If you want to improve online business, you should begin with optimizing your site. Study your analytics to see what works, test to see what might work better, and then apply your findings to targeted search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns.
1. Build your marketing funnel in Google Analytics.
Google lets you create goals on your account that record when visitors complete certain activities, like signing up for your email list or viewing a product page. If you establish goals that track customer movement through the sales process, you will learn where you lose customers.
There should be no debate regarding the necessity of having an online presence, even if you don’t actually transact business online. With over 300 million daily searches on the major search engines just in the United States, the “online necessity” is clear. Unfortunately, while building a website is a relatively straight forward process, making your presence stand out among millions of competing websites, domestically and worldwide, represents a serious competitive marketing challenge.
