Audience Motivations & Website Optimization
Convert Visitors Into Customers
Part 1: Map the Online Decision-Making Process of Your Target Audience
First we will develop what's known as a user persona of your website visitor, similar to a target audience profile but specifically for online. Then together we will map out the criteria under which these folks judge you. We'll also look at your competition. This information is vital to improve how useful and enjoyable your site is for visitors, and also for improving your website conversions (visitors who become customers). If you've signed up for Part 2, you'll be using this to evaluate your website. Laptop optional.
Part 2: Website Audit for Best Practices & Conversion Optimization
This will be an intensive work session where we will comb through several key pages of your website to evaluate it against your target audience's decision-making process, industry best practices, and user experience strategies to make it easy for visitors to take action or become customers. Attendees will leave with a detailed audit report which can be used as a to-do list for site edits. Bring a laptop.
