Driving traffic visitors to websites requires time, effort, and money. If a huge majority of those visitors is not buying anything, it just increases the cost of operations without yielding any profit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By improving the conversion rate on your website \u2014 by encouraging more than 8 percent of traffic visitors to purchase \u2014 you can directly affect the bottom line of your business and increase profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few simple tips for improving the conversion rate on your website.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Website design<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The websites that have an excellent conversion rate are the ones with user-friendly and intuitive designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simplicity is another important factor that the <a href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigners.london\/website-design-development\/\">website design<\/a> must be based on. If the design is too cluttered, visitors would be easily distracted. A simple and minimalistic design also gives you more opportunities to highlight the primary call-to-action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at the following design example by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/basecamp.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basecamp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/conversion-blog.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12320\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/conversion-blog-1024x548.png\" alt=\"conversion-blog\" width=\"474\" height=\"254\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Navigation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The navigation of the website also plays a key role in guiding visitors to the call-to-action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the previous example, the primary CTA could simply be displayed above the fold. However, that isn\u2019t always the case \u2014 especially for e-commerce stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, a website \u2014 for example, an online clothing store \u2014 may have dozens or even hundreds of products to sell. Each product will require a separate landing page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the role of the website navigation structure to ensure that visitors are able to reach all the landing pages easily and quickly. An intuitive main menu, a robust internal linking structure, and a logical website structure are a few things that can help you improve the navigation system of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Copywriting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is unrealistic to expect a high conversion rate without good web copy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the design may hook visitors in, it is ultimately the text on your website that would convey the real benefits of a product or service and encourage them to complete the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few tips to follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use action verbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly state the benefits of your product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not just rely on features and technical jargon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay special attention to your headline.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brainstorm multiple headline options and then choose the best possible option.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aminstitute.com\/headline\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headline Analyzer tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to gauge the emotional marketing value.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>4. Fewer form fields<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to get tempted and use multiple form fields for gathering as much data as possible right away. However, it is not always a good strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea is to remove the barriers for potential barriers and make it as easy and simple as possible to complete the transaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even one additional form field may <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketingsherpa.com\/article\/case-study\/form-field-decrease-conversions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decrease the conversion rate by 11 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Use testimonials and social proof<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer testimonials are an essential part of online businesses. Verifiable testimonials increase credibility and make it easier for visitors to complete the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers crave social proof \u2014 especially if they are visiting your website for the first time. Moreover, 70 percent of consumers look at online reviews before they buy a service or product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/us\/en\/insights\/news\/2012\/trust-in-advertising--paid-owned-and-earned.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a study by Nielsen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 70 percent of people will trust a recommendation from a complete stranger, and 92 percent will trust a suggestion from a peer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By demonstrating credible social proof and independent validation from others, you can have a positive impact on the overall conversion rate of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Optimize the conversion funnel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, to maximize the conversion, rate you will need to optimize the conversion funnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different businesses may opt for a slightly different conversion funnel \u2014 depending on their niche and audience type. Generally, a conversion funnel usually has four stages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awareness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consideration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decision<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, you want everything on your website to work together in accordance with the conversion funnel. We recommend starting from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/2785577?hl=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">behavior flow report in Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to understand how your visitors engage with your website and its different pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have enough data, try to test different elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to make content \u201csticky\u201d and engaging to decrease the drop-off rate. Add fresh content, update information and old references, and include new images to make the pages more interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improving the website conversion rate is an excellent way to quickly increase revenue without spending more on paid ads or inflating operational costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the tips mentioned above and A\/B test different elements on your site to increase conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know that 92 percent of website visitors usually have no intention of purchasing anything?\u00a0 This is one of the reasons why so many website owners and marketers struggle with maintaining a profile return on investment (ROI).
