Add Value to Your Website


The world of online marketing for online businesses is constantly changing. Many businesses fail because of the lack of value they give to their online business website. Online business is always about adding value to the items that you acquire to gain profit. This is especially true when you deal with real and virtual property like a website. Adding value to your service allows you to raise the product price, so you earn more money, or keep the price the same, but conversion rates and customer satisfaction with the product will be higher. Anyone can make their own website, and often for free or a very nominal cost. You don’t need to know html coding anymore, with plenty of ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ web developer platforms. But how can you make your website the best it can be?


Search engine optimization is very important if you want to sell products on your site. A highly optimized site has keywords that search engines love and which put it at the top rank. This makes your website more visible to internet surfers who are looking for information that is related to your keyword. Once they enter a search phrase which contains your keyword, they will be led to your site. This means that you have more chances of having your site visited than those sites that do not rank. A website with a high ranking keyword is more valuable than one without.


Social media marketing is becoming a mainstay for business owners. Show customers you’re active on sites like Twitter and Facebook by integrating social icons and functionality into your website. Consider adding share buttons to any website content or product pages so that visitors can easily link their friends to your website. These are essential because it keeps your site active and interesting. If people know they can get regular updates about your company’s activities, they will come back more often and social media is an excellent tool for this. A blog is a great tool for sharing news and updates with customers. Blog posts are great for pushing out content to your online friends and followers. Companies that frequently update their blogs with keyword-rich writing will likely see improvements in their search engine rankings too.

Improve the appearance of your pages. A change in the banner or logo design could be enough to attract more traffic. Get rid of clutters in your pages and make them easy to read and navigate. Your visitors would like to get information easily from your contents. Having a good looking website may satisfy visually, but if it isn't user friendly or can’t be found due to the cyber-overcrowding occurring with more and more companies turning up online, you’re back to square one. Write in an engaging manner to grab your readers’ attention and make them want to stay longer to read more. This will decrease your bounce rate and increase the value of your website. See to it that they are highly informative and the knowledge that they want to share to your readers are clearly presented.



These are just a few of the things that you can do to add value to your site. Be creative and you will discover that you are sitting on a gold mine. With a few tweaks, your site can be valued several times higher than the amount you paid for it.
