If your business has a website that performed decently well last year but you feel like there’s still plenty of room for improvement, chances are you’re right. As the holiday season and many other indicators showed, people are spending more of their time online. What’s interesting is much of this increased time isn’t spent on desktops or laptops. Instead, people are using their phones to stay connected wherever they are.
Because people are naturally moving more of their attention online, the opportunity for businesses is significant. So if you want to make this the best year your business has ever had online, here are four ways to connect with more customers:
1. Redesign Your Website
One reason your business website may not be performing as well as you’d like is there are some issues holding it back. From a site that loads slow to a design that looks outdated, there are a number of problems that can prevent visitors from turning into customers. The good news is our company can identify and solve all of these problems for you. With our expert help, you can get a website redesign that looks great, loads fast, and is fully compatible with mobile devices of all sizes.

2. Publish Blog Posts
There are a number of ways that consistently publishing blog posts can help your business. Blog posts give you the opportunity to cover a wide range of relevant topics, which increases the likelihood that a potential customer will come across your business. Blogging can also help you build a community of people who will take the initiative to share your content and tell others about your business.

3. Get Social
This ties directly into the positive effects that consistent blogging can have on a business. Even though the social media landscape has changed a lot over the last few years, it’s still an incredible way to reach and connect with people who are interested in what your business has to offer. If diving into social seems overwhelming, our free social media score tool is a great starting point.

4. Improve Your Website’s SEO
When done correctly, search engine optimization still presents a huge opportunity for bringing in new customers. The key to finding success with SEO is taking a holistic approach. This can mean making site changes with website development services and web design, as well as doing ongoing SEO work like building quality backlinks.
