Charlotte’s Top Tip

Make sure your writing content that is relevant and is on trend. If you write about just anything the end user may not be interested.

2. Drive Traffic To Your Website Using Keywords

Your competitors can be a great place to find keyword ideas, but they won’t be using all of them. There will be still many keywords that your competitors are not targeting and you can find these using keyword research tools.

All keyword research tools are very similar and work the same away. You simply put in a keyword and then the tool will pull up keyword ideas from their database.

The most popular keyword tool is Google Keyword Planner. It’s free to use, so that’s a big bonus too! it’s clever enough to show you keyword ideas that are relevant to the keyword you searched.

Make a list of all keywords and be sure to include them throughout your website copy including when writing blog posts to help drive traffic to your website!

Charlotte’s Top Tip

Make sure your list of keywords include localised keywords that apply to the location of your venue. Local SEO is very important!

3. Struggle To Capture People In With Titles?

Did you know that using questions in titles generates a higher click through rate (CTR) in fact a 14.1% higher CTR compared to titles that do not include a question.

When you are writing blog posts think about how you can use a title to draw people in, make them want to find out more including the answer to your question to increase traffic to your website.

You could even go through current content on your blog and change some of your titles and share them around your social media, it doesn’t just have to be done on new content going forward.

Charlotte’s Top Tip

When coming up with title idea’s you really need to think about the person you are writing for, make sure your question would make them want to read more to ensure they click to help increase traffic to your website. Remember, keep it simple and don’t over complicate it!

4. Get Social

If you are not already on social media, you are missing a trick! Social media is a great way to advertise your venue for free! Build a following, get posting and let the enquiries flow in!

One of the easier and cheapest ways to drive traffic to your website is to use Instagram stories when you have 10k followers you will be able to use their ‘swipe up’ function where you can add a link to a URL and send the user to it, this is a great way to easily drive traffic.

When posting to your Insta grid don’t forget to drive them to the link in your bio to find out more. You can use a tool like Link Tree to display a list of URL’s so you don’t need to change the link to the relevant one when you post.

Facebook posts are a great way to drive traffic to your website as you can share a link in these and it will be a hyperlink to the URL you have posted.

In many Facebook Groups, they have days like Social Saturdays where you can share links to your website, be sure to join in these too!

A great way to create noise on Social Media Platforms is to do contests and giveaways, it gets people sharing about your brand, visiting your website and shouting about you online!

Charlotte’s Top Tip

I know creating graphics to share on socials can seem like a long task but I would recommend using Canva which have free templates the correct size and you can simply drop your logo, images and content into them!

5. Spend Money To Make Money

Sometimes not everything is free and there is no way around it. You’ve got to invest something in your business to get something back and a great way to do this is to use Ads to drive traffic to your website.

There are different types of Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads and Google Ads. The cheapest is Instagram Ads but these can be run across Facebook too, as Facebook owns Instagram!

Simply set a budget, target your audience, and create your ad!

Charlotte’s Top Tip

6. Share Your Knowledge

Be the expert in your field. Create content to give away to your end user, whether this is templates that can be used, top tips or even some free guides. Users love free content that will help them improve their product/service.

The content can be something as simple as a budget excel spreadsheet, it all depends on your industry but it needs to be something will be draw the end user in and will make them want to download it.

Once they are on your website you can then use this to capture data. For example, you can ask them to enter their email address before they download the free content.

You can then use this information to re market to them!

Driving traffic to your website is important. You can then use this data to upload to Facebook Ads to re market to and create ‘look a like’ audiences to help you maximise your reach!

7. Land In Their Mailbox

We all love marketing that does not break the bank! Email marketing is an affordable way to reach a large audience for a very small price.

The only price you pay is for your email marketing software. Mailchimp and Send In Blue are great and affordable to use for this.
