Is Your Current Website Helping or Hurting Your Conversion Rates<\/span><\/span>?<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, the answer to our problems are staring right at us. This is the same case for your website and online business.<\/p>\n

Conversion rate<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>optimization<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> (CRO<\/span><\/span>) can be as simple as analyzing all aspects of your business and identifying the roadblocks responsible for causing your visitors to drop off.<\/p>\n

Take, for instance, a lead-generation page that attracts substantial traffic from search engines<\/span><\/span>, social media<\/span><\/span>, and other channels, but struggles with low sign-up rates. In such cases, the culprits might be your forms, calls to action<\/span><\/span>, or even the landing page<\/span><\/span> copy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, consider when customers visit a specific product page<\/span><\/span>, but leave without purchasing. The problem could be your product description<\/span><\/span>, pricing, or checkout process<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the problem isn\u2019t with your page content at all. Overlooking mobile responsiveness<\/span><\/span> can alienate a big portion of your audience who then find your site difficult to navigate on their phones.<\/p>\n

As experienced marketers, we know how to identify these problems in minutes. But it might not be as easy for you, and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve created this guide.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Breakdown the Most Common <\/span><\/span>Conversion Killers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> on a Website:<\/h2>\n

Most of the conversion killers<\/span><\/span> in this list can be boiled down to simple design or marketing errors \u2014 which means they\u2019re easy to solve.<\/p>\n

Read through this guide to learn how to avoid (or fix) these common mistakes<\/span><\/span> and increase conversions<\/span><\/span> today.<\/p>\n

1. Poor Website Design<\/span><\/span> and User Experience<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Your website\u2019s design is the first impression a site visitor gets of your brand. If your website is poorly designed, it can negatively affect your credibility.<\/p>\n

Confusing, overcrowded menus and a lack of a search bar in your header will frustrate your website visitors<\/span><\/span>, causing them to drop off without interacting with your site content.<\/p>\n

That means higher bounce rates<\/span><\/span>, fewer sign-ups and even fewer sales.<\/p>\n

Solution: Use the right tools to build your website<\/h4>\n

Your site\u2019s design depends on the theme and page-building tools<\/a> you use to create it. We recommend using a theme builder to design your website\u2019s structure and customize it with a page-building plugin.<\/p>\n

Look for tools that provide customizable templates<\/span><\/span> so you don\u2019t get bogged down in trying to design your website from scratch.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Slow <\/span><\/span>Loading Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

A slow-loading website is the fastest way to lose potential customers<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

If people have to wait more than 3 to 5 seconds for your landing pages<\/span><\/span> (or other web pages<\/span><\/span>) to load, they\u2019ll leave your site without interacting.<\/p>\n
