The Number 1 Secrets To Generate More Website Leads.

If you’ve been staring at your Google Analytics account and wondering why your traffic is not converting into leads or enquiries, you are certainly not alone.

It is one of the most common problems that business owners face and can sometimes be difficult for people to understand.

In this short blog post, we will give you some hints and tips on how to generate more website leads, even if your current traffic is low or if you’re in a super competitive industry.

Whether you’re a small or medium-sized business owner, a marketing manager or running a well-established e-commerce website these are some proven tactics that will help to turn traffic into leads or sales.

The first tip is you should start with the end in mind.

You should consider what your conversion goal is.

What do you want your Website visitors to do?

Is your offer compelling enough?

And is it clear what action they should take?

Some business owners are looking for potential customers or website visitors to complete a contact form, book a call, download an e-book or sign up for a newsletter but long story short, every single page should have a super clear and well-defined laser-focused goal.

The second tip is you should create a killer lead magnet.

Examples of high-converting lead magnets could include case studies, exclusive discounts, free e-books or guides, free templates or perhaps checklists or even access to a webinar.

Your lead magnet should address a pain point that your ideal customer is trying to solve.

By completing a form or providing their contact details, the website user has access to your lead magnet or access to exclusive content or offers/promotions.

Hot tip number three would be to optimise your landing page.

A weak lending page literally can kill your conversion rate and here’s how to help improve it with a few simple steps.

Integrate a simple form, always remember that fewer mandatory fields will always equal higher conversions.

Be sure to include a benefit-focused copy that really pushes your benefits and explains how the benefits can help your potential customers.

Include trust signals, for example, testimonials, case studies or accreditations.

Publish real customer reviews on your landing page, this can help to build trust with potential clients.

Make sure the headline really hooks people in.

Hot number four would be to use PPC ads to drive highly targeted traffic.

Search engine optimisation is great but if you are looking for fast lead generation then Google Ads, Meta Ads or Linkedin Ads are probably what you need right now.

These platforms and systems show ads to people actively searching for your products and services at just the right time, consider re-targeting which is where you can re-target website visitors who don’t convert the first time around and drive traffic specifically to your lead magnet or special offer/landing page.

Many Website owners make the fatal mistake of sending paid traffic directly to their homepage when it should in fact be sent to a conversion-optimised landing page tailored specifically to your campaign.

The next tip would be to make a really clear call to action.

Use action-orientated and super-clear headlines.

If you can, consider creating urgency, for example, – hurry offer ends on Friday or sign up today and save 20%.

Use clear calls to action throughout the website, across the top in the middle and the bottom of the pages.

Don’t just assume that Website visitors will scroll across the page they may not.

Consider implementing exit intent pop-ups. These are pop-ups that will trigger when a visitor’s cursor moves towards the tab.

Done in the right way you can recover before the visitor clicks off, timing really is everything.

Consider including a WhatsApp button for instant messaging or a chatbot.

With all of this in mind, you should then track, analyse and optimise constantly.

Google Analytics (GA4) is a great tool to measure and identify where and how traffic interacts with your landing page, but you can also look at third-party solutions including things like Hotjar or Clarity, which can include heat maps and even screen session recordings to help you better understand the traffic flows across the page.

Look at where traffic is dropping off, which sources convert best and how long visitors are staying on your landing page.

It isn’t just about traffic, it is about strategy.

You don’t necessarily need more traffic to get more leads, you simply need to be better at converting the traffic you already have into leads or customers.

Better and smarter messaging, with a targeted campaign and page that converts, can literally turn campaigns around and help you achieve your business goals.

We work with businesses in all sectors to generate more traffic, leads and enquiries.

As an example, we have been working with a client in the car in-van leasing space since 2016.

They are in the super competitive niche of short-term Car Leasing where getting ranked on page one had historically proved difficult for them.

They were generating traffic but were not generating as many leads as they had anticipated.

We created a bespoke Google ad campaign and undertook extensive keyword research in order to focus on the keywords that were more likely to convert.

Highly targeted traffic was driven directly to the landing page and within 2 to 3 months, our client had seen a 100% increase in their conversion rates.

We are still working with this client nine years down the line, and providing a combination of Google Ads and search engine optimisation services.

They have grown substantially as a business, in part due to their growth and digital marketing and lead generation.
