Course Description
Getting traffic to your website is only half the battle. If your website has a poor user experience or the inability to convert your visitors into customers, you need to shift focus to Conversion Rate Optimization. Too often, businesses think it’s a top-line problem and the solution is to pump more money into paid advertising to drive more visits. That is not the solution. In fact, you can spend less money and convert more customers with an improved conversion rate.
What You Will Learn
The average aggregate website conversion rate (varies by industry) is 4%. This means you are essentially leaving money on the table with 96% of your website traffic – traffic you worked hard to get via organic search and SEO, or even worse, traffic you PAID FOR in PPC or paid social campaigns. There are simple copy tweaks as well as DO’s and DON’ts when it comes to your homepage and landing pages, product descriptions, as well as customer service statements and promises. Leverage emotional vs logical copy. Avoid “WE” and focus on “YOU”, the customer. Understand and develop the path of least resistance for your business.
