Lead Generation That Brings The Good Leads to You

Get More Leads

Is Your Lead Generation Leading To Sales?

When it comes to closing the sale, the Lead Generation beginning is just as crucial as signing that contract. Often the biggest headache for a sales force is not getting leads but getting the “good lead.” The internet, and particularly Google, has become the primary source for customers and clients to seek out the answer to their unique need. A quick organic search can frequently lead to a company being overlooked or a customer becoming frustrated with incorrect results that do not meet their needs. However for businesses that do find their way to the prominent 1st Page of Google, being found by ALL searches can be just as detrimental as not being found at all. Proper lead generation means not only rising to the top of Google but, coming up to the top of the right searches.

lead generation_themauldingroup_seoSEO (search engine optimization) and complex Google algorithms have made good lead generation a challenging task in the digital world. No longer is a few keywords sprinkled over a website going to cut it. Companies instead need a continuous feed of fresh content that is written specific to their services and a strategically developed website that gives potential customers the information they are searching for in front of them in seconds.

Some of the most common mistakes that discourage good lead generation are:

  • A Disorganized Home Page – Your website’s Home Page needs to clearly and QUICKLY promote your product and services. A website visitor should be able to instantly know:
    • WHO you are.
    • WHAT products or services you offer.
    • HOW to reach you.

If a website visitor cannot find instantly what they are looking for from your Home Page or if they are unclear who your business is, they will not stick around to find out more.

  • Using the WRONG keywords in your content – Keywords are necessary for driving good lead generation. A carefully constructed website will provide interesting content that doesn’t just have keywords, but has the RIGHT keywords for both their products and their unique customers. For example, a search of the words Flow Control can provide results for technology and office management as well as fluids and gas.

If I am the supervisor of a machine shop whose hydraulic flow control valve has just malfunctioned and shut down production, the last place I need to be is on a website offering data flow control. Your content should offer the unique keywords to meet your unique customer with the unique service or product they need.

  • A Menu That Is Not User Friendly – You’ve been there, you find the company you are looking for but have to click all over to find the specific service you need. Average website visitors will only be on a webpage 15 seconds! If they can’t find it by then, they are gone. Not only your Home Page should offer quick links to services, but also the top navigation, and sometimes a sidebar menu, should aid quick customer access.
  • A CTA is Missing – Especially crucial for lead generation is a good CTA (Call to Action). How is your customer going to reach you to make the purchase if there is no clear way to get them to you? Every website should have a clear CTA option. The best companies offer both a graphical CTA, such as a “Request a Quote” button or contact form and hyperlinks within the written content as well. Offer your potential customers multiple ways to easily contact you.
