If you are tracking your website with software like Google Analytics, you will see “Bounce Rate”. It is shown as a %. This means that on a specific page (or a general average for the whole website) that number of people who enter your website, leave without going to a second page. So, the lower the bounce rate, the better! Now, it is hard to get a very low bounce rate, but if you have one of 20% or lower, you are doing very good. This means that only 1 out of every 5 people leave without going to a second page.

How can you lower your bounce rate? Well, this comes back to the importance of having a nice looking, well-structured website. Yes, search engine optimization services can get you the traffic – but if people don’t like what they land on, they will leave…and hence, you will not get the number of conversions you may anticipate.

So aside from having a user-friendly website, other things you can do include making changes to get your visitors engaged such as adding videos, getting visitors to sign up for a newsletter, promotions, calls to action (Buy Now!…Call Now!…Shop Now!).

Plus, if your bounce rate is lower, this will help you with rankings too…so, the lesson of the day is: Go to your website, ask yourself if it is engaging and if it would keep you interested and clicking different pages etc. If not, you’ve got some work to do!
