Driving more traffic to your website and capturing the interest and time of visitors may be the most important part of maintaining a successful web presence. Luckily, you can keep your online audience engaged by incorporating more site features, and, in turn, obtain higher search engine rankings, and better conversion rates. All of these components feed off of each other, and when implemented properly, get more patients in your office.
Visitor Retention Begins with Bounce Rate
More site features give visitors more opportunities to engage with your practice and can greatly decrease your bounce rate. Bounce rate is defined by the percentage of visitors that leave your page after viewing only one page.
A lower bounce rate will give you a higher search engine ranking. According to a recent study, websites with a low bounce rate – below 76% – typically appear on pages 1- 4 on Google; a bounce rate above 78% and you’re more likely appearing outside of top 5 pages.
A lower bounce rate = greater visibility and increases the likelihood of attracting more patients.
A Lower Bounce Rate Means Longer Time Spent on Your Website
If visitors are clicking thru multiple pages on your website, it means that they are interested in and engaging with the content that exists there. The more time spent on your website indicates to search engines that visitors find value in your content, and increases your search engine rankings. The more time visitors spend on your site, the more likely you are to convert visitors into patients.
