    5 ways to grow your business online

    Growing your business online is easy – the challenge is knowing where to start.

    Fear not – here are five of the most effective methods.

    1. Social media

    Social media is used by billions of people across the globe. So if used correctly, there’s the potential for your company to reach a massive audience.

    It’s a great tool because it allows you to interact directly with customers through comments, posts and content, all of which help them feel more connected to your brand.

    There are so many social media sites out there, so prioritise the platforms popular with your target audience.

    2. Create content

    You need to create high-quality content which enhances your brand presence and promotes your offering.

    Content can be articles, videos or guides, and the type you create will depend upon your target audience. It’s crucial that your content is regularly refreshed so that customers are enticed back again and again.

    This article on creating the best SEO content from Search Engine Journal will help you on way.

    3. Website development

    You can create the most amazing content and use it to direct people to your website, but if your site’s not up to scratch, your efforts will be wasted – so make sure it’s fit for purpose.

    There a number of factors to consider when assessing your website, which include conversion rate, SEO and site speed.

    A good place to start is Google Search Console, which will measure your website’s performance and provide improvement tips. If your website has any issues you should consider working with a specialist who can make swift and effective amendments.

    4. Backlinks

    A backlink is a link from one website to another and search engines essentially consider them as votes of confidence when deciding how highly to rank your page. So you should try and reach out key players in your industry and see if you can get them to link to your site – you’ll need to do the same in return.

    But you can also try guest posting on sites that have some relevance to your own business to increase your link value and capture even more traffic.

    5. Partner with an agency

    The internet gives you access to many wonderful platforms for growth. However, with so many aspects to focus on, businesses can quickly become overwhelmed by fast moving digital developments. This is why partnering with a digital agency like Attercopia is a good idea.

    By working with an agency, you’ll access experts in all things digital who provide timely advice on tweaking your approach and top rate technical skills.

    There are plenty of online strategies you can use to enhance your business, but it’s sometimes best to collaborate with an expert to make the most of the opportunities on offer
