"What matters is not how many people enter your website, but how many advance in the journey you expect. You can have 500 daily visits and barely 2 inquiries."
The most common mistake: thinking that visits = sales
Many businesses focus on attracting people to their website, but forget the essential: what matters is not how many people enter, but how many advance in the journey you expect. You can have 500 daily visits and barely 2 inquiries. That's not a traffic problem, but a conversion problem. Something on your site is blocking the path from visitor to client.
5 steps to review your website in 5 minutes
A simple and effective methodology to identify the main conversion obstacles on your website.
Can people understand what you offer in 5 seconds?
- Show your homepage to someone unfamiliar with your business and ask them: What does this company do? What problem does it solve? What benefit does it offer?
- If they can't answer, your message isn't clear
- Use a simple and direct title: 'We design online stores ready in 7 days' or 'Accountants specialized in SMEs with 24-hour response'
Is your action button visible and clear?
- The visitor should immediately know what the next step is. If the button is hidden or blends with the design, you lose them
- Use a large button with contrasting color, visible on the first screen
- Repeat it in key sections with texts like 'Request quote', 'Talk to an advisor' or 'Buy now'
Is the purchase or contact process too long?
- Each extra step is a leak. Try completing a purchase or sending a form yourself and count how many clicks and data they ask for
- Ask only for the essential (name + email for a contact)
- A form with 3 fields converts much more than one with 9
Does your website transmit real trust?
- People distrust if they don't find proof that your business is serious
- Add real client testimonials with name and, if possible, photo
- Make a contact number or WhatsApp visible and show clear policies
Is your website fast and works well on mobile?
- More than 60% of users browse from their phone. If your page takes time to load or the text looks small, they leave
- Check your website on your own mobile: can you read it well? does the button fit on screen?
- Loading speed should not exceed 3 seconds

Conclusion
Investing in advertising or SEO doesn't make sense if your website isn't ready to convert. Most problems are solved with simple adjustments: improve the message, simplify the journey, reinforce trust and optimize the mobile version. A clear, reliable and easy-to-use site not only attracts visits, but transforms them into clients. Before continuing to invest in attracting more traffic, make sure your website is ready to take advantage of what you already have.
