These are extraordinary times.
Being in business is often about adapting to adversity. Coping with the unexpected. And challenges our ability to adapt. To change.
We’re hearing that Google Ads are getting more expensive, as businesses are piling into paid search, to offset face-to-face meetings. Last week, we did our highest ever number of Search Engine Optimization site audits. One thing is certain, people will be spending more time online in the coming weeks.
Your online presence can be your savior throughout the uncertain times ahead.
Ask yourself
- Can you update your website easily?
- Can you order your products and services online?
- Is your website easy to find?
Update your website
Clarity is sanity. People can handle a pandemic, but they’ll lose their ship if they’re kept in the dark. Keep everyone informed by publishing key messages on your website.
Tell people you’re open for business, have temporarily relocated or changed opening hours. What products and services are still available and how? Let customers know how to get in touch.
Situations change rapidly. You might need to update your website quickly. All our sites come with a Content Management System (Or “CMS”) built-in. Easily edit information yourself, instantly. Without needing special software or a degree in computer programming.
Work out your online game
Buying in bulk. Hoarding. Supermarket shortages. People staying indoors. No wonder online shopping is growing so fast. Even if you don’t sell toilet paper, are you getting your share of online sales?
eCommerce site
Keep the trade routes open to more customers with an eCommerce site. It might cost less than you expect to get started.
Information
If information is your bag, load your website with videos, guides, and downloads that help your audience, all the while growing your database and positioning your brand.
Setting Appointments
Wouldn’t it be better right now if your website synched with your calendar or booking system? So, customers see live availability. How many more video chats or scheduled phone calls could you arrange with the time saved on traveling?
Security
Every website which processes transactions or stores data needs an SSL security certificate (the little padlock in the browser). We’re here to help.
Improve online visibility
More than ever, people will be searching for stuff online. Videos to watch, things to read, new skills to learn, ideas to do, stuff to make, products to buy. And right now, they’re looking for you. Or at least, people like you.
Who will they find? Will it be you?
In addition to Google rewriting their magic formula, the world has changed. Your business has no doubt evolved too. Markets move, behaviors change, competitors adapt. SEO is an ongoing activity that improves user experience, relevance, and authority amidst all these changes.
Don’t self-isolate your website. Get found. Use search engine optimization to climb the ranks and pull in the crowds.
