Ep #19: 20 Ideas To Drive Leads To Your Website in 2023
You paid good money for your beautiful website but you are not getting the results you were hoping for?
Let me help you with this.
One of the reasons you are not getting ROI (return on investment) from your website is that no one knows about your website or people don’t have incentive to check it out.
Start with checking your website traffic in Google Analytics. If you have a Squarespace website, you can access it through your website dashboard under Analytics.
The average conversion rate for a well-designed website is 1-2%. So, for example, if you want to get 10 bookings per month, you should aim for 1000 visitors per month.
Just by increasing traffic to your website, you will book more clients and will make more money.
In order to attract more people to your website you need to give them a good and urgent reason such as, read a blog that will solve your problem, sign up to a lead magnet or an event or limited time special offer.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Below 20 ideas how to drive more leads to your website in 2023.
1. BLOG
is the best way of attracting leads to your website by far. Blog will boost your ranking on Google and attract your ideal clients. The best part, you don’t need to promote it. Google will find your blog itself. Of course, to get even better results, you can promote your blog articles on your social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Quality over quantity is a key. An interesting blog that answers your target audience questions and solve their problems will attract the right clients to your website and your business.
2. PODCAST
Not everyone likes reading so big part of your ideal clients will choose audio, that they can listen during the workouts or commuting to work. I create my blog first and then I re-purpose the content for my podcast and video. It saves me a lot of time and spread my message to bigger amount of people. To bring your podcast listeners to your website, leave a link to your website and Lead magnet (freebie) in the show notes under each episode
3. YOUTUBE VIDEO
Same as podcast. Some people don’t search on Google, they go directly to YouTube and use its search bar to find the content. Make sure to leave a link to your website and freebie in the description under each video.
4. PINTEREST BIO
Add link to your website and lead magnet in your bio
5. PINTEREST PINS
Add your website address to every idea pin you publish and make it really visible. Although it’s not clickable, people can still check you out.

11. SUMMITS
A form of a collaboration but on a bigger scale. Organise or take part in a summit, where a few speakers present their opinion on a chosen topic. Bio of speakers including website addresses and freebies is distributed to everyone’s audiences. The more speakers participate in the summit, the bigger is the shared audience.
