Hey hey,

Ever feel like your site's SEO traffic isn't converting as well as it should?

You're not alone.

This happens to 1,000s of websites every single week.

The site has organic traffic from Google, but the traffic isn’t converting to leads and sales.

I know from first hand experience and I’ve been working for years to improve my conversion strategies for organic traffic.

Today, I'm sharing my practical guide for turning SEO traffic into engaged subscribers and loyal customers.

Use this guide to convert SEO traffic into email subscribers, leads, phone calls, & customers.

SEO traffic is nothing without conversions.

Make lead magnets your best friend.

I've had 10,000s subscribe to my email lists through SEO & lead magnets.

You can too. Just follow this guide.

1/ Free resources on the site

• Add a dropdown on your Header for "Free resources".

• Include 3+ lead magnets for website visitors.

• Ebooks, calculators, case studies, etc.

• Place your top lead magnets in your footer.

• Give them their own Header and column.

• This will drive importance for visitors.

3/ Exit intent pop up

• Set up a pop up that only appears when visitors scroll to leave.

• Offer them a "hard to say no to" lead magnet offer.

• Package all of your lead magnets into one.

Make it irresistible.

4/ Blog sidebar floating offers

• Create a side bar on your blog articles template.

• Add a relevant lead magnet offer that sticks and floats.

• Visitors will consistently be tempted to sign up.

5/ Lead magnet offers in blogs

• At the top, 33% down, 66% down, at the bottom.

• Give the visitor multiple opportunities to sign up.

• Make the offers different and relevant to the content.

6/ Free calculators on site

• Find keywords for "<<blank>> calculator" in your niche.

• Create a simple calculator for visitors to use.

Require them to enter their name and email for results.

7/ Get personal with your calendar

• People buy from people.

• Add a floating Calendly button to the bottom right of your site.

• "Schedule a call with a Founder"

• Way better than "Contact" or "Talk to Sales Team".

Advice

Save this, analyze your current lead magnet strategy, and upgrade what you're doing. Create a calendar of new lead magnets that you can create and start promoting.
