Generating the perfect visitor content flow starts with effective website planning, something we\u2019ll tackle in a future post. For today, let\u2019s look at key points around the topic and how you can use them to plan your perfect website and layout\u2026<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In theory, someone who arrives at your website should show up on the homepage, click on the link that gives them the product, service, or information they\u2019re looking for, and then decide to do something (like make a purchase).<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In reality, search engines, links, and blog posts will often leave visitors in areas that are only somewhat related to the actual question or challenge that\u2019s on their mind. And, they\u2019ll frequently click back and forth between different pages in a seemingly-random pattern to find the right resources.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
As you already know, people don\u2019t actually click through websites randomly; instead, they get frustrated looking for a certain piece of information that isn\u2019t readily-available on the menu bar.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why internal links, search bars, and other usability tools are so important. You only get a few seconds before someone becomes so frustrated with your website that they leave. When that happens, you\u2019ve lost a potential sale (and maybe even a long-term customer) because your content flow didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Compounding this problem is the fact that a lot of websites have what are essentially dead ends. These can be broken links, missing pages, or resources that should be in place but simply aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The more of these you have hanging around your website, the harder it is for visitors to find what they want and do business with you. This is essentially the opposite of good content flow.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
There are two ways to ensure you aren\u2019t suffering from these kinds of problems, and losing sales as a result. The first is to plan your site carefully and anticipate the kinds of questions and answers your customers will have.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The second is to audit your website, paying particular attention to your web analytics. You want to know where visitors are arriving on your pages, which resources or destinations they\u2019re looking to most often, and at what point they are deciding to leave. When you have those data points in place, you can start closing up dead ends and optimizing your content flow to keep buyers engaged.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It used to be that having a website that looked great was enough. Now, though, your closest competitors are only a click away, and there are hundreds of them. With that in mind, you can\u2019t afford to have a website poor visitor content flow \u2013 it\u2019s just too easy for customers to take their time, attention, and money elsewhere.<\/p>\n
