Lead generation is not solely about driving traffic to your website. Yes! leads are important however, what gives the necessary clicks is the right alignment between web traffic and your message.
A good number of businesses online generate traffic but get no conversion from their Landing pages or websites.
A good thing to note is the type of traffic and where the traffic is coming from.
Inbound vs outbound traffic.
Inbound traffic are traffic from platforms like Google search, these types are generated when a consumer is actively searching for your service online through search, simply because they have a need and are aware of that need and are actively seeking the right service or solutions.
Outbound traffic are customers who are not searching for your service, we seek such consumers by going out to search for these consumers either through putting ads outside and people are invited to a specific page to take certain action through platforms like Facebook, ads, billboards, and mails.
So inbound traffic are from people actively searching for your service and linking to your website.
Outbound traffic are traffic responding to an ad directed to your landing pages or squeeze pages.
With inbound traffic the visitor’s lookout for your reputation online, reviews, and your overall brand. While outbound traffic are sold on your promotion. Leads from outbound traffic seek a different message different from inbound traffic, this messaging should be based on the logical sales journey whether inbound or outbound.
Visitors from inbound traffic seek to understand a different message, they ask questions about why they should consider your overall brand for their needs; with outbound traffic they seek to know why they should consider your offer or promoted service.
The purpose of your website is to appear in searches and show good reviews. Your website should seek actively to rank as No.1 within your niche.
Google AdWords is a good way to supplement inbound traffic.
