But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for…
(Soundtrack for this weekly review: U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For)
Think you have great web presence and well-optimized content?
Key ingredients to a successful and well-crafted web presence include findability, usability, user experience. But even in 2010, too often the buyers can’t find what they’re looking for on the internet, which translates directly into sellers losing real prospects and sales every day.
Having relevant content is fantastic. But is it easily accessible, when your buyers need it to make purchasing decisions? Does your web presence include social selling and social CRM components?
While there are lots of methods and tools to increase website findability, SEO is only the beginning. We suggest exploring beyond the a la carte approach when optimizing your web content.
