Hey guys, I started this website SeoRun | High Quality SEO at affordable prices! about a month ago, and I've invested $80 into ad space on websites that are related to my services. I personally think the design of my site is nice, clean, and affordable, but I can't make any sales. I don't know why...

So far these are my advertising stats.

108,099 Impressions
244 Clicks
0 Sales

I would appreciate any feedback.

    Are you building an e-mail list? It's best to capture your traffic to your e-mail list, so you can e-mail them in the future to promote your services. You'll make more sales this way.

    Hi there, saw ur site. Looks decent but does have a strong call to actions for visitors.
    you might wanna include some testimonials once you have sales.

    Just my 2 cents~

    Cheers

    Great looking site BTW....

    Maybe you should have a site or two of your own and rank them as well and show the results, the issue these days is that with all the hype over Google's fluffy pets, people are reluctant to spend the money unless there is some kind of proof this works.

    Like JT said, have some tesimonials too, I know it sounds crazy but perhaps offer a few people on the WF free service just to get those testimonials thenn you have happy customers and proof which builds credability. This is how most business's get the clients by giving stuff away.... even if you do a reduced rate for fellow warriors it will still serve as credability.

    Well done with the site though it looks really top notch

    I agree with Rocky. You should integrate a form on their to capture the visitors email address. This way you can continue to follow up with them, which will dramatically increase your chances of making a sale.

    Continue with your promotions. Just because you are getting traffic to your site does not mean that everyone will buy something. Also make sure that the ad source is good.

    Make sure to also capture emails of people. Put your opt in box at the TOP of the page where it is easy to see and not have to navigate down on that page.

    i went to your site and tried to see it as a prospect
    and someone who would be interested in your services.

    one thing really stuck out to me.

    I couldn't really find a big reason to go with
    you and not one of the other thousands of seo services.

    I didn't see why you were the obvious choice and the
    go-to person.

    now, i'm not saying that to be mean, i'm saying that
    as your prospect... you can be sure they are thinking
    that.

    So i would really focus on creating a killer USP,
    or Unique Selling Position/Proposition

    In other words, what makes you different/unique/better than
    all the other SEO services.

    It's gotta be something you can
    offer that no one else CLAIMS they
    offer.

    in other words, maybe you offer
    something that you know is a huge
    selling point, but none of your competitors
    ever mention it.

    that's a great usp!

    Honestly, most marketers won't put much thought into it,
    but you can be sure your market and prospects are putting
    a LOT of thought into it.

    We all have a ton of choices we can make in our lives.

    Why should we go with one person/service over another.

    That's what your USP (unique selling proposition) answers
    for your prospects... it's saying "here's why i am better,
    different, and unique than all the rest"

    Domino's used to use "fresh hot pizza in 30 minutes or less"

    Fed Ex was "when it absolutely, positively has to be there
    overnight"

    so work on your USP and what makes you the logical choice to go with,
    why you should be the one they do business with.

    In a sea of choices in the seo market,
    you have to stand out as the one to go with.

    once you find that hook... stand on your soap box
    and preach it aloud.

    Keep advertising and marketing!
    Just because you dont' see sales now doesn't mean the next visitor won't buy.
    Also be sure you have a form on your site to capture opt ins.
    God Bless! Don't quit!

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for the great feedback! I see a lot of you guys are saying to have an optin, and if you've visited the site you will see that I do have one. I will move the widget to the top of the page, and hopefully it will help.

    @Shawnlebrun,

    I really like your advice, and appreciate it just as much. Should I add something to the homepage that says why they should choose me over anyone else, or should would it be fine if I added it to the the sales page for each product?

    Do you guys think my homepage is overwhelming? Maybe I should only offer like 10 pages?

    As a new person I wouldn't rely on online sales for a saturated service like SEO. You're better off going local. People who are searching online for SEO have way too many choices. You can expect lots of traffic and few conversions IMHO.

    Its not the best answer but you need to add a "privacy policy" and a "contact us" page. That will increase consumer confindence

    I'm sorry I just say your policy up top. Im so use to looking at the bottom of the page. Sorry about that! Make sure you know how the webmaster is getting his traffic and its quality traffic. I personally would find another one or two traffic sources. Maybe go and promot a proven affilaite product first and make sure the traffic coverts then put back up your own site and go from there.

    Best of luck

    I saw nothing on your site that would make me think that you were any different then the 1,000s of other competing SEO companies. Where is your proof that you can perform what you say? I suggest having a video as your marketing message. Convince me that I should spend money with you. Why are you the best? Why should I spend a dime with you? What work have you done in the past? Who are your past clients? None of those questions are answered on your site and that is why nobody is buying. You should target local business looking for SEO and make it a point of getting their contact information.

    you need to look into your conversions, maybe install some tracking scripts to see what your visitors are doing on the site.

    that's where the "internet marketing" really takes the important role... low conversion means we need a better like capturing leads, offers, designs, etc. That's my 2 cents
