If your online business or web presence is a small business or sits in a small niche market, how visible is it and if it is visible to a wide audience does it appeal to visitors when they arrive there? Visitors arriving at a website after making an online search using any one of a number of search engines want to see an aesthetically pleasing website as well as the products and/or services they have been searching for; gone are the days when a few flashing lines of text and garish images were sufficient to lure in a visitor and entice them to look around further.
The landing page is the first place your web visitors will see and it has to be of a design which not only complements the products or services being sold, but also needs to have content (text) which is interesting, engaging and perhaps a little educational; after all, if the webpage describes or explains a product, market or service with authority and clarity it instills into the visitor your obvious attention to detail and knowledge of your chosen market.
However, getting visitors and directing them to a website is an art form and takes a certain amount of knowledge about how the algorithms which search engines rank websites based on links, back links, keyword rich content and of course what is contained within the metatags works. The balance has to be kept but of course as search terms evolve and the website changes as and when new content is added and older content is archived, continual research and action has to be implemented in order to maintain a positive ranking.
Directing visitor traffic to a website by way of a proactive search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) strategy is essential to creating a successful business and of course a sustainable web business; websites which are set up to sell niche products and/or specialist products are especially vulnerable to falling by the wayside and disappearing among the millions of small business websites currently in operation.
Get the entire package right and your small business web presence will see an increase in visitor traffic which will result in positive increases in sales, revenues and ultimately bigger profits; who knows, perhaps your small business is on the verge of rapidly turning into a large website business.
