If Your Website Were an Employee, Would You Give It a Raise?

Your website isn’t a brochure. It’s your hardest-working employee — or at least, it should be.

Two Questions Every Business Owner Should Be Asking

Most small business owners treat their website like a one-and-done project. But in reality, your website is a 24/7 sales representative — and it’s time we started treating it like one.

  1. How many leads is your website generating?
    If you don’t know, then you don’t know if it’s working. That’s the first red flag.
  2. What’s the ROI of your website investment?
    When you compare the cost of your website to the business it brings in, are you coming out ahead? Or is it a silent money pit?

Here’s the Bonus Question

If your website were a human salesperson, would you:

  • Give them a raise?
  • Put them on a performance improvement plan?
  • Or quietly hope they’d quit?

Now here’s the kicker: If your website isn’t performing… is it the website’s fault? Or is it the fault of its manager — you?

What a High-Performing Website Should Be Doing

A properly managed website should:

  • Attract qualified leads
  • Explain your unique value
  • Make it easy for visitors to take the next step
  • Track and improve performance over time

If yours isn’t doing that, it’s not your best employee. It might be your most expensive liability.
