3 Ways You're Killing Your Website ROI (And Losing 67% of Potential Customers)

About this episode

Your website gets traffic. But where are the enquiries?

In this episode, I reveal the three mistakes SME owners make that kill their website ROI – and how to fix them.

You’ll learn:

  • Why making your logo bigger actually hurts conversions
  • When to DIY your SEO vs when to hire a specialist (the race car analogy)
  • Why your contact form only captures 3% of visitors (and what to do about the other 67%)
  • The buyer awareness framework that changes everything
  • How we helped one client increase leads by 266% from the same traffic

Listen if: Your website looks professional but generates zero leads, you’re getting traffic but no enquiries, or you’re wondering why your £5k website investment isn’t paying off.

Web design for conversion is a complicated and multi-faceted beast and I hope this illustration helps you to understand how -essentially- the visual aspects sometimes require compromise, for true conversion potential.
