Web Site Strategies that Work!!
Have you taken a good look at your Web site strategy
recently?
Here are some key questions to help you maximize it's
effectiveness.
How
effective
are your current strategies and content?
- Are there clear and measureable business goals and
outcomes
behind your Web site, and
for each major page or section? How will you evaluate your
success?
- Have you defined all the target audiences for the
site, and
the "languages"
they speak? Do you have compelling benefit statements,
testimonials, case
studies?
- Does your home page appeal to each of your target
markets
and audiences? Does
it effectively direct them to appropriate areas of your
site?
- How compelling are the "calls to action" on
each
page? Is it easy to interact with you?
How can
you
take your online business to the next level?
- Is your site making the best use of available
technologies? How will you stay
on top of online developments in your field? Are all
appropriate staff involved?
- Does your content effectively position the expertise of
your business? Are
there media or public relations outlets that you could tap
for
wider promotion?
- Are you taking full advantage of "real-world"
opportunities to promote your
site?
- Does your business offer other services or customer
support functions that
you could provide online? Are there further efficiencies
that
you could achieve?
- Review your contact databases and your use of e-mail to
support your
marketing. Do you have clear opt-in and privacy policies?
Do you
regularly review your Web traffic reports?
- Are there any obvious patterns in your traffic, or the
paths your visitors
follow that you could capitalize on, or need to change?
- What are the top exit points from your site? Where are
you
losing
conversions?
- Which external sites link to you? Are these appropriate?
Are you generating
sufficient return on investment for paid online advertising?
- Do the search phrases for your site suggest ideas for
new
areas of business
development?
