Your website can be a lead-generating machine, but only if visitors can easily find what they need and know what to do next. You don’t need a full redesign to start seeing results; a few thoughtful tweaks can go a long way.
Here are 6 practical ways to optimize your website for conversions, plus tips on how a little help can make them even more effective.
1. Keep Forms Simple
Long, complicated forms are a conversion killer. Ask only for the essentials, like name and email, and save the rest for later.
Pro tip: A shorter form = more completions, but you can supplement with a secondary landing page to request more information after leads filled out the first step in the form.
2. Make CTAs Clear and Compelling
Your call-to-action buttons should tell people exactly what to do, using action words that inspire movement. Can you recall when you last read a “Learn More” button on a Facebook ad? Neither can I. But the CTAs I do remember are the ones that are a little bolder, like “Oh Hell Yeah, Sign Me Up.”
But don’t forget that basics like “Book Your Strategy Session” or “Grab Your Free Guide” are always welcome!
And btw, you can make them stand out visually, too. Feel free to play around with pops of color and font variations.
3. Show Social Proof
Testimonials, reviews, and logos of trusted partners instantly boost credibility. People convert faster when they know others have had a positive experience.
A well-placed headshot of the testimonial reviewer next to their quote can build trust even further!
4. Speed Up Your Site
Visitors bounce if your site takes too long to load. Optimize images, minimize extra code, and check speed with Google PageSpeed Insights.
Quick tip: You can’t fix what you can’t see, sometimes a small technical or copy adjustment can drastically improve engagement.
5. Focus Your Landing Page to One Goal
Focus on one goal per page, whether it’s collecting leads, getting sign-ups, or driving sales. Keep distractions to a minimum, and lead visitors to a clear next step.
Quick tip: Want a landing page that nurtures users from interest to action? That’s exactly what I help with.
6. Test Your Copy (Seriously, Test Everything)
Small changes in headlines, button placement, or phrasing can lead to major gains. Test one element at a time to know what’s really working.
If testing feels overwhelming, I can help you prioritize experiments that move the needle.
