When it comes to marketing your business, social media and email lists tend to get all the hype, but let’s not forget the real MVP of your marketing toolkit: your website.
Think about it. Your website is there 24/7. It doesn’t get tired, doesn’t call in sick, and if you set it up right, it works behind the scenes to attract the right people and get them excited about what you offer. And the best part? You don’t need to be a marketing expert to make it work harder for you.
Here are 5 simple, effective marketing moves you can make from your website to increase visibility, connect with your audience, and bring in more of the right kind of clients.
Got an event coming up? Launching a new service? Speaking at a workshop? Your website is the perfect place to house all the information in one easy-to-share location. Instead of writing a long caption with every detail on Instagram or Facebook, create a clean, well-designed event page on your website.
Then, link to it from your social posts, stories, or even a QR code on print materials. This helps you drive traffic to your website, where people can not only learn more about the event but also explore your other services, products, and resources while they’re there. Bonus points if you include a sign-up form or booking option right on the webpage.
Client love is powerful. Sharing testimonials builds trust, increases credibility, and gives future clients that “I want what they’re having” feeling. But here’s the trick, don’t just post the quote and call it a day. Use testimonials as a gateway to deeper engagement.
Pair your client’s kind words with a link to the service page, offer, or case study that goes with it. For example, if someone loved their experience in your course program or specific service, create a social post with a snippet of the review and a link to the page where people can learn more about it or book with you. It’s storytelling and marketing, all in one move.
Not everyone who visits your website is ready to buy right then. But that doesn’t mean they’re not interested. A well-placed opt-in form gives curious visitors a low-pressure way to stay connected.
Think beyond the generic “join my newsletter” and offer something that adds real value: a free checklist, guide, template, or email series. You want to provide value, while also showcasing your expertise and how YOU can be the one to help them. Once they’re on your list, you can stay in touch and build that relationship over time.
Your website can be a content vault and not just a place where people go once and never look back. By offering helpful resources, you give people a reason to stick around, come back, and tell their friends.
Create a Resources or Tools page where you share blog posts, free downloads, tools you love, or even affiliate links to platforms you trust. This builds trust and positions you as someone who truly wants to help, not just sell. Plus, it can give your SEO a nice little boost by keeping people engaged and encouraging backlinks if others share your content.
When you post on social media, send out an email campaign, or mention something in a podcast, where do you send people? Ideally, back to your website. Your website should be the heart of your marketing strategy and the place that everything else points back to.
Make sure your homepage and service pages are clear, engaging, and easy to navigate. Include links in your social bios, email footers, and anywhere else you show up online. Every time you put yourself out there, think of your website as the ultimate link in bio. Whether someone’s ready to book now or just starting to explore, your website is where they’ll go to take that next step.
Marketing doesn’t have to mean constant content creation or complicated funnels. Sometimes, the most effective strategies are the simple ones, like setting up your website to do all the work for you.
With a few intentional updates and a little strategy, your website can help you reach more people, build stronger connections, and grow your business in a way that feels sustainable and true to you.
