Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the genesis domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

You can have the best website of any contractor in your town, you can have the best content on your page and you can write the best headlines, best lead-in or the best paragraph in the world, but if you don\u2019t have a specific, obvious called action at the bottom of each page of your site telling people exactly what it is you want them to do, then you\u2019ve wasted that page.<\/p>\n
What do you think happens after somebody reads all the text on your page or watched all the videos on your page and gets to the bottom and doesn\u2019t know what to do?<\/p>\n
They click the back button!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nWhat should you do to improve navigation through your website? <\/strong><\/p>\nFeed them additional information, take them to another page on your site, give them something to do by asking them to fill out a form. But whatever you do, don\u2019t just end a page without a next step!<\/p>\n
And by the way, here\u2019s a second tip for those of you who hung in there and read all the way to the bottom; if you are going to have links to another page, don\u2019t get all fancy and complicated and try to think up clever words or keywords. If you want them to click here, tell them to click here, and make that the link. There\u2019s dozens of studies online that prove the best words you can use to get people to click on a link is \u2018click here\u2019, trust me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
