Conversion Optimisation

Conversion optimization is an extremely effective way to grow profits for a web based business.

A conversion occurs when a visitor to your website takes action to go beyond just viewing a site.  The visitor becomes a “conversion” when they register, submit details, buy or download on your website. There are several factors that contribute to the conversion rate on a website, such as design, form details, button positioning and even colours, but the higher the conversion rate the better your return on investment.

Our knowledgeable team know all about conversion techniques and tools and can optimise your site to ensure you get the best return.

The Internet Age is in full swing. At the end of March 2019 there were 32 million internet users in South Africa and this number is predicted to grow to over even more over the next few years.

Many businesses have yet to adapt and realise the importance of this trend and opportunity.  In fact, a number of businesses do not even have a website for their company.

In the eyes of a customer, having an attractive, easy to use website is a measure of sustainability, creditability and success. The major benefit of having a website is that it provides potential customers with a way to immediately find you and evaluate your product or service – it tells them what you are about and why you deserve their trust and confidence. A website is a silent sales person.

Social Media Strategy

Social media has the ability to build brand awareness and often results in higher levels of customer engagement.  This higher level of engagement is usually because the message is spread from user to user and is noticed because it does not come directly from the company but from a trusted source such as a friend or family member.  Social media marketing imitates the old success of word of mouth marketing but now takes place online, at a much faster pace to a larger national or even international audience.

Our experienced social media marketing team can effectively drive first class qualified visitors via various social channels to your website.
