There is always some new widget or service being offered to up your online marketing game. But, does your site need that thing or could you use something else to attract more business online?

If you aren’t sure if you need to refresh your website, check out Part 1 of this blog: 4 Dead Giveaways that It’s Time to Update Your Website. Then come back here to find out how Harmonia Media can help you get the job done within your timeframe – on your budget!

to Find Out If Your Website Needs an Update!

What’s new today might be old tomorrow. 

And certainly what was slick and new last year can look outdated–and scare prospects away–today!

Don’t panic. You don’t need to throw everything at the wall to see if it sticks. You just need to be sure that your online brand is accessible and user friendly.

Perhaps you have heard the term “UX?” 

UX means user experience. You want every user to be able to easily navigate your website, get the answers to the questions they seek and be pulled like a magnet to your “buy now” button.

When it’s done well, the UX turns tire kickers into buyers. If a user’s experience on your website creates confusion or frustration, you are likely sending customers away to shop the competition.

Begin at the Beginning

Get a FREE in depth website audit to find out what aspects of your website need help from a technology perspective. If your website looks wonky on mobile devices, you are most certainly losing business. Are your call-to-action buttons attractive and do they get prospective customers to click? No? It’s time for some digital marketing love.

These are important things to check from the start:

1. Is your content readable and up-to-date?
2. Are you in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act?
3. How does your analytics report look? This will tell volumes about the back end of your site and what needs to be upgraded.
4. Is your navigation modern-looking?
5. What does your competitive analysis look like?
6. Is your Search Engine Optimization updated?
7. The list goes on and on…

Next Steps…

You know there is some housekeeping that needs to get done on the back end. We suggest you focus on your core business and customers and hire Harmonia Media to take care of those things.

But before anything else, you should take a good, hard look at your website. Do you even like it anymore? You loved it (or maybe not!) when you launched it years ago. But times change. Best practices change. Tastes change. Perhaps that brown/gold combo you chose then looks hideous to you now. We can change it!

So look at it from a web visitor’s point of view and consider the following:

Design: This means we look at colors, templates used for the entire site, call to action buttons and navigation. There is so much that goes into design as it relates to “user experience.” When you are re-doing your website, take these points into consideration and make sure your updated website reflects modern best practices and your brand personality.

Content: If people can’t understand your website messaging, what’s the point? Both users and Google demand easy-to-understand and easy to find information. If people have to read a paragraph twice…they will bounce.

Make sure your content answers their questions and helps alleviate their pain or overcome their challenges. Bad content makes an out-of-date website even worse!

SEO: If your website is your online home, SEO (search engine optimization) is the roadmap to get there. If your SEO isn’t set up correctly, updated and managed frequently, or doesn’t go head-to-head with your direct competition, then people will not find you.

If they don’t find your website…cue the dismal music…no sales for you. Further, great SEO allows Google to return your company higher in search rankings and, in turn, people find you easier!

I know. I know what you are thinking. “We just re-did our website and marketing materials five years ago! It cost time and a lot of money. Why do we need to go through that again?”

Maybe you do. Maybe you don’t–at least, not yet. But let’s take a closer look. At Harmonia Media, a boutique, client-centric digital marketing firm, we don’t believe in fixing things that aren’t broken and we don’t charge for work we don’t perform or, worse, that didn’t need to be done in the first place!

to Find Out If Your Website Needs an Update!

First things first. When you truly need a website refresh, you don’t have a real choice. If you don’t “get with the times,” your customers will be passing you by and buying from your competition. No one will spend money with a company that isn’t putting its best foot forward.

And, make no mistake about it: online, your website is your “home.” You want people to visit and stay a while. Chasing them away isn’t going to increase sales.

Secondly, you already know how fast the digital world works. What’s new today will be outdated by next week. (In some cases, sooner!) How often does a new model of the iPhone get released? Exactly.

So, it’s time for a website refresh if you say “yes” to any of these things:

1. Your website looks outdated. The design looks like the equivalent of a puffy shouldered jacket from 1984. Your logo is too big or too small on the page. Your design incorporates colors that were fashionable 10 years ago. The site doesn’t show up correctly on mobile. Things are buzzing or flashing around. Maybe you just aren’t in love with what is now an old site anymore.

A brand refresh will help modernize not only your site but your public persona. Harmonia Media can help you take what’s old and make it brand new again!

2. Your website is confusing and difficult to navigate. Times have changed. Navigation menu designs are very different nowadays than even a year ago. This goes back to user experience. People don’t have the time or patience to do a deep dive to find your contact information on your website. They want answers to questions and they are searching for FAQs. They want to read reviews and your site doesn’t have any.

Harmonia Media can help you update your brand identity online so that customers who find your website are confident enough to take action.

3. You’ve changed your business model/products/services offered and your website doesn’t reflect the changes. This happens all the time! Companies evolve and grow with the times. The product featured on your homepage is no longer your top seller. But your new flagship product is buried on the site and not easy to find!

This obviously needs to be fixed. Some simple page redesigns may do the trick. Harmonia Media has plenty of tricks in its bag to spotlight specific offerings to you current clients and prospects.

4. Content: it’s horrible, there’s not enough or there’s too much. If your content is not on point, you won’t attract and retain a website visitor’s attention. Nobody has time to try to decipher bad content. People are looking for information or to buy something NOW. If you confuse them with jargon or poorly written copy, your website will do the opposite of what you created it to do. And your competitors will thank you!

Harmonia Media will supply you with content that not only provides excellent UX but that attracts “Google Juice” and helps your site appear higher in web search results. (Google LOVES high quality content.)

Honestly, take a look at your website. Would you buy from your company? Or would you bounce and click to look elsewhere?

Finally, don’t get overwhelmed. It’s important to note that you don’t have to take on the entire rebranding process all at once. You can bite off chunks to make the budget spend more palatable.

Another option, if you like your current website but want to try something new with your brand, Harmonia Media can introduce you to some new strategies that will build business. Perhaps we can redirect attention toward a user friendly and welcoming email campaign that puts your company top of mind for customers–only and new. (Think: get people to look at the new lamp and not the old carpet!)

Ranking well is a science and an art and there are many reasons you may be falling short in achieving those highly coveted rankings. Make no mistake about it: it matters what Google thinks.

Columnist Eric Enge explains how Google makes the ultimate determination when it comes to relevance. “Just because you create webpages targeting a certain keyword phrase or in a specific topic area does not mean you will rank for those terms.

Enge says using relatable scenarios which illustrate rankings and the meaning behind them demystifies the topic. How to take action and a perspective on realistic costs reveals what google thinks about your website!

Reach out to Harmonia Media for a website review and free consultation about how we can help drive leads with a sound digital marketing strategy.

 

At Harmonia Media, clients ask us all the time about whether or not they need a blog on their company website. We believe, and there is plenty of documentation out there to prove we are right, that the answer is absolute “yes!” You do need a blog on your business website; here’s why.

Google loves content and, if you want your website to be found by prospective customers, you need to love Google back. The best thing to improve your Google standing is to consistently add fresh, interesting content to your website. Every time you post new content, Google takes note and makes a determination about its quality. If the content you add is valuable for people searching the topic, your website has a better chance of showing up well in a Google search.

Now, that description makes it sound much easier than it actually is, truth be told. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes after a blog is posted to improve search results. However, good content matched with top-notch search engine optimization (literally optimizing your content so the search engines, like Google, can find you) goes a long way to driving traffic to your website.

Additionally, a blog is a great resource for social media interaction. Since your prospects may find you first on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc., you can engage with them and direct them back to your witty and useful content on your blog. Once they are on your website, you have a great chance of convincing them to make contact.

Tips for Driving Traffic Through Your Blog

• Make sure you link to other pages on your websiteto keep the reader “in the conversation.” As an example, at Harmonia Media, we believe in providing a concierge service we like to call the “Harmonia Difference.” Check it out.
• Only publish fresh and interesting content your readers care about. First off, you won’t get any Google juice if you publish nonsense. And, if you copy someone else’s words, it will actually hurt your website instead of help.
• UseCalls to Action that entice the visitor to do what you want them to do. If you want them to download something, add buttons that say “download now.” If you want them to make contact with you, add suggestions like “contact us” or “let’s talk” that lead to a contact page.

With that in mind, Harmonia Media is your ticket to traffic-driving digital media strategy. Whether it’s a blog, social media management, SEO or a whole new website, let’s talk. Contact us today for a free consultation.
