People today are hanging out on Social Media, connecting with their friends and family, so you have to be a part of their everyday. Remind them that you have the right product that makes their lives easier and better.
They know about you, but where would you lead them? Now you should have an online store, where they can find everything they want to learn about your brand, products, offers, pricing, and location directions.
Having a website some years ago was a choice, but now it’s a must. I’m pretty sure you don’t want people to search on search engines and not find your products but your competitors’. That would be mistake number ONE, and maybe the last because people nowadays want to see a website. They want to know if your business is trustworthy and if it’s a good idea to buy from you.
I’ve collected some reasons why you should have a website as a startup company, let’s see them together.
Ranking your startup website first in Search Engines
This points to generating more leads and making new customers. Finding keywords that are related to your business and products, and making content around them is a small part of the process of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Firstly you need deep research of what your people search on Google and then how they try to find products like yours.
As your website content grows, you should find new keywords, so that when people are searching for your products you’re sure that your product will stand out.
Things that make your SEO better are:
Page titles – You should have your keyword in your title because that’s the first thing people see on Search Engines.
Extra tip: Don’t forget to use a mind-blowing hook, and make people click exact on your link.
Meta description – A startup website should also have an awesome description right under the title, so people after reading it will click on the page. The words that are bolded in the meta-description are the ones people were using while they were trying to find something.
Image alt-tagging – This is used by screen records – apps that help people with visual impairments. Also, it strengthens image search results.
Backlinks – Your startup website should be linked to another high-quality website with valuable content. Even better is when you get links back from sites like this. But, for this, you need to share valuable and high-quality content as well.
What happened after they click on your startup website?
Okay, your potential customers saw you on the first page, they are hooked up by your title and descriptions and they came to your website, but what now?
