This can be a daunting task if you are new to the topic. However, choosing a website requirement plan is not as alien as it might seem. As every website aims to deliver a specific goal, here are 5 points you must check before you nail your website plan:

Who’s the Boss?

Yes, you got it right. It’s the audience or the users. Okay, if you did not get it right you must be wondering why? Well, let us explore this idea.
The audience is your customer and identifying them is the key to getting traffic to your website and have organic growth for people who need the value you are providing. First, figure out the type of user that your website is going to target and attract. Make a list of the prospective and returning customers to understand the type of people regularly visiting your website. Identify the priority of your audience. If you follow these simple steps, it will help you structure your website and stand out in the crowd.

Let’s get some bees buzz in here then.

Your need is our need

Imagine yourself as a prospective customer. You are scrolling through the website that you created. What would make you not click to another website, and what would make you come back to this very website. A way of figuring this is to set a parameter for your ideal client, and answer the two questions:

What are they here for? How can you help them?

This parameter clarifies the needs you are appealing to and targeting to meet for your customers. The next step is to build trust and credibility. Your website needs to be able to provide a solution for the customer’s problem. Provide a little background detailing the problem and give an easy to understand layout of how you intend to solve it for them. This should do the trick.

Oh, and this part will help your agency understand your industry better.

What’s your selling point?

Is there a race without competitors? Of course not!

Learn what you should do and what you shouldn’t from them. Observe and understand what will set you apart. Is it the design, unique tools, key functionality, typography, layout, market offers, or User Interface/ User Experience (UI/UX) which will sell your pages? Ask yourself. Additionally, be sure to work to your strengths.

Once you have the answer, do not forget to tell your local SEO agency which aspect of your website you want to reach your users the most or which ones should go under pay-per-click advertising.

Let’s sell what we’ve got

You could have a website running for years, providing consistent and regular content. However, you do not attract a single visitor. Why? because nobody realizes you are out there. What you are providing is not getting put in front of the consumer’s eyes. This is where digital marketing comes into play.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media platforms, and email marketing are a few which you can depend on for boosting your trade. If these words seem alien and overwhelming, do not worry about it. As you learn more about it the easier and more comfortable you get with those ideas.

Make it count

How do you make it count? This is where you use the B-word. Budget (of course). Be clear about what you intend to do with your website and be transparent about the budget when you first approach agencies. A clear budget allows the agencies to consult you the best for your advantage.
