Website Leads

This one’s for Fritz, who asked us why we’ve been so quiet lately.

Why Does A periscopeUP Website Generate More Leads?

On sales calls, Eric-our-sales-guy often gets asked why the websites we build are able to generate so many leads. It’s not a simple question to answer to prospects who don’t understand interactive lead generation or technical website bable, plus there’s A LOT that goes into a website to get it to perform. Without giving away our secret sauce, here’s what we make sure to cover on every website build.

  • Strong calls to action. Give me a reason to call
  • Features & benefits selling, including your Unique Selling Proposition (why should I buy from you?)
  • Optimized to get you high in search engines
  • Compels people to take action. How will you help the customer sleep at night? (It’s about them, stupid!)

Local Search Engine Optimization Checklist

When optimizing a local business website, there’s a few additional things we do to ensure the site will do well. Our checklist for local SEO is below.

We define local search as either a search with the town name (“seo baltimore”) or any search that returns a pin map with local results.
