Why Isn’t Anyone Visiting My Website?

You’ve invested time and money into designing the perfect website for your company thinking business will increase, but you’re not seeing results—what’s the problem? Perhaps your site lacks web traffic and in order to increase exposure, you must do these three things:

Search Engine Optimization

Are you utilizing SEO? Most web traffic will come from search engines, so your site needs to be optimized for specific keywords in order to get to the top of search engine results.Note: Most consumers typically browse only the first page of search engine results for products and services, and getting in the top results can be tough. There are definitely measures you can take which will increase organic traffic, but with Google’s constantly evolving algorithm it pays to have an expert craft a professional SEO strategy. Fortress specializes in SEO so contact us if you’re looking to stay on top of the market.

Social Media

Are you using social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any other applicable sources properly? These tools are hyper popular and are a must to successful promotion of your website. Social media tools have the ability to share information to a large and diverse group of people in an instant. Not to mention, gaining new contacts, building relationships, sharing interests and increasing sales are real potential bonuses.

Interaction

What is the first thing a visitor sees on your homepage? Do you have a contact tab clearly visible and accessible to viewers? In other words, is your website user-friendly? If your site isn’t easy to navigate, you might be driving away potential customers. Make sure to plan where you want visitors to start, where you want them to go and how they can contact you if they have any questions or simply want to get in touch. And most importantly, make sure to respond to any inquiries!

The internet is a big space and, in order to get authentic traffic to your site, you need a plan to implement SEO, social media and interaction.

In the world of branding, a slogan is akin to a thesis, establishing values and rearranging perceptions with every word. Think about the brands you love; chances are, they have connected with you through their written words. A great slogan is a condensed mission statement, reminding the consumer that they and the brand share the same attitude towards the world; that they and the brand are friends, willing to do right by one another. In this blog, we are going to discuss the significance of slogans, provide insight on what to do and what not to do when crafting a slogan, and reference case studies of brands that Fortress has helped discover slogans and taglines for through our Branding and Corporate Identity Services

 

The Best Slogans in the World

 

We all know these slogans, but do we know what makes them so memorable? Let’s start with Nike’s “Just Do It.” This slogan is brilliant for a few reasons; it is extremely brief at only three words and eight letters; it is motivational and fits with their brand philosophy of pushing one’s physical limits and being prepared for adventure; and lastly it is works as as a subliminal message that helps users make their decision to buy from Nike. Debating on getting that new pair of running shoes? “Just Do It.” Enough said.

 

Next up, Apple. Their iconic slogan, “Think Different,” encapsulates the very essence of their brand philosophy. It’s not just a call to buy their products; it’s an invitation to embrace innovation and individuality. In just two words, they’ve managed to capture the spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo and break new ground.
