ENHANCE YOUR ECOMMERCE WEBSITE
OPTIMIZE YOUR L AYOUT
Your website is your new storefront, and it must provide the same level
of experience to your customers as your brick-and-mortar location. A
simple, intuitive layout with clear navigation and product pages provides
the useful information potential buyers need to make a decision, and
clear calls-to-action make purchasing simple. When auditing your site,
remember that the more steps you can remove from the buying process,
the more you increase chance that users will make a purchase.
CREATE ENGAGING CONTENT
You might have added ecommerce to your website, but that doesn’t mean
your content should consist only of product descriptions and calls to
action. In order to attract traffic and engage a long-term user base, you
need more enticing content. Add a blog section to the site and keep it
regularly updated with industry information, new products and offerings,
and behind the scene looks at your business and team. Your blogs, paired
with enticing visuals and targeted keywords, can help you communicate
your expertise, boost SEO, and attract customers.
FOCUS ON LOCAL SEO
Now that you’ve optimized your website, you need to reach your targeted audience. Learning search engine optimization strategies can feel
overwhelming, so start small and build your knowledge. Focusing on Local SEO, and specifically your Google My Business (GMB) Profile, will
help promote the visibility of your business online for free. Make sure you claim your GMB listing and fill out all your business information,
including new COVID-19 operations and distinguishing features. As customer reviews and questions come in, respond in a timely matter to
boost your online presence and connect with local customers.
BOOST TRAFFIC WITH
GOLOCALTAHOE.COM
The Tahoe Chamber launched the NEW
GOLocalTahoe.com website to act as a one-
stop, local shopping and dining guide for
residents and visitors. The new site features
South Shore restaurants and retailers in a
user-friendly digital marketplace that helps
drive traffic directly to business websites,
while also educating visitors on the
importance of spending locally.
