    If any of these are true, stop launching campaigns and fix the site:

    • Traffic up, conversions flat

    • High bounce on core intent pages (pricing, demo)

    • Form fill ≠ sales-qualified conversations

    • Long time-to-value on homepage

    • Multiple CTAs competing for attention

    Your website is not a brochure.
    It’s a conversion system for different intent levels.

    I am of the perspective that website optimization should be incorporated as a priority (at least to some capacity) with all digital marketing strategies. I believe having a testing mindset is critical for growth. I do not recommend thinking about it as it relates to indicators for whether or not you should. Furthermore, I recommend including a CRO program as part of your digital marketing strategy.

Some other indicators that would tell me that website optimization should be a priority: You don't have a traffic > lead conversion goal You don't have a goal for net new leads You are spendi ...Read More

    Web optimization should be prioritized when your site is attracting traffic but not converting it.

    Here are some clear indicators you need to focus on making changes:

    • Low conversion rates

    • High bounce rates on key pages

    • Traffic quality looks good, but pipeline isn't growing

    • Slow site speed or poor mobile experience

    • Unclear or inconsistent messaging

    Your website is your storefront. Optimizing it increases ROI on every other channel–ads, SEO, social, you name it.

A customer-centric approach is key. Ask yourself: Are users finding what they need? Are they frustrated? Is the messaging uncl ...Read More
