Looks like you have a weak web presence. You do have a website, which is a great first step, but it isn’t helping increase profit and enhance your ROI. Nowadays, people are turning to the internet first to find solutions to their problems. Your website has several jobs in this process. First, it needs to be able to be found. Second, it needs to have content that will convince the visitor that your company can solve their problem. All the while it needs to be reliable, functioning well, and easy to navigate. Maybe you’re not an internet scientist, but you don’t have to be. Analysis is one of the great friends to you on the Web.
