So you have seen an increase in your website traffic but you haven’t seen an increase in your sales?
This is something I speak to my clients about frequently; the power of engaged traffic over large volumes of traffic is powerful & something you need to be
So often in life we believe more is better, we put all of our efforts into increasing our website traffic and wait for an increase in sales, but the conversions just don’t come. We start to think that our efforts aren’t right and become frustrated with our websites.
How Can You Fix The Problem?
It’s so simple; ensure your marketing is niche enough & targeted to a really specific demographic.
By selecting 3 clearly defined customer segments and ensuring that your content & website are tailored to these you remove unwanted traffic and create a website that nurtures those who are really invested in your services.
At Huga we provide our clients with Customer Personas & Customer Journey Maps to help them visualise this process & to have materials they can use each time they create content to ensure it is targeted and reaching the people they really want to help.

Link Your Content to Provide Even Further Help
Linking content is a great way for you to provide your customers with further meaningful information. You don’t just have to link to content on your website – linking to relevant useful information on another site is also beneficial. This gives the customer what they are looking for, it ads trust and expertise to your business, and is helpful. Just ensure when you are adding the link to another site that it opens in a new tab, so the tab for your site also remains open.
