Expert Tips For Launching Your Website
A CrossFit website can be a very successful marketing tool for your business. However, there are some important things to keep in mind before you launch yours.
This blog post will discuss six CrossFit website launch tips so you'll know what it takes to have a successful site.
1. Make Sure Your Website Is Responsive
CrossFit is a great way to stay in shape and your website should reflect that. Thus the goal of your site is to attract people who are interested in CrossFitting, and not just members or athletes at your gym.
To do this, follow the steps below.
- Make sure what you have on the page appears well when viewed from different devices – desktops, laptops, tablets, and many others.
- Make sure your site looks good on a mobile device.
- Keep the text clear and easy to read on any device.
- Take advantage of scrolling space as it is more difficult for people to access all information in one sitting when browsing from a mobile phone or tablet.
- Don't try to cram too much onto one page
2. Include A Blog That Can Be Updated Regularly
Updating your blog site with new information and articles will increase your visibility, help people get to know you better as an expert in the field of CrossFit, and keep people coming back for more.
This is essential if you want to grow your Crossfit business with a successful website. Blog posts should not only be about fitness or CrossFit but for the subject matter that is related to CrossFit as well. Make sure you always provide useful information in each blog post so people will feel like they've gained something from it.
3. Create An Informative FAQ Page With Answers To Common Questions
Your fitness website should include a FAQ page that answers any questions or concerns that your visitors may have. The best part about this is it will allow you to make sure all of the information on your website is up-to-date, as well as provide some helpful insights for those who are just starting out with CrossFit and are unsure of what they should wear.
You may also include information on the benefits of CrossFit, which will allow you to show your visitors that there is a noticeable difference in case they take your classes. Information such as pricing and packages may also be given, so potential clients can get an idea about how much it may cost for them to work with your company.
4. Include Promotions As Part Of Your Website Content
This step might come later but including your website as a way to promote your deals and specials could be a great way to get people through your gym's door.
You might start by running an advertisement during a CrossFit event and then offer them something special on your website in relation to that promotion for some time after. You may also allow customers early access to information about what you have coming up, as well as any competitions or events you are
5. Announce Your New Site On CrossFit Forums And Other Related Communities
The most important thing to remember is that CrossFit communities are very tight-knit which means many people on these forums will be your clients. Thus, announcing your new site on CrossFit forums and other communities you are involved with can be a great way to get the word out about your new site.
Simply reach out to someone who is an admin on one of these sites, introduce yourself, then ask them if they would consider posting a link to your page in their forum or community for all of their members and other individuals to see.
Make sure though that all your products are CrossFit-related. If you mention a new event, product, or service in the CrossFit forum and it isn't something they're looking for then chances are good those members won't take the time to check it out.
6. Be Patient With The Results
Once your website is up and running, it can take some time for the rankings to be impacted by your SEO strategy. You can ensure that whatever keywords you use are being repeated throughout your content.
For example, if you're writing about CrossFit training for senior citizens then include the keyword “Crossfit” or “senior citizen” in a blog post and mention it in social media posts as well.
It's also best practice to let your site establish itself on Google before you start investing in pay-per-click advertising, and focus instead on building up more of a following through social media channels such as Facebook or Twitter.
Conclusion
Your website is a cornerstone of your digital marketing strategy. It's the first impression you give potential customers and it should have everything they need to know about what you offer, how much it costs, who does this type of work or training, etc. The following tips are designed to help you create an effective site that will drive sales through increased traffic and conversion rates.
