Just having a website benefits a business in many ways.
- Your business looks more professional
- It’s easier for people to find you
- They can research the services you offer
However, your website could do a lot more. Many businesses are using their websites as their
front line for customer acquisition and customer support. They funnel customers to the website from many sources and direct them around to pages that highlight a product or service the customer is looking for.
For example, social media posts can not only highlight an event or new product or service, but also link directly to the page where they register to attend or see more information about that product or service. Newsletters can highlight recent blog posts and contain links to different areas of your site that are of interest (like contact, owners’ manuals, etc.).
Whenever possible, these links go directly to the information the customer is looking for, not just the homepage. This helps customers to quickly navigate around the site, rather than leaving them to figure out where to go. Also, the business can present the customer with calls to action that go with the content they are interested in and encourage them to interact with the company. These leads can then be tracked and tied to money earned through that interaction.
Additionally, businesses can provide FAQs (frequenttly asked questions) or knowledge base (KB) articles, owner’s manuals, videos and blog posts and other content explaining better how to use products or services they purchase, news and updates about them, as well as the opportunity to leave reviews, and resolve problems or complaints. This builds a more loyal customer base.
Some businesses integrate different software packages to handle internal functions like lead capture and processing, sales and marketing, customer relationship management, and even project management, document sharing and accounting.
