If you’re planning on growing your business, you already know that one of the most important steps you need to take is increasing your online presence. Whether you’re a large company with one thousand-plus employees or your entire company consists of you and a MacBook Pro, your company’s online presence will have everything to do with how well your business ends up doing.

Having a set online plan in place will make all of the difference in how potential customers and clients react to your online presence. Here are six tips to help grow your business in the digital arena.

Write Out the Goals That What You Want Your Company to Achieve

Every company owner has goals by which they measure their success. By having clearly defined goals, you’ll know exactly what you’re working towards. Think about the following when determining what success looks like for you.

Quantifying Profits

Figure out how much profit you want to make. Put a real dollar amount on it. Putting that dollar amount down on paper will help you figure out exactly what you need to do to reach it.

Non-Quantitative Goals

Think about your non-monetary or profit-related goals. Maybe it’s something that you wish to accomplish with your product. Maybe it’s a certain customer satisfaction level that you wish to reach. There are plenty of goals that have less to do with profits and more to do with enhancing the soul of your company so that it brings you joy on every level.

Action Plan

Come up with an action plan that you will be able to initiate if you find yourself falling short of your goals. Instead of looking at “falling short” as a failure, look at it as an opportunity for learning. Have systems in place that allow you to assess what went wrong and what you need to do to make things right.

Enhance and Develop Your Company’s Digital Footprint and Online Presence

Thanks to mobile smart phones, laptops that are thin and light enough to carry everywhere, and apps that make running your company and managing its processes a breeze, you can make your company accessible to people all over the country and the world within seconds. This means that at any moment, people could be online and assessing your product. Make their visit worth their while.

Prioritize Engagement

Make sure that the process of engagement for your potential and current customers is as easy as possible. Make sure that forms are easy to fill out, your content is easy to reach, and your contact information is front and center. The last thing you want to do is to turn off a customer because the information they’re looking for is not easily accessible.

Create an Attractive, Accessible Website

Make sure that your website is engaging, pleasing to look at, and represents the product that you’re selling in the best possible light. People have certain expectations of what a website will look like based on the products that they’re looking for, so make sure that your site meets those expectations.

Invest in the best website that you can afford. Even if you can’t afford the services of a high-end website design company, there are plenty of easy-to-use, elegant website templates that are essentially plug-and-play. You can hire a more affordable designer to create the look that you want without going beyond your budget.

Create Engaging, Interesting Content

The content you create is critical to obtaining and retaining customers.

  • Make sure that you publish content on a regular basis in order to encourage and foster engagement. The content should be written in the voice that your audience expects.
  • Make sure that it’s interesting, encouraging them to come back for more. You want to be known as the go-to informer in your industry.
  • Focus on your intros, drawing people in with content that’s exciting and relevant. Add beautiful images and infographics to space the content out.

Content is arguably the most important part of your site. With valuable information, visitors will be drawn to your website. More visitors means more eyes seeing your products or services and therefore more conversions.
