Make the website mobile friendly
According to a study, daily mobile internet consumption per person will touch 79 minutes in 2021. So the experience of our website in smartphones will decide the future of our business. A well maintained website with mobile friendly features will definitely help a business to flourish. According to the findings, Indians are spending an average of 320 minutes a day consuming media across platforms, up from 270 minutes in 2013.
Because of this shift in consumer online behavior, your digital marketing strategy needs to shift to focus on mobile as well. If you don’t have a mobile website, more than half of your potential customers are going elsewhere. Think about the lifetime value of a single customer.
Do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for the website
SEO is the process of making your site rank as high as possible in Google or other search engines when someone types a keyword related to your services or products. The higher your site ranks, the more visible your business is, and the more traffic and sales your business is likely to generate.
The good news is that there are plenty of excellent tools you can use to tackle on-site SEO and get the data you need to improve your ranking. When you optimize your website/blog properly using the targeted keywords of your business, search engines rank your website in the search results, making it easily visible to the users.
Advertise on Social Media platforms
With billions of users collectively using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatsapp, and more you would be crazy not to use social advertising to your advantage. Implementing a social media strategy will greatly increase your brand recognition.
Every social media profile you add to your marketing is an advertisement for your website. Social media’s power is commendable as you get to reach a large number of people within seconds of posting an ad, helping you reduce your costs, and making your ads reach out to your potential audience.
Make ‘super’ contents for the readers
In the past five to ten years, the web has transformed buying behaviour. In the past, if a potential client wanted information about your services or products, he would call your customer care office to get the details. Today, the customer will search on Google or social media about our services, testimonials about the services or products and rating, before contacting us.
Content is valuable and gets people engaged; keeping current customers and targeting a wide, new audience. Content not only helps you build trust and connect with your target audience, but also acts as fuel for your other marketing techniques. If people are to be expected to put up with turning on a computer to read a screen, they must be rewarded with deep and extremely up-to-date information that they can explore at will. Ensure that you are making an investment in the future of your content.
Analyze and target your audience
In order to attract potential customers not only to a website, but also convert them into actual buyers, you have to find out who is your target group. Ask yourself what problems your products and services solve, and, in turn, to whom they appeal. Targeting a customer base depends on the income, gender, education, occupation, social status and age of the customers.
First you need necessary data about the customers to analyze and target them. Where do you get this data? From social media, using surveys and polls, and finding popular keywords related to your services are a few ways to get primary data. Analytics tools like Alexa and Google Trends give you important data for assessing competitors.
Use B2B business platforms for lead generation
Leads are people who are coming to your website and filling out forms to contact you, or dialing your phone number or email you. Without a well-designed, optimized website, all your lead generation and digital marketing efforts will go to waste. It’s an essential prerequisite for any other strategy to work. LinkedIn is the most effective social media platform for B2B lead generation, according to many companies.

Quora can be the first step in building mouth popularity. Quora is excellent at generating organic awareness, improving your reputation and even helping you to learn more about your audience.
Make videos about your products or services and publish in youtube
