How the process of internet lead generation works
Before a website visitor will give you there contact information and convert into a lead, they must proceed in this order through 5 trackable actions. These are the conversion metrics:
1) Click-thru-rate (CTR) – The click through rate is typically influenced marketing messages that peak your customers interest. This is step 1 in the lead generation process. You must have quality traffic to your website that is from qualified prospects within the buying cycle.
2) Bounce Rate – This is how quickly your visitor hits your website and then leaves your website. The quickest way to improve leads is to focus on the visitors that are leaving your site without responding. The average lead generation website has between a 75 – 90% bounce rate. That means 75-90% of your website visitors leave the website after looking at only 1 of your webpages.
It is pointless to try and generate traffic to a site that fails to engage them beyond this second step unless the bounce rate is lower than 40%.
3) Time on Page/Site – These 2 metrics determine how long your visitor stays on and engage your website. If your customers are not engaged through each of the 7 steps of the sales cycle, they will abandon your website and most likely never return.
4) Steps into Website Sales Funnel – These are the steps that immediately preceed when a customer will either call you or submit their information. The steps in the funnel are the specific actions before your visitors will do one of the following: submit a lead form request/signup, or pickup the phone and call your business.
5) Completed Calls To Action (CTA) – These are the actions of completed goals. Measuring the abandonment rate is a critical step to increase internet leads.
Your visitors must progress through the above 5 conversion steps before a sale can happen.
