Most B2B websites confuse visitors instead of guiding them. Clear structure helps buyers self-educate, compare solutions, and decide to engage. Build pages that answer questions, establish credibility, and make taking the next step obvious.

List hygiene

Regularly remove inactive and invalid email addresses to maintain deliverability and focus effort on engaged subscribers who actually read your content.

Marketing Automation

Execute personalised, multi-touch campaigns at scale through software that triggers messages based on prospect behaviour and characteristics.

Pain point

Identify specific problems customers experience to position solutions around relieving frustrations they're motivated to solve rather than nice-to-have features.

Content calendar

Plan content publication in advance to maintain consistency, balance topics, and coordinate promotion rather than scrambling to create content reactively.

Voice of customer

Capture exact language customers use to describe problems and solutions to write copy that resonates because it mirrors how your market actually thinks and speaks.

User interview

Conduct structured conversations with customers to uncover problems, motivations, and decision processes that surveys and analytics can't reveal.

Offer

Structure your pricing, deliverables, and guarantee into a compelling proposition that makes buying decisions easier and more confident.

Stages of awareness

Match your messaging to prospects' current awareness level from problem-unaware to solution-aware to speak directly to their mental state.

Usability testing

Watch real users attempt tasks with your product to identify friction points that analytics alone can't reveal and prioritise improvements that remove blockers.

Page speed

Optimise how quickly pages load to reduce bounce rates and improve rankings since slow sites frustrate users and get penalised by search algorithms.

Hero section

Design the prominent first section of pages to communicate value immediately and guide visitors toward conversion without requiring them to scroll or search.

Booking rate

Track the percentage of activated leads who schedule a discovery call or demo, measuring sales pipeline entry success.

Click-through rate (email)

Unsubscribe rate

Monitor how many recipients opt out of emails to catch list fatigue or irrelevant content before deliverability suffers from spam complaints that damage sender reputation.

Above the fold

Place critical information and calls-to-action in the visible area before scrolling to capture attention immediately when visitors land on pages.

AIDA

Map the buyer journey from attention to action, crafting messages that guide prospects through each stage to conversion.
