We all want our site to have a killer call-to-action (CTA) that’s super effective and yields loads of conversions. And while you totally need that, you should also consider that it’ll take more than one visit for your prospective customer to initiate a meaningful interaction with you.
A study by Rakuten Advertising revealed that consumers will visit a site 9.5 times before making an initial purchase. Back in 2011, it was just 2.5 times.
Track these folks and optimize your content to capture them in your sales process by focusing on more than just having an outstanding CTA. You’ll also need to watch how internal and external links perform across your site and blog.
It might seem like a lot of work. But internal and external links create opportunities for users to engage with your content. And if they’re not, you need to find out why.
Today, we’re out to answer 2 crucial questions:
Definitely.
Did you know that CTAs perform better than Google Ads?

Links and CTAs contribute to your customer’s overall experience on your site. Providing their experiences are positive, you’ll have satisfied customers.
And happy customers:
By knowing which elements they’re interacting with most, you’ll be able to recreate those kinds of posts and other conversion-friendly content.
