Increasing Website Conversion Matters More Than Increasing Website Traffic

If you focus on website conversion, instead of mainly focusing on driving more website traffic, you will transform your business with greater revenue, efficiency, and profit that will continue to compound over time.

The Importance of Website Conversion

Website conversion rate is the lifeblood of a business and a baseline with which to take a hard look at what might be working, and what might need improvement. The majority of website traffic turns into lost revenue because website traffic never converts. On average, 98% of website traffic never converts into revenue.

Almost every business that we have spoken to wants growth, top and bottom line. A common theme that we have heard from businesses is that they want to grow, but they do not have endless budgets to spend on marketing to scale growth and attract more customers.

Buying your way into growth by spending more money on marketing campaigns to increase website traffic is one strategy, but another more productive strategy for your top and bottom line is to take the riches that you already have with your current website traffic and increase your website conversion rate. Increasing your conversion rate drives the greatest revenue growth and drives efficiencies across all aspects of your business. And from our conversations is an immediate opportunity for the majority of small businesses.

We discussed the multiplicative effect of conversion rate optimization in our previous blog, “Why 1% in Conversion Rate Optimization Increases Revenue by 50%.” By increasing your website conversion rate, you reduce customer acquisition costs, improve customer experience, and make every marketing dollar invested work harder by delivering more revenue to your top and bottom line. A website that achieves even one-tenth of a percent in website conversion increases revenue by 5% and increasing website conversion by 1% increases revenue 50%. Not to mention the compounding effect of website conversion on profit. So why do we hear more conversations about spending money to increase website traffic and fewer conversations on converting existing website traffic?

2 Marketing Strategies to Deliver Growth

We will address this below in our tale of two marketing strategies to deliver growth.

Strategy 1: Increase Marketing Spend to Increase Website Traffic

While it might seem easier to increase marketing spend to increase traffic short-term, your marketing budget to increase traffic will not keep pace with growth expectations. In fact, you might spend more money on marketing to drive website traffic, but a hard lesson that many businesses have learned is that more website traffic does not equate to more customers and revenue.

Strategy 2: Increase Website Conversion to Increase Revenue, Efficiency, and Profit

If you do not address why people leave your website, and why they stay, browse, and buy your products or book a meeting to discuss your services, you will never increase your website conversion rate. But many businesses do not find it easy to understand what is happening on their website and what to optimize to increase conversions and to understand who are the best potential customers for outreach based on visitor behavior. An optimized website guides website visitors to take action, turning more lookers into bookers of orders, meetings, trials, consultations, and quotes that drives revenue, efficiency and profit.

But many businesses struggle since traditional website analytics solutions have been difficult to implement, requiring a team of technical experts that many businesses do not have to manage and make sense of the data. Increasing conversion rates means understanding what your visitors need, removing points of friction where visitors fall out of your funnel, and identifying visitors most likely to convert.

Raw data does not drive smarter decisions. The ability to draw insights that everyone understands from data with AI analytics stands as the current game changer in the equation to leapfrog a business over its established competitors. Understanding the human behavior of why a visitor converts and how you can optimize to repeat and encourage this behavior to drive revenue will separate who grows, who gets left behind, and who maintains the status quo. It used to be that great insights into your data came at a great price, but AI and Cloud computing level the playing field to provide incredible insights at an affordable price on secure cloud infrastructure.
