You’ve launched your website. It looks good, runs smoothly, and you’re getting traffic. But there’s one problem — people aren’t buying, signing up, or reaching out.
Let’s talk about why that might be happening and how to turn it around.
1. You’re Talking Too Much About Yourself
Most websites lead with “We are…” or “Our company does…”
Visitors don’t care — at least not right away. They’re looking for solutions to their problems. If your homepage isn’t immediately answering, “What’s in it for me?” they’ll bounce.
Fix it:
Start your homepage with a clear value proposition. What problem do you solve? How is life better after someone works with you?
✅ Example: “We help small businesses grow online through beautiful websites and lead generation that actually works.”
2. Your Call-to-Action is Confusing or Missing
You’d be surprised how many websites don’t clearly tell visitors what to do next. If you’re not asking people to take a specific action, most won’t.
Fix it:
Make your primary CTA simple, visible, and action-oriented. Stick to one main goal per page.
✅ Example: “Book a Free Call”
✅ Not: “Learn More, Read Blog, Download, Get in Touch, Sign Up Now…”
3. Your Pages Load Too Slowly
Speed matters. A slow site kills conversions. If your pages take more than 3 seconds to load, visitors will leave — especially on mobile.
Fix it:
Compress your images, use proper hosting, and run your site through tools like GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights.
4. You Don’t Have Social Proof
People trust people. If there are no testimonials, reviews, case studies, or client logos, you’re making it harder for potential customers to trust you.
Fix it:
Add real testimonials. Short, specific ones work best. Bonus points if you include a name, photo, or logo.

5. You’re Not Tracking What’s Working
If you’re not using analytics, heatmaps, or conversion tracking, you’re flying blind. You won’t know what’s driving conversions or what’s blocking them.
Fix it:
Install Google Analytics, set up conversion goals, and use tools like Hotjar or Clarity to see how users interact with your site.
