#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• ARTICLE FROM MARKETING PROFS : Mike Volpe
• Consider this: There are about 700 million websites. But
to most of us, only a tiny fraction of those sites exist
because we jump from bookmark to bookmark, scanning
our favorite homepages and refreshing our feeds.

#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• People are loyal to websites that draw them in because,
simply put, the majority of those 700 millions sites are
just plain bad. Of millions of websites analyzed by
Marketing Grader, a whopping 72% received a grade of 59
out of 100 or below, which essentially means 72% of

• Marketers everywhere are asking, "Why do so many
websites fall short?"

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

16
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• Although websites were introduced over 20 years ago, the
vast majority still function on old-school paradigms
established in the 1990s.
• Most websites today act as digital brochures or a brand
silo, offering little substance.

• Even if a website has a good balance of design and utility,
few companies are building websites that serve their
primary purpose: to attract visitors, convert leads, and
delight customers with rich, relevant, and valuable
content.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

17
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• 1. Most websites act like an online brochure instead of a
thought-leadership resource
• You've spent all this time and money building a beautiful
website, optimizing for search and testing the PPC
waters. But your bounce rate is high, you conversion rate
is low, and your traffic and leads are flat or dropping over
time. What gives?

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

18
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• Even with a sound SEO strategy and user-friendly design,
a website is an engine that runs on remarkable content
being pumped into it day after day.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

19
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS
• The goal of a website is to attract visitors, convert leads,
and delight customers.
• Your business won't see those benefits unless you turn
your website into an inbound marketing machine that
presents your brand as a thought-leader with fresh offers,
landing pages, calls-to-action, new media, social
conversation, and other content assets.
• By creating such content, you grow traffic and leads
organically, without having to rely on paid campaigns.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

20
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• In the end, you want to own the Web, not rent it. A website
that harnesses inbound marketing attracts customers to
your business and turns a static site into something
visitors actually want to "consume" and interact with.

We’re talking about the Three
Reasons that Web Sites Fail

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

22
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• 2. Most websites are one-size fits all instead of dynamic
• Back in the day, websites were created with a "set it and
forget it" mentality. Like advertising, corporate sites were
a vehicle for broadcast, not conversation.
• But in this attention-scarce economy, buyers expect to
receive relevant information that's tailored to their
specific wants and needs.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

23
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS
• Though many companies begin by investing in content
marketing, that's only half of the equation.
• Content plus context delivers a personalized experience
to people who interact with you online.
• Many marketers today think of context only in the form of
email. They obsess over list segmentation and relevant
copy to specific audiences. That works until the person
receiving the message takes any action outside email and
finds a non-contextual website, mobile app, landing page,
and call-to-action.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

24
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• The best example of context done right is Amazon.
• When I return to Amazon, it knows who I am and
addresses me by name. It knows what I like and
recommends products that interest me.
• Now, not every website needs to be as complex as
Amazon. Even a little personalization goes a long way.
You can tailor a buyer's experience with your website to
their industry, their job role, the content they've
consumed, or stage in the buying process. Show them
that you know them.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

25
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• Today's buyers require a personalized experience. They
don't like to be treated like everyone else.
• Context helps marketers gain a larger share of attention
from prospects and helps move buyers down the funnel.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

26
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• 3. Most websites are built for the company, not the
customer

• If you've ever been involved in a website redesign, you
know the process usually involves many stakeholders,
from senior leadership to internal employees and perhaps
an agency.
• But when was the customer—the person you're
supposedly building the site for—ever asked to weigh in?

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

27
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• Many websites do a great job of highlighting how
awesome they are; but, I hate to break it to you, your
customers don't care...
• They land on your homepage hoping to solve a problem,
answer a question, buy something, or to be entertained.

• They aren't there to hear you talk about yourself, to see
how many awards you've won, or to put your product
pages on their must-have reading list.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

28
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• Your website may be pretty, but if it doesn't provide what
the customer wants, despite how much marketing power
you put behind it, you will have failed.
• Do you really want to end up like Digg, Pets.com, or the
original MySpace? All of those websites offered good
services and were powered by advertising. But, in the
end, they couldn't retain their audience.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

29
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• All it takes is a little bit of research and the decision to
create a more user-centered design. Do so, and your
customers will love your website and think, "This is for
me!"

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

30
#EDGETALK : 3 REASONS

• If you don't avoid these three deadly mistakes, your
website will struggle to see results. The key is to not think
of a website as just a website. Think of it as a media
channel. An extension of your brand. And a voice for the
customer.

• If you focus on creating a website that harnesses content
plus context and puts your customer at the core, then
you'll experience an increase in returned visitors, leads,
loyalty, and word-of-mouth. Go ahead. Give it a try.

10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

ARTICLE: HUB SPOT / Jessica Meher
Almost every marketer has been through a website redesign in
their lifetime. Whether it's for corporate rebranding, launching
new products, going mobile, or just to increase the site's
effectiveness, a redesign is a great way to recharge and breathe
new life into your online presence.
That might be why, according to internal data from a Hub Spot
upcoming 2013 Website Redesign Report, most companies
undergo a redesign every 6 months to 2 years.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

45
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

But not all good intentions end well.
The same research report discovered that approximately 1/3 of
marketers were not happy with their last website redesign.

And worse, 38% of companies' website performance did not
improve after a redesign. So, why go through all the pain with so
little gain?

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

46
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

• With an average cost of $43,000, a redesign should be done
for only the right reasons. So perhaps the dissatisfaction with
so many redesigns stems from the fact that they were done for
all the wrong reasons.

• Don't fall into the trap. Here are 10 awful reasons to redesign
your website.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

47
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
1. "It's Been 8 Months Since My Last Redesign―
• Why This Is Awful
• About a year ago, Hubspot asked marketers for the primary
motivation behind their most recent website redesign. The top
response was, well ... it was boredom. A third of marketers
said they redesigned because it was time for a change.

• Just because you see your website a hundred times or more a
day doesn't mean your visitors do. When you see your own
website so often, it's easy to get sick and tired of seeing it.
You start to notice things. Little things.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

48
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 2) "Because the CEO Said So―
• While the majority of the responsibility of a redesign is on the
marketing team, our 2013 State of Website Redesign Report
found that in 58% of the companies surveyed, the
executive team has the final vote.
• Why This Is Awful
• Marketers, if your CEO or an executive team member is
influencing your website strategy, I feel your pain. Not many
CEOs have a strong internet marketing background or indepth knowledge of what really makes a website tick.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

49
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

• 3) "My Website Lacks Flare―
• There are times when web designers feel the need to add
fancy elements, such as sliders, rotating images, scrolling
logos, etc. -- just because it looks better. Or, a redesign is
executed because the site isn't using the latest and greatest
technology like HTML5.
• Why This Is Awful
• Flashier isn't always better. Especially when it doesn't add any
actual value to the visitor.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

50
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 4) "It's Not Pixel-Perfect―
• It's important to care about quality. But I've seen so many
marketers obsess over every square pixel of their site (or
email, or banner ad, etc.). They think that by making it pixelperfect, it's suddenly better.
• Why This Is Awful
• Steve Jobs once said, "Great design is not how it looks, but
how it works." I fear we'll have a real image problem in our
profession if we don't show more results. More than 1/3 of
marketers don't know if their site metrics improved after
their site redesign,

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

51
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 5) "I Want It to Look Like Apple―
• Ever see a great website that you just had to copy? Getting
inspiration is a great thing, but redesigning your site "just
because it needs to look more like Company Y's"? Ummm ...
not so much.
• Why This Is Awful
• Just because a certain design worked for one company
doesn't mean it will work for you. Again, it's a great idea to pull
inspiration from other sources, especially as you do research
before a redesign, but implementing certain design factors
because they are liked (without serving a real purpose) will
only deliver failed results.

reasons to redesign your web
site

1-877-SEO-4-WEB

53
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

• 6) "The Competition Just Updated Theirs―
• In more competitive markets, this one is a biggie. I've seen so
many companies redesign a website simply because one of
their competitors did. And, for some reason, it turns into
Darwin's theory of evolution, causing a predatory instinct to
change or die.
• Why This Is Awful
• Let's be honest here: You probably visit your competitors'
websites more often than you care to admit, right?

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

54
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 7) "We Need to Improve Our SEO―
• One of the top reasons for a redesign is to increase web
traffic. Traffic is, after all, important to a site's performance
because without visitors, you can't generate leads and sales.
But redesigning a site primarily around search engine
optimization (SEO)? That's just silly.

• Why This Is Awful
• While traffic is the most frequently tracked site metric, only
8.6% of companies redesign their website to improve lead
generation. What good is increased traffic without converting
those visitors into subscribers, leads, or customers?

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

55
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 8) "My Site Needs More Product Information―
• Are your products not selling themselves? Perhaps better
product pages is all you need. Or maybe your website isn't
highlighting your core strengths and unique advantages
enough? I know! A redesign is the answer!
• Why This Is Awful
• Only 14% of marketers launched a redesign to improve its
overall user experience. As a result, most websites tend to
be product-centric instead of customer-centric.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

56
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

• 9) "I Want to Look 'Bigger'―
• If you're a company that competes against the "big guys," then
the only solution is to look big, too. Right?
• Why This Is Awful

• I hear this excuse a lot, as well as wanting to "look smaller."
Again, looking bigger or smaller isn't suddenly going to make
your website more effective. Looking professional is important,
but in most cases, your high bounce rate isn't because you
don't like IBM

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

57
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN
• 10) "Because It's a Major Announcement―
• Congratulations! You just launched your brand new website.
As marketers, it's our job to make sure everyone in our
industry knows about it. And what better way to announce
your shiny new site then with a method everyone ignores -- a
press release!
• Why This Is Awful
• If you want to create a website everyone talks about, focus on
creating valuable content that people love to consume and
turn your site into the thought leadership hub where everyone
in your industry goes to find information.

1-877-SEO-4-WEB
1-877-736-4932

58
10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN

• If you're considering a website redesign, please consider
improving how it works, not just how it looks. Think about
creating rich content for each buyer persona, calls-toaction and optimized landing pages to convert traffic, and
dynamic pages to add a more personalized experience.

  • 15. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • ARTICLE FROM MARKETING PROFS : Mike Volpe • Consider this: There are about 700 million websites. But to most of us, only a tiny fraction of those sites exist because we jump from bookmark to bookmark, scanning our favorite homepages and refreshing our feeds. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 15
  • 16. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • People are loyal to websites that draw them in because, simply put, the majority of those 700 millions sites are just plain bad. Of millions of websites analyzed by Marketing Grader, a whopping 72% received a grade of 59 out of 100 or below, which essentially means 72% of websites are failing to attract new visitors and convert leads. • Marketers everywhere are asking, "Why do so many websites fall short?" 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 16
  • 17. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Although websites were introduced over 20 years ago, the vast majority still function on old-school paradigms established in the 1990s. • Most websites today act as digital brochures or a brand silo, offering little substance. • Even if a website has a good balance of design and utility, few companies are building websites that serve their primary purpose: to attract visitors, convert leads, and delight customers with rich, relevant, and valuable content. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 17
  • 18. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • 1. Most websites act like an online brochure instead of a thought-leadership resource • You've spent all this time and money building a beautiful website, optimizing for search and testing the PPC waters. But your bounce rate is high, you conversion rate is low, and your traffic and leads are flat or dropping over time. What gives? 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 18
  • 19. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Even with a sound SEO strategy and user-friendly design, a website is an engine that runs on remarkable content being pumped into it day after day. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 19
  • 20. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • The goal of a website is to attract visitors, convert leads, and delight customers. • Your business won't see those benefits unless you turn your website into an inbound marketing machine that presents your brand as a thought-leader with fresh offers, landing pages, calls-to-action, new media, social conversation, and other content assets. • By creating such content, you grow traffic and leads organically, without having to rely on paid campaigns. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 20
  • 21. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • In the end, you want to own the Web, not rent it. A website that harnesses inbound marketing attracts customers to your business and turns a static site into something visitors actually want to "consume" and interact with. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 21
  • 22. IF YOU’RE TUNING IN! If you just tuned in: You’re Listing to Edge of the Web Radio We’re talking about the Three Reasons that Web Sites Fail 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 22
  • 23. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • 2. Most websites are one-size fits all instead of dynamic • Back in the day, websites were created with a "set it and forget it" mentality. Like advertising, corporate sites were a vehicle for broadcast, not conversation. • But in this attention-scarce economy, buyers expect to receive relevant information that's tailored to their specific wants and needs. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 23
  • 24. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Though many companies begin by investing in content marketing, that's only half of the equation. • Content plus context delivers a personalized experience to people who interact with you online. • Many marketers today think of context only in the form of email. They obsess over list segmentation and relevant copy to specific audiences. That works until the person receiving the message takes any action outside email and finds a non-contextual website, mobile app, landing page, and call-to-action. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 24
  • 25. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • The best example of context done right is Amazon. • When I return to Amazon, it knows who I am and addresses me by name. It knows what I like and recommends products that interest me. • Now, not every website needs to be as complex as Amazon. Even a little personalization goes a long way. You can tailor a buyer's experience with your website to their industry, their job role, the content they've consumed, or stage in the buying process. Show them that you know them. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 25
  • 26. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Today's buyers require a personalized experience. They don't like to be treated like everyone else. • Context helps marketers gain a larger share of attention from prospects and helps move buyers down the funnel. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 26
  • 27. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • 3. Most websites are built for the company, not the customer • If you've ever been involved in a website redesign, you know the process usually involves many stakeholders, from senior leadership to internal employees and perhaps an agency. • But when was the customer—the person you're supposedly building the site for—ever asked to weigh in? 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 27
  • 28. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Many websites do a great job of highlighting how awesome they are; but, I hate to break it to you, your customers don't care... • They land on your homepage hoping to solve a problem, answer a question, buy something, or to be entertained. • They aren't there to hear you talk about yourself, to see how many awards you've won, or to put your product pages on their must-have reading list. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 28
  • 29. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • Your website may be pretty, but if it doesn't provide what the customer wants, despite how much marketing power you put behind it, you will have failed. • Do you really want to end up like Digg, Pets.com, or the original MySpace? All of those websites offered good services and were powered by advertising. But, in the end, they couldn't retain their audience. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 29
  • 30. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • All it takes is a little bit of research and the decision to create a more user-centered design. Do so, and your customers will love your website and think, "This is for me!" 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 30
  • 31. #EDGETALK : 3 REASONS • If you don't avoid these three deadly mistakes, your website will struggle to see results. The key is to not think of a website as just a website. Think of it as a media channel. An extension of your brand. And a voice for the customer. • If you focus on creating a website that harnesses content plus context and puts your customer at the core, then you'll experience an increase in returned visitors, leads, loyalty, and word-of-mouth. Go ahead. Give it a try. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 31

  • 45. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN ARTICLE: HUB SPOT / Jessica Meher Almost every marketer has been through a website redesign in their lifetime. Whether it's for corporate rebranding, launching new products, going mobile, or just to increase the site's effectiveness, a redesign is a great way to recharge and breathe new life into your online presence. That might be why, according to internal data from a Hub Spot upcoming 2013 Website Redesign Report, most companies undergo a redesign every 6 months to 2 years. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 45
  • 46. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN But not all good intentions end well. The same research report discovered that approximately 1/3 of marketers were not happy with their last website redesign. And worse, 38% of companies' website performance did not improve after a redesign. So, why go through all the pain with so little gain? 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 46
  • 47. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • With an average cost of $43,000, a redesign should be done for only the right reasons. So perhaps the dissatisfaction with so many redesigns stems from the fact that they were done for all the wrong reasons. • Don't fall into the trap. Here are 10 awful reasons to redesign your website. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 47
  • 48. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN 1. "It's Been 8 Months Since My Last Redesign― • Why This Is Awful • About a year ago, Hubspot asked marketers for the primary motivation behind their most recent website redesign. The top response was, well ... it was boredom. A third of marketers said they redesigned because it was time for a change. • Just because you see your website a hundred times or more a day doesn't mean your visitors do. When you see your own website so often, it's easy to get sick and tired of seeing it. You start to notice things. Little things. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 48
  • 49. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 2) "Because the CEO Said So― • While the majority of the responsibility of a redesign is on the marketing team, our 2013 State of Website Redesign Report found that in 58% of the companies surveyed, the executive team has the final vote. • Why This Is Awful • Marketers, if your CEO or an executive team member is influencing your website strategy, I feel your pain. Not many CEOs have a strong internet marketing background or indepth knowledge of what really makes a website tick. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 49
  • 50. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 3) "My Website Lacks Flare― • There are times when web designers feel the need to add fancy elements, such as sliders, rotating images, scrolling logos, etc. -- just because it looks better. Or, a redesign is executed because the site isn't using the latest and greatest technology like HTML5. • Why This Is Awful • Flashier isn't always better. Especially when it doesn't add any actual value to the visitor. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 50
  • 51. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 4) "It's Not Pixel-Perfect― • It's important to care about quality. But I've seen so many marketers obsess over every square pixel of their site (or email, or banner ad, etc.). They think that by making it pixelperfect, it's suddenly better. • Why This Is Awful • Steve Jobs once said, "Great design is not how it looks, but how it works." I fear we'll have a real image problem in our profession if we don't show more results. More than 1/3 of marketers don't know if their site metrics improved after their site redesign, 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 51
  • 52. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 5) "I Want It to Look Like Apple― • Ever see a great website that you just had to copy? Getting inspiration is a great thing, but redesigning your site "just because it needs to look more like Company Y's"? Ummm ... not so much. • Why This Is Awful • Just because a certain design worked for one company doesn't mean it will work for you. Again, it's a great idea to pull inspiration from other sources, especially as you do research before a redesign, but implementing certain design factors because they are liked (without serving a real purpose) will only deliver failed results. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 52
  • 53. IF YOU’RE TUNING IN! If you just tuned in: You’re Listing to Edge of the Web Radio We’re talking about 10 terrible reasons to redesign your web site 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 53
  • 54. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 6) "The Competition Just Updated Theirs― • In more competitive markets, this one is a biggie. I've seen so many companies redesign a website simply because one of their competitors did. And, for some reason, it turns into Darwin's theory of evolution, causing a predatory instinct to change or die. • Why This Is Awful • Let's be honest here: You probably visit your competitors' websites more often than you care to admit, right? 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 54
  • 55. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 7) "We Need to Improve Our SEO― • One of the top reasons for a redesign is to increase web traffic. Traffic is, after all, important to a site's performance because without visitors, you can't generate leads and sales. But redesigning a site primarily around search engine optimization (SEO)? That's just silly. • Why This Is Awful • While traffic is the most frequently tracked site metric, only 8.6% of companies redesign their website to improve lead generation. What good is increased traffic without converting those visitors into subscribers, leads, or customers? 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 55
  • 56. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 8) "My Site Needs More Product Information― • Are your products not selling themselves? Perhaps better product pages is all you need. Or maybe your website isn't highlighting your core strengths and unique advantages enough? I know! A redesign is the answer! • Why This Is Awful • Only 14% of marketers launched a redesign to improve its overall user experience. As a result, most websites tend to be product-centric instead of customer-centric. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 56
  • 57. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 9) "I Want to Look 'Bigger'― • If you're a company that competes against the "big guys," then the only solution is to look big, too. Right? • Why This Is Awful • I hear this excuse a lot, as well as wanting to "look smaller." Again, looking bigger or smaller isn't suddenly going to make your website more effective. Looking professional is important, but in most cases, your high bounce rate isn't because you don't like IBM 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 57
  • 58. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • 10) "Because It's a Major Announcement― • Congratulations! You just launched your brand new website. As marketers, it's our job to make sure everyone in our industry knows about it. And what better way to announce your shiny new site then with a method everyone ignores -- a press release! • Why This Is Awful • If you want to create a website everyone talks about, focus on creating valuable content that people love to consume and turn your site into the thought leadership hub where everyone in your industry goes to find information. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 58
  • 59. 10 TERRIBLE REASONS TO REDESIGN • If you're considering a website redesign, please consider improving how it works, not just how it looks. Think about creating rich content for each buyer persona, calls-toaction and optimized landing pages to convert traffic, and dynamic pages to add a more personalized experience. 1-877-SEO-4-WEB 1-877-736-4932 59
