Everything should work
Relevancy
When somebody clicks on your ad and then goes to your site for the first time, this page should immediately reflect what service you are providing or what product you are selling. The headlines and images should be highly relevant. For example, see above. For acne scarring treatments, this should be mentioned in the headline, complemented with an image showing the treatment or with a before-and-after image. It seems obvious, but relevancy is often overlooked.
Focus on your USPs
Regularly, remind your potential customer why you are the best in the industry and why you are better than your competitor. Champion your offer price, the awards that you have worked so hard to win, the businesses you have worked with, your multiple locations, the free delivery you offer and the quality of your product/service. The best practice is, the more specific your USP (unique selling point) is, the better. So instead of mentioning “high-quality service”, specifically mention “voted best UK tutors 2020”. Check out our USPs for The Cosmetic Skin Clinic.
Industry
The look and feel of your site should reflect your business. When you are a luxurious aesthetic clinic situated in the higher price range, your website should reflect that and so should your offering. You need to justify your prices in the consumers' eyes. The quality of your images whether that's before and afters or product images, should reflect your brand.
Testimonials
Building credibility and trust are extremely important. You need to add as many positive and real customer testimonials as possible. To have more control over it, you can add them manually to your website. It's very powerful to use a 3rd party review company like Trustpilot or Checkatrade as well. These are recognised and independently reviewed.
User Experience
Your website must be mobile-first in its design. It is essential to make navigation on your website as intuitive as possible, so the visitors can quickly find what they want. Your website navigation structure should also allow someone to land on any page on your site and be able to convert. Consider what visitors might want to do on your site. This could be contacting you (“Contact us” or a form on each page), finding your products or finding more about the company (“About us”). Keep it clear and simple and categorise everything intuitively in the navigation bar on the top of your site.
KMG Smartchat
With Smartchat you can help facilitate visitors when they require more information. It can not only boost your sales but it can also help you understand your visitor’s behaviour on your website. It is a 24/7 global, managed chat service. It is proven to boost a websites conversion rate by up to 40%.
Stay up-to-date and test drive
Delete that award you won in 2011 and replace it with the award you have just won. Same goes for the 200 companies you have worked with (it’s already 300 now!). Get an objective and candid opinion on your website. Make your friends and family test all the functionality and processes and give you feedback. Amazon and Asos win because of the ease of their navigation. Their processes are tried, tested and EASY.
