5 Ways Websites Fail

I’d like you to spend a lot of time thinking about your own website, since your customers and clients certainly won’t if you fall prey to any of the reasons why small business websites fail:

  • They are not found on local search engines for obvious phrases (seriously, it takes all of a few minutes to claim a Google Local and Yahoo Local listing)
  • The website was launched in 1998 and hasn’t been updated since
  • There is no conversion form or method of capturing visitors intent
  • Not enough content (or alternatively, too much pretentious jargon)
  • It’s just plain ugly
