Is your website failing to generate the leads you expected? Here are three common reasons and some things you can do to work towards those new leads!

You Haven't Been Using SEO to Optimize Your Site

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is essential for improving your website's visibility and attracting organic traffic. Start with keyword research related to your industry, products, or services. Think about the type of travel you specialize in, for example, if you are a specialist in Tahiti then words like “Bure” and “Overwater Bungalow” will be helpful. It can be helpful to start jotting all of the unique things about your specialty down on a blank document, you might find some great ideas to use as starting points when researching keywords through SEO tools.

Using SEO tools, find terms and phrases that potential customers will likely search for when looking for businesses like yours. Integrate these keywords into your website's content, headings, meta descriptions, and image alt tags. Be sure to keep your language natural though, in addition to the SEO boost you want to make sure your text is still interesting for visitors to read.

Moreover, optimizing website speed and ensuring mobile-friendliness are essential to effective SEO. Search engines, like Google, look for the best user experience, so a fast-loading, mobile-friendly site is more likely to rank higher in results. Additionally, focus on building high-quality backlinks from reputable websites within your industry to increase your site's authority and credibility.

You Don't Have a Clear Call to Action

A clear call to action (CTA) makes people more likely to do what you're asking, whether it's signing up for your newsletter or making a purchase. Without a compelling CTA, customers may leave your site after initially looking, resulting in lost opportunities for that lead.

Ensure that your CTAs are short, persuasive, and prominently displayed on multiple web pages of your website. CTAs like "Request a free consultation" or "Start your journey today" can push customers to engage with your business. By making your CTAs visible and compelling, you encourage visitors to take the next step in their customer journey.

You Haven't Been Updating Your Site Regularly

A stagnant website can sometimes deter visitors and hinder lead generation. Regularly updating your site with fresh and relevant content is vital for keeping visitors engaged and attracting new leads. Consider adding recent reviews from satisfied customers, showcasing successful projects or achievements, or sharing informative blog posts that address your specialties.

Demonstrating that your website is maintained allows for confidence in your service and improves your search engine ranking. Additionally, updating your website's content signals to search engines that your site is relevant and robust, increasing its visibility in search results.

Once a quarter, check your website to ensure that you don’t have mentions for things like: Group trips that have already taken place, an old address or phone number, outdated photos.

 A tool that you could use to further help with updating your site within the Passport Online offerings is our Content API tool.
