MenuHow can I reduce my bouce rate?
Felix here from Pokit. I'm looking for improvements on my site: https://www.pokitinnovations.com/ - particularly on dropping our bounce rate. Do you have any suggestions?
Answers


To reduce your bounce rate, you need to make sure that the messages you send are short and simple. If the message is too long or too complicated, it will not be received by your customers. Also when writing a blog post, try to keep it short and catchy because shorter posts tend to get more attention from readers than longer ones.
In addition, if you want to increase traffic on your website or blog, use social media as a marketing tool so that people can find out about what you have to offer. This is how I found my website and how I started my business!
Thanks for reading this answer! Hope it helps you out in some way!


Hi Felix, As you probably realize, two things will improve your BR:
1. Better quality of traffic to your site - Random guess that this is a mix of electricians, electronic technicians, home and appliance repair pros, and DIYer consumers? If you get more of the people who need your multimeter/oscilloscope/logger, they're less likely to bounce. But how do you multiply your traffic from them? For that, we'd deep dive on your marketing mix to see what channels you're using and adjust contextuality and targeting while implementing new campaigns for bigger reach to ensure that you are getting a much higher volume of true ICP (ideal customer profile) visitors to your website. We'd also develop a winning SEO and content marketing roadmap that you can execute on without hiring support team.
2. The second factor for Bounce Rate is the website conversion experience. Right now you, have a site that is on its way to credibility, but there are some simple fixes that need to be made ASAP to your featured reviews and to the priority you're giving to your products. It's a lot to take in, and some simple fixes will improve your flow. Obviously, removing "Pre-Order" (as soon as that's possible) will help a lot. Messaging-wise, the site needs some help. You're all about features, and missing the benefit. Marketers toss around the acronym FAB: Features, Advantages, Benefits. Right now your site is getting an "F", a lower-case "a", and B is nowhere to be seen.
I do real-time conversion reviews and roadmap strategy if you want a hand. Either way, I hope this helps!


Your website bounce rate simply indicates how sticky your website is, that is how long end users stay on a particular page on the website.
A well optimized website will keep visitors on your site for as long as they should. I suggest you set real expectations so as to attract the right visitors. The master key is to prioritize user experience. A user-friendly website will set yours apart from the others. Take your page loading time up a notch by producing high quality contents; I can assist you with that if you don't mind. Do you know how to optimize your website plus how to check its loading time?

You have a lot of options to market to boomers and seniors. That age group is facebook's fastest growing segment. Build ads that target that age group and think about having a facebook page to supplement your efforts there. Older people search just like the rest of us as well, so build an adwords campaign around keywords that might align with your product.

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.

How to price conversion rate optimization?
I provide conversion optimisation services on a price per day on a rolling monthly basis. I did it this way, because my background is in software development consultancy and everything was estimated and billed out on a daily basis. I also provide one off services which is normally priced based on how long it would take to complete. I prefer to work with customers on a rolling monthly basis because I can have an impact on many aspects of their digital marketing and business processes. It means I'm also not tied to only creating split tests but have the freedom to advise and have a positive impact on multiple areas of a business.

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.

How can I convince a client to sign up a 12 month SEO contract?
The best way to work around something like this is to map out the long-term strategy in phases. Build out a brief project map that outlines what they will receive within the 1-3 month period, the 4-7 month and the 8-12 month period. Set micro objectives for each period and this will give the client a bit more confidence in the short-term plans as well as the long. The key thing to remember here is that the client will often be worried about being tied into a contract that doesn't deliver results. As a result, you need to show why you need the time that you do. One thing that I often throw in is an extra incentive for longer contract lengths - for example, an extra PR/content campaign or some paid advertising extras. Try to assure them of some shorter term results that you can obtain as 'quick wins' and build their confidence this way - the major targets will always be longer term but if you can demonstrate that there will be progress between then they will be a lot more receptive.
