Content Attracts More Leads

Both B2B & B2C Companies with 101 to 200 pages generate 2.5x more leads than those with 50 or fewer pages.

"Pages" can be helpful pages like FAQ's, or informative articles in the form of blog posts, or landing pages designed to promote offers. Good quality content will attract the right visitor to your website.

More Offers. More Leads

Companies see a 55% Increase in leads from increasing landing pages from 10 to 15. Landing pages normally feature an offer and are specifically designed to capture inquires and leads.

One benefit of trying new offers is the continuous learning from offers that work and those that don't. But you can't learn if you don't try.
