Your website. Quite possibly the first thing you thought about when you decided to start your own business; it’d be the place most of your customers would find you, it’d be the place you could roll out all of your innovation quickly and easily, and it’d be the place for you to start a community of members and mailing lists. However, those big dreams don’t always come to fruition, and that’s mostly because we don’t know how to track the users that come across our website each day.

And when it comes to customer information, there’s somethings you really want to keep stock of to make sure your business is going from strength to strength. So it’s time to start properly monitoring your site, and learn how you can use the outreach you already have to get even further ahead; you have the resources after all! Here’s a couple of useful tips for you.

Know Where Most of Your Customers Come From

You don’t need to know where they could come from, you just need to know how the bulk of your users are already finding you. But that can be extremely hard when most people don’t even bother to make an account with you, and then immediately move on after scanning through the multiple pages of information and pretty pictures you spent ages crafting.

And that’s annoying, pure and simple. So it’s time to invest in some Anonymous Visitor Identification; it’s easy to install and use, and it means you’re finally going to be aware of the position your business holds in the corporate world. And that’s a power a lot of entrepreneurs don’t put enough stock in. When you know where these anonymous users come from, you’re going to know where to focus your marketing, what platforms to monopolize, and what kinds of messages your target market is expecting from you.

Take Inspiration From Your Competitors

It’s not cheating and it’s not copying if you’re using this kind of information in your own way. Barely anybody has an original idea anymore, and taking an idea from someone else and then spinning it and spinning it until it resembles something else is the best way forward when you’ve got multiple responsibilities under your belt.

So if you’re in a saturated field, this is a good move to make sure you’re reaching the right customers. Go where your competitors are, see what they do there, and then try it out yourself. Of course, it can be hard to fit yourself onto a platform that doesn’t have a need of you, but if you’re savvy, you’ll know how these ideas can fit elsewhere. And that’s where knowing where your customers come from is going to come in; try these techniques on these previously established platforms rather than try to fill a non existent hole!

Your site will one day reach the exposure you’ve always wanted, and you can’t expect these results from the get go. Project your business with these tips.
