Typically, the summer months for many ecommerce sites and bloggers takes a hit. Engagement is low, revenue plateaus, and businesses become frustrated. The days get shorter, and soon the warmth and sunshine of the summer months will be long gone. Kids will go back to school and you can rejoice because the summer slump is ending. Fall is on the horizon and opportunity is knocking.
So that begs the question: Are you ready for an increase in traffic?
In case you’re not sure and fear a potential traffic jam, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few tips to ensure things keep moving smoothly.
Comprehensive Website Audit
The performance of your website is the result of many variables working together. That’s why you need a truly robust audit that looks at SEO, Paid Campaigns, Technical, Backlink Profile, Competitors, and Analytics. Combined, these audits give you a clear idea of how your site is performing, and where it can be improved.
A comprehensive website audit identifies issues and fixes that will ensure you don’t hit a road block. We recommend scheduling audits for your website on a regular basis. How often will depend on the condition of your website.
Follow up
Face it, many projects hit the back seat during the summer. It seems that every email in your inbox is coming from auto-responders- “out of office.” This is the time to reconnect.
You may have a better chance of catching people in the office now, plus new opportunities may pop up that you can tackle before year end.
