After all of your hard work, you've finally launched your business' website. So you're done now, right? Just like any other component of your marketing strategy, you need to monitor and make changes to your website. You wouldn't keep print ads displayed if they were no longer relevant. The same logic should be applied to your web content.
Here's why regular website audits are necessary:
Accuracy
Is the contact information on your site correct? Are the employees listed on the staff page still working for you? Having content that is out of date could result in missed business opportunities and skepticism on the part of potential clients of your ability to provide current products and services.
SEO opportunity
If you have incorporated a keyword strategy, you need to make sure that your content is reaching the right audience. Remove poorly performing keywords and do some research to find out which terms are better options. Effective SEO requires constant testing and evaluation.
Ease of navigation
You don't want a potential client to come to your website only to leave abruptly because the pages were confusing. It's necessary to regularly navigate your site and possibly use outside help to ensure that it's as user-friendly as possible.
Meeting audience needs
If your content is not resonating with your target audience, it's up to you to figure out why. Everything on your website should be tailored to fit the needs of this group. If the current information on your site is not working, fix it.
