Website losing money?-Sarasota Web Agency Real Life Examples
3 ways a website can lose $2,000 in one minute
#1 That website button is not working! I’ll just check out another site.
Have you gone to a website to get information on a product, say Attorney Services, car insurance quote, or information on listing you see for a house, or even trying to get a new printer copier of your business… You fill in your name, email and phone number. You press the submit button or send button… nothing happens so you press it again. Then you press it a couple more times, and you’re totally unsure what the heck is going on. What do you do? You leave and go to another website that works! That attorney just lost a $5,000 retainer. That doctor just lost a $15,000 procedure. That Insurance Company lost about $1,200.
#2 Why do I hardly get any phone calls from my website?
Your car is broken down on I-75 near Sarasota-Bradenton. You know your car needs coolant because it’s overheated, so you look up your nearest auto parts store, you click the phone number on the website, and it won’t dial.. so what are you to do? You find the next auto parts store with a phone number that works! That auto parts company just lost business. Is this web design sarasota can trust? How many people have tried to do the same thing and have gotten the same result?
#3 I requested information from your website, but nobody got back with me!
Have you ever gone to a website, say to book a hair appointment, book a massage, or make an appointment with a new psychologist. You put all your information in and hit the send button. You feel relieved because now you don’t have to worry about getting in touch with them, again because they will call you… right? Days pass, and you are a little worried. A week passes, and now you are frustrated. Screw them if they don’t want my business! You just go to a different place and book a new appointment there, and they call you the same day. You are happy! The original company is sad! Wait, how do they know they missed a customer? They probably don’t, and will go on doing the same thing like nothing ever happened. Meanwhile, their competitors are getting all of their business. Finally, you may even be so irritated they wasted your time, that you leave a bad Google or Yelp review. Talking about adding insult to injury…and this company has no idea.
Web marketing and design: Does your Sarasota Area Business Have a Problem?
So how many website clicks or leads have you lost because of poor website implementation? Guess what, I bet you have no idea, because how would you ever know how many you have lost, unless you’re monitoring them. What if you are monitoring your internet leads?
How much of your time are you using to monitor your website, how much money are you paying?
- So now you know you have a problem on your website but how do you fix it?
- You have no idea how to do this so how are you ever going to fix it, number one, and how do you get all the information that people entered into your contact form, when the send now button didn’t
- You have no idea how to do this so how are you ever going to fix it, number one, and how do you get all the information that people entered into your contact form, when the send now button didn’t
- What I mean is how do you get the personal information back that was missed because the button didn’t work?
So then you look at it, and may not know what your problem really is, and/or you don’t know how to fix it but your losing money. You have a few choices.
Fix your website: 4 options
- Bury your head in the sand and do nothing. Ignorance is bliss…even when you are losing thousands of easy money.
- If you have the time and the patience to make this a part time job for a couple weeks, then please do it yourself.
- You can call a local website agency or web marketing company for a one-time charge to fix the problem. But please remember that the internet updates constantly, and anything the website agency fixes today, can be broken in 6 months.
- You can hire a website agency or internet marketing agency to affordably monitor your website for all these problems, and you will not have these problems again. Hence, you won’t lose leads.
It is your business and your money. If you think it’s not important to monitor your website for many issues like this, then try Step 1 above, and do what most of your competitors do. If you value bringing more leads and more money, do what most of your competitors do not do, and opt for at the very least #3, preferably #4.
