7 “Lessons”

search for solutions to their
     problems online

       organic result
  22% to the second entry
<2% of people go to page 2
Lesson 1:

Get found!

             Not just Google ...
What did you see?

What do people see in the
 first 3 to 5 seconds after
     they arrive at your
          website?
As soon as you recognise a word ...
60% of people see the word “Love”

 35% of people see 1 of 3 words
“Courage” “Knowledge” “Family”

5% of people will see some other
         random word!
Lesson 2:

Don’t ignore the 5 second rule!
When visitors first come to
your website, what are they
      interested in?

          You?
          Themselves?
So why do so many website
 home pages focus on the
 business and the business
          owner?
Focus on the visitor:
•Their problems
•Their needs/wants/desires




    Tip: count the number of “we”s, “I”s,
          “me”s, vs the number of “you”s
Lesson 3:

It’s all about ... who?
Lesson 3a:

Your website has to be very
easy for you to change!
Is it really you??????

passing
traffic?
Lesson 6:

Don’t let 99% of your traffic slip
away ..............
Who visits your website?

         How?
Maybe 25% to 50% of
   your traffic is
     “mobile”
How does your website work
on a mobile?
Lesson 7:

It’s time to mobilise!
