Let Your Traffic Heat Up

Having a website will not instantly boost traffic, and increased traffic will not turn your small business into an empire overnight. Websites can be finicky and they need TLC, along with some good old search engine optimization (SEO). Keep in mind that traffic does not equal sales, so don’t game the system and overload your site with repetitive keywords. Concentrate on the right keywords sprinkled sparingly, create engaging and informative content, and know that SEO needs to simmer a little before it’s at its best. © Manta Media Inc.

Don't keep your website visitors waiting

Is your website the tortoise or the hare? Because in this scenario, it's not the slow turtle that wins in the end - it's the speedy bunny. How fast your web pages load is critical. A mere one-second delay can cost your site as much as a 7% decrease in conversion rate. Yikes! Optimize page speeds, make sure you have enough bandwidth, and take the lead in customer satisfaction. - Manta Media, Inc
