Creating Websites That Support Your Business Not Hinder ‘Em

Brand Your Legacy™️: The Clubhouse Years

This episode explains how to turn your website into a powerful marketing tool that supports your overall strategy. This podcast helps both tech-savvy and non-tech listeners by sharing valuable insights, strategies, and practical steps to make your brand stand out online.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace Tech with Confidence:
  Learn to use technology as part of your branding strategy.

• Customer Journey Mapping:
  Understand and guide users through their journey on your site by creating clear roadmaps tailored for:
  • Newcomers who found you via search engines.
  • Those somewhat familiar with you from social media or other platforms.
  • Ready-to-buy customers looking for specific services or products.
• Call-to-Action (CTA):
  Place CTAs strategically “above the fold” on landing pages to prompt immediate action from visitors.

• Content Alignment:
  Ensure content supports customer journeys – e.g., direct new acquaintances towards low-cost offers or free resources like blogs or podcasts; lead acquainted visitors towards service offerings; guide ready buyers directly to purchase points.

• Ease of Use & Clarity:
  Make navigation intuitive and purchasing straightforward. Videos can help achieve this by offering personality-driven guidance across different pages.

• Legal Compliance:
  Address data protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA transparently on your site.

• Video Integration Tips:
  • Embed videos rather than hosting them directly on-site using platforms like Vimeo (for private content) or YouTube (for public sharing).
  • Keep introductory videos under one minute; explanatory videos should be less than two minutes.

Recommended Tools:

1. Google Analytics
2. Vimeo Pro Version
3. YouTube

These tools can assist in understanding user engagement while also managing video content effectively without burdening website servers.

Final Thoughts:

Your website is more than a brochure; it's an interactive platform where education meets personal connection. Leverage blogging, multimedia content, analytics, and strategic placement of CTAs to turn clicks into profit while showcasing all facets of what makes you unique—right down to gardening tips if that's part of who you are!

Remember:
Never leave visitors at the front door—guide them through each room in your home metaphorically speaking—from welcoming mat (landing page), kitchen (homepage), living room (about me), right up till they reach out at home office where business gets done!
