Why your about page needs an overhaul?
If you have attracted a new or potential customer to your website, statistics show that more than 50% will go to your about page.
With this knowledge, if your about page is not done right you could be missing out on converting this visitor into a customer. Your about page is part of the lead generation to the conversion process.
Is your about page boring and just slapped together or does it add value?
Your website visitors will be asking
- Can this business help me with my problem
- What’s in it for me
- Am I on the right website
- What can I learn about this business
Your visitors do not want a ramble about how awesome you are without answering their questions.
