Wrong visitors
Traffic from searches with no buying intent will never convert. Check what the terms actually are.
Problem
Traffic, but no enquiries
Almost always one of four things, and only one of them is the design.
The short answer
If people are arriving and not contacting you, the problem is usually that the site does not say clearly who it is for, does not make the next step obvious, asks for too much too early, or is attracting the wrong visitors in the first place.
Design is rarely the culprit. A plain site that answers the visitor's question and makes contact effortless will out-convert a beautiful one that does neither.
No obvious next step
If the action is a Contact link in the nav and nothing else, you are relying on motivation you have not earned.
Asking too much, too early
A twelve-field form before any trust is built. Ask for the minimum that lets you reply.
No reason to choose you
Nothing on the page separates you from the three other tabs they have open.
Slow on a phone
Most visits are mobile. A slow page loses people before they read anything.
No proof
Real work, real names, real numbers. Proof does more than any amount of persuasion.
FAQ
Common questions
How do I know which one it is?
Analytics tells you where they leave, and search data tells you what they wanted. Those two usually name the problem in an afternoon. Guessing and redesigning is the expensive route.
Do I need a full redesign?
Usually not. Most conversion problems are fixed with structure, copy and a clearer path, not a rebuild. We would rather fix the page than sell you a project.
