Table Of Content

Let’s see how!

 

1. Get a Great Landing Page

You have the visitor! So, your SEO worked well, Congrats! It’s now the landing page which is the entrance to your website. Definitely, it has to be good enough to make the visitor stay and in fact, get along rest of the pages too. A strong and catchy heading, attention-grabbing high-definition picture, an engaging content and a call-to-action prompt can definitely get you conversions. 

2. Navigate the Visitor, for He’s New!

Now that you have got enough attention of the visitor, make sure he is well navigated through your other webpages without getting lost or stuck anywhere, any moment. Imagine yourself left abandoned in a new city, you dropped by for something. You would want to take a quick route to escape from there, won’t you! Getting lost on a page leads to higher bounce rate. Also, make sure, your website has the ‘Search’ feature which enables the visitor to make a direct choice and get to the page that is desired. 

3. Place Impressive Call-to-Action (CTA) Buttons Wherever Possible

A nicely designed call-to-action button that is not pushy but striking, is what makes the person feel the sense of genuineness in the content and click on it. The page visited as result of CTA has to be very well designed so that at any point of time the visitor does not regret his decision of clicking on the CTA and leave. All the CTAs have to be well linked. They play a big role in getting the conversions. 

4. Work on the Loading Speed of Your Page

Whether it is homepage, landing page or any other page, all the pages have to be really light enough to get flipped by the visitor. It is just a matter of seconds and the visitor shuns down the page, only to pick another from a maddening crowd of alternative sources. 

Remember, it takes just 8 seconds for the user to exit the site! You hardly get enough time to impress them. So, optimize each and every image on web-pages and keep upgrading your website to latest PHP versions so that loading speed is not the cause of bounce rate. 

5. Include Videos Wherever Possible

Talk of visuals and characters, visuals will catch almost all eyeballs. Now if you compare between static images and moving one….You know the answer! 

A concept is 75% better understood through videos, as compared to simple images. Even a few-minute video can engage and convince the customer better than any picture advert. You can opt for video production services to have some really nice and engaging videos on your website.
