Here are four proven methods for generating website traffic
When implementing a digital marketing strategy, here are four methods that many marketers use to increase traffic:
- Target the right searches — Your SEO strategy should cast a wide net, but not too wide. Go after keywords that are not only relevant to your business, but are most likely to convert to leads or sales.
- Perform competitive research — Try to find out what your competitors are targeting by seeing what searches they rank for organically or with PPC advertising. This can help you better understand where to focus efforts, or even where to back off.
- Share content on social media — If you’ve built a large and active audience on social media, sharing content from your website can be an exceptional way to drive traffic.
