Lead Nurturing Tactics To Boost Your Conversion Rate

Nurturing leads is extremely critical to any business’s success. Technological advancements have led to an increase in competition in the online marketplace, while the customer’s buying behavior has also changed over the years.

You may invest a lot of money, time, and resources in a lead generation campaign, but if you aren’t nurturing them, you're simultaneously losing leads as soon as they come in. This is why it's not enough to generate leads anymore, only a lead nurturing strategy will direct them through a sales funnel. >>> READ MORE

If you pop into either of the fantastic SEO communities on Twitter or LinkedIn, you’ll inevitably encounter some common SEO myths:

  • “Longer dwell time means a good user experience, so it must be a ranking factor”

  • “A high bounce rate indicates a bad user experience, so it must be bad for SEO”
