent of these searches yielding no results at all.
- When websites lack effective search functions, approximately 80 percent of users will leave the website and will likely not return to it again.
What all of this boils down to is that bolstering a simple, direct navigation for your website with an effective site search function can end up maximizing the ROI for your website in that it can:
- Keep people on your site longer
- Help people find what they are looking for on your site
- Increase the likelihood that people will respond to your call-to-action
- Ultimately increase the number of new leads and clients your business obtains from its Internet marketing investments.
