As A Business What is Your Ultimate Online Goal?
Traffic?
WELL TRIED ….
Imagine opening up an ethnic garment store in your locality. People throng to see your store for its variety and fashion.
Sadly, your collection is high priced for their budgets and they leave without a purchase. Is your business winning in spite of the big flow of traffic?
RELEVANT TRAFFIC should be the keyword here.
VALUE of traffic far outweighs the VOLUME of traffic.
Let’s get talking about.how to generate relevant traffic for your business.
Rankings?
WELL TRIED … But SADLY this is an age old belief now!
MYTH: High Rankings = High Traffic = Roaring Business
Businesses have burned cash in this approach with little or no results, in addition to frustration and stress. There are a million campaigns out there where websites are ranking on Page 1 (or even Top 3 positions) of Google/Bing search.
Rankings don’t ensure
- Relevant Traffic (they may source a ton of irrelevant traffic but no business)
- Traffic Volume (the keyword isn’t searched enough to make a business case)
In very niche business cases, rankings may prove beneficial and give relevant results.
E.g. if you have a grocery store in Green Meadows serving a smaller community, then even 20 searches for term “Grocery Store Within 1 Mile Of my Location” from Green Meadows will yield relevant and business traffic. Get the point?
Rankings also act as a great BRANDING signal for your business though.
Ranking on Page 1 is like being in the top 1% of your classroom in grades. You get those admiration stares from the crowd.
Brand companies need this feature to showcase their dominant market position.

Leads?
Bingo !!! you have the pulse of the market!
93% businesses expect to generate leads from the online, digital or any marketing effort.
Irrelevant traffic to your business from Google rankings is a massive cost.
Cost of connecting with the traffic through calls, emails, follow-ups is massive.
To top that – 90% of this traffic does not intend to do business with you (atleast not at the moment) for various reasons like competition, value for their money and brand perception.
What If, our sales teams would receive prospects that match my business deliverables? That would save/improve.
- Connect and Orientation time
- Administrative Costs
