How to get better conversion optimization

Keep visitors on your website longer

Did you know that Google interprets the length of time a visitor spends on a website? In fact, the time spent on a website is one of the ranking factors that Google considers. When a visitor spends less time on the website or he clicks the exit button as soon as he lands on the page, then for Google this means that the website is not relevant to the search term.

On the other hand, when a visitor spends more time on the website, Google sees your website as a valuable source of information for the search term.

Thus, your goal now is to keep visitors longer on your website. You can do this through video content. This is the easiest and quickest way to retain visitor’s attention on your website.

There are a lot of advantages when choosing to feed your audience with video content. Since video is very engaging, you can increase your visitor’s time on the site. Additionally, you can also convey your message better with video.

Video content is a good marketing strategy for you to convert more customers.

 

Get a high site speed score

Site speed is another ranking factor of Google. Your website should have a good page loading speed for a better user experience. Google sees the value of a good user experience and thus when your website is slow loading, it lowers the user experience rate. An this in turn affects your ranking score as well.
