You have many choices for marketing and advertising - social networks, digital ads, print ads, email, direct marketing. Which one rises to the top? If you are in healthcare, technology, education or just about any industry, you may have thought your website was not that valuable because it hasn't been bringing you customers. If this is you, you need to think again. 2017 research reinforces the fact that people who are on their way to becoming customers because they want to expand their learning will go to your website more than any other resource.
Website views are preferred by 20% over any other resources for people who want to learn more about what you offer.
And this preference is true no matter what age is surveyed. A website that serves prospective customers well has to be a business growth priority.
