QUOTES:
“A conversion rate would be, if I get a hundred visitors to my website, how many leads do I get? If you get five leads, that would be five percent.”
“People like to do business with people they know right? And so adding some authenticity and some personality to the site would be one way to improve.”
“I like to see search engine traffic as the biggest number and so one of the things that we really look at is how many visitors are you getting from the search engines today versus a year ago.”
“Make sure you’re tracking not only the leads, but tracking the visitors and then we can get the conversion rate and increase the rate to get your website to be a lead generation machine and it’s possible and doable, it’s the goal.”
“There’s thousands of online directories out there where you can submit your business to, the biggest thing with doing that is making sure your name, address and phone number and your website are all consistent on all of those directories.”
