Stay On Top by Sticking to the Bottom

Put your most important information above the fold — that’s what the newspaper editors of old did, and it’s a practice that web developers still follow today. Above the fold content includes anything position in the uppermost part of a webpage, where it is visible to users without scrolling. When you only have four seconds to get your visitors’ attentions, it makes sense to optimize your above-the-fold content in order to keep them coming back for more, but once you’ve got them caught, how do you reel them in?

As soon as your users get started in the buyer’s journey, you need to start thinking about the rest of your page design. Not optimizing your below-the-fold content means you’re missing out on some great opportunities to turn a lead into a buyer.

Stick to these best practices when it comes to optimizing for the bottom of your webpage page, and you’ll be heading to the top in no time.

Optimize your site for the right location

 

In this week’s Wednesday Workshop, we share a tip that stems from a discussion with a dealer in our booth at Digital Dealer 23 last week.

After a bit of digging, we realized that he was optimizing his entire site for the wrong location, because he was trying to target a larger city (and it wasn’t even nearby!). Watch this week’s video to learn how you should optimize for your location, and why it’s important to get it right…
