Your website\u2019s homepage is the first place to look for improvement in a website review, since more often than not this is the first place people see when they find your company. In reviewing your homepage there are a few tried and true tips we find ourselves frequently recommending to our clients. Test them out on your website and you\u2019ll likely find a boost in conversions, calls, or even walk-ins just by making a few simple adjustments. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Include All Contact Information <\/strong>\u2013 The goal of most websites is to drive leads or sales back to your business. How do you achieve this? If you don\u2019t include your contact information in prominent areas then you\u2019re making your prospects search for it, and no one wants to do this! Your website\u2019s header should include the phone number and\/or email address so customers can quickly reach you. The footer is also a great place to include the phone number and\/or email address, as well as the business\u2019 physical address if you want to drive foot traffic to the store. ***Bonus*** <\/em><\/strong>If visits to your storefront are important, be sure to include hours of operation as well!<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. \n
    \"Pyfer <\/a>
    Pyfer Reese Straub Gray & Farhat P.C.<\/a> make excellent use of space on their homepage by including a video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A Clear Call To Action<\/strong> \u2013 What do you want visitors on your website to do? Free consultations, newsletter signups and visiting the online store are just a few options you should include a clear call to action for. Don\u2019t forget to make the call to action prominent on the mobile version!<\/li>\n

  3. Include A Video \u2013<\/strong> We\u2019ve previously shared 5 ways a video can help boost your search rankings<\/a> and still recommend adding one to your homepage. Do note that the video should NOT auto-play<\/strong> since sound can frustrate users, especially if they aren\u2019t expecting it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
