5 Ways to Increase your Website Traffic
Whether you’ve got a new website for your business or an older one, you want to send as many relevant users there as possible!
Building traffic to a website is much harder than it sounds, and 61% of marketers think it’s their biggest challenge!
1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
One of the first things that you should look at when finding ways to increase traffic to your website is to use Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
SEO is the practice of optimising your website’s content to increase the visibility of your website through organic searches (unpaid), helping you rank higher on Google search pages.
The things to consider: Keywords, Headings, Meta Description, Page speed and Landing Page Relevance.
The key thing to remember with SEO is that it won’t work overnight and is a long-term strategy, so patience is key!

2. Pay Per Click (PPC)
If you’re looking for a quicker way to increase traffic to your website, then PPC might be the strategy for you.
Whether you choose to advertise on Google or social media, advertising can give you the jump you need to reach new users much faster than using SEO, but it comes at a cost.
Before you jump into advertising online, make sure you look at which channel will work best for you, as each offers pros and cons.

3. Keep active on your social media
Using social media is a great way to help you increase your website traffic, but it is not as simple as you might think.
Creating a successful social media channel will take a huge amount of effort. Make sure you’re posting consistently with valuable and relevant content to help grow your channel, which will lead to people wanting to know more about you!

4. Keep them engaged through email
You shouldn’t just focus on trying to get new customers to your website, take a look at your past and present customers!
You can engage them by using email marketing to its full potential. Email marketing allows you to reach potential customers directly, and has one of the highest ROI, with a $36 return for every $1 spent!
It’s the perfect platform for creating long-lasting relationships that will increase customer loyalty. You can ask for feedback, launch soft sales, and persuade clients to make a large purchase!

5. Make sure your website is mobile-first optimised
Mobile-first is a term that has been around for some time now, but last year Google introduced its mobile-first index. Since the majority of users now access Google Search with a mobile device, Google primarily crawls and indexes pages with the smartphone agent going forward.
You can ensure that your site is optimised by speeding up your site, making sure your website is responsive and ensuring you have a clean code.
You can test if your website is mobile-friendly by using Google’s mobile-friendly test tool.
