First milestones of your website
With all the work that can go into a website, it may be good for morale to set some milestones and celebrate them with your staff. A website may have the goal of increasing conversion rates, attracting more visitors, or simply setting a content milestone. Whatever your website looks like, making your business more visible online often takes a lot of work. This blog post is about how to deal with the small or big successes your website has already achieved. Let's get started.
A website can be considered as something alive, it needs attention, in the form of updates, content and security. And it can never stand still. With a website, you can contact customers in the form of emails and messages. You can make sure that new customers and visitors can find you. You can advertise on the largest search network in the world. And share your products, blog posts, content or work with internet users around the world. It doesn't matter if you are doing this for yourself for personal reasons. A freelancer looking for your new project. An SME looking to expand or a multinational company. A website can make a difference for everyone.
The first thousand visitors in a month
A website needs visitors to sell something, read something or perform some other action on your website. Without visitors, you might as well leave your website in the closet. Getting those first visitors is still sometimes a difficult task. Of course, you can use your marketing budget for this. But again, it's important that you see some ROI. Often, the goal of businesses and even bloggers is to get visitors from organic results. In other words, traffic that doesn't need to be paid for (directly). You can get these organic visitors from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and other search engines. Social media like Pinterest, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and many more.
However, organic results are not as immediate as paid resources. Therefore, it is often essential to start early and make an effort to get them. On the other hand, with Google and other search engines, it can take up to 5 months for your article, page or blog post to appear anywhere near the first page. And often, it won't be anywhere near that. Your competitors have probably been doing this for many years to dominate the search results. The right SEO strategy is therefore extremely important, MijnWebdesignPartner.nl can help you with this. Take a look at our services or start a conversation to see what we can do for you.
The first thousand visitors in a month can often be very motivating. Imagine 1000 people standing in your store or listening to you. Of course, even after that milestone, the work continues. A thousand visitors to a website is a good start, but not nearly enough for most websites to make a living. You only have a small percentage of conversions. Or advertising revenue: 1000 visitors usually brings a website between 1 and 50 euros in advertising revenue. This of course depends on a variety of factors. With a business website, this can of course be more, thanks to direct sales of products. Also a web shop has of course other revenues than advertising.
The first 50 contents
Content can come in many forms and can be created outside of hosting your website. Think about content for social media, for example. For most websites, content is presented in the form of pages, such as a dedicated landing page. A product page in a web store. Or a blog post where you target various longer-term keywords. Content is often the biggest part of a website's work. A typical blog post is about 600 to 2500 words or more. Do that times fifty and you have an idea of how many words that can be on a website. Most writers can put down 1000 words in an hour on a good day. Now it's on to formatting, choosing and creating images and other media like tables and charts. Sharing on social media and advertising. And you've already put a day's work into creating content for a website.
So the first 50 pieces of content, of any kind, for your website can already be an important first milestone. Don't ignore it and celebrate it with your team, however small.
Listing on the first page of Google with a specific keyword.
Anyone who has been involved with SEO or search engine optimization for a while looks forward to the day when their website is on the first page. Especially if it is one of your targeted keywords. As the saying goes, where's the best place to hide a body? The second page of Google. Anything outside of the first page of results is nice, but doesn't contribute much to your website's results. Therefore, being on the first page with a keyword is an achievement. So don't let this go unnoticed and use Google Search Console to track your website's results on the Google search network.
The first 100 followers on social media
The first 100 followers on social media can also be useful for your marketing because with a certain number of followers on social media, you will see more likes and share actions. In the beginning, you only needed this from your employees. Once you reach the first 100 followers, you can work on boosting your website's performance on social media.
