How To Increase Engagement on Your Website

Driving More Site Visits, Longer Sessions & Higher Conversion Rates

You’ve invested heavily into driving traffic to your B2B website through SEO, paid media, and other marketing efforts. But is your site truly capitalizing on those hard-earned visits? Or are you plagued by low engagement metrics like high bounce rates and short sessions? Looking to upgrade your site to a high-performing site? Let’s dive into how to increase engagement on your website.

For your website to be an effective lead-generation engine, it’s critical that you optimize the total user experience through a strategic blend of website content, visuals, and design. When done properly, visitors will find your site engaging, informative, and sticky — increasing the likelihood of a conversion.

7 Steps to Increasing Your Website’s Engagement Rates

Here are seven ways to leverage website content, design, and visuals to boost user engagement and maximize results:

1. Develop a Content Plan Built Around User Intent & Interests. Conduct keyword research, build user personas and map website content to each stage of the buyer’s journey. Provide the right content when users need it most.
2. Optimize Content Structure, Formatting & Readability. Use proper header structures, bulleted lists, visuals, and content chunks to improve scannability and on-page time. Walls of text lead to quick exits.
3. Incorporate Multimedia Like Video, Interactive Tools & Animations. Users expect modern, rich website experiences. Dynamic elements increase dwell time by making content more consumable.
4. Enhance Content & Design for Accessibility. Ensure text has sufficient color contrast, include alt-text for images, make video captioned, and allow website navigation solely via keyboard.
5. Design Consistent, Intuitive User Flows & Navigation. Users should feel oriented with a clear hierarchy and path to complete desired actions, not overwhelmed trying to find what they need.
6. Tell a Cohesive Brand Story Through Content & Visuals. A unified brand message, voice, and visual identity provides continuity across all your site’s pages for a professional, trusted experience.
7. Utilize Smart CTAs & Lead Capture Opportunities. Place strategic CTAs and lead forms throughout the user journey to capitalize on increased interest and engagement.
