Youâre at a dinner party with the first friends youâve made since the pandemic. You politely excuse yourself to the bathroom, but once there, you realize thereâs not enough toilet paper to do your business and you have NO clue where to find more.
Thereâs not one of those handy organizers or a stack on the back of the toilet, so now youâre left wondering if your new friends are the kind of people who shove a few extra rolls under the sink or if theyâre the professionally organized closet TP stash kind of people.
And whatâs the etiquette for asking? Do you interrupt your partnerâs story about their slightly out-of-touch boss to ask for toilet paper?
I donât know about you, but just imagining this situation has got me SWEATINâ. đĽľ
Thatâs what it feels like when a potential client lands on your website from Pinterest and doesnât know where to go next.
- If you promised them a free download, where is it?
- Are your services clearly linked in your navigation?
- Do you have your pricing laid out or a way to contact you?
- Or at the very least, are you at least including plenty of calls to action to tell your new digital visitor where to go and what to do next?
Donât leave your potential clients sweating in your online bathroom, First name / dude.
Because while Pinterest can get people to your website (and lots of them), it canât guarantee the conversion. đ¸âď¸
But we can set you up for success today with these tips:
1. Make sure all your links are accessible to all pages of your website.
Iâm glad youâve got your lead magnet linked in your IG bio, but people landing on your page from Pinterest canât find it! Add an opt-in form to your blog posts, home page, wherever!
2. Make it easy for people to inquire to work with you.
I want you to book those high-ticket clients as much as you do! So make it crystal clear exactly how new website visitors can do that with contact forms or booking links on every page.
3. Sprinkle your website with CTAs.
The biggest missed opportunity I see is with business owners who have the best intentions in mind to provide value to their audience in their blog posts. But at the end of the blog, the readers are left wondering âWhat now?â
(back to the whole undesirable sweaty-bathroom sitch)
You donât always have to be pitching your services, but donât miss out on the opportunity to drive people to your email list, follow you on IG, or learn more about your services!
Below are a few examples you can steal from my CTA stockpile & p.s. you can save this on Pinterest for later đ
