WHAT IS BOUNCE RATE?

Before diving deeper into the topic, let us first take a look at what exactly is bounce rate. In simple terms when a visitor (who can be a curious individual, a prospect, or a client) visits the landing page of your company’s website and leaves the same in a matter of seconds without reading or even visiting the other pages of the website, this behavior is called bouncing and the frequency of bounces, as seen in Google Analytics, for a website is known as its bounce rate.

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS YOU CAN REDUCE THE BOUNCE RATE AND INCREASE THE CONVERSION RATE OF YOUR WEBSITE:

WORK ON IMPROVING THE READABILITY OF YOUR WEBSITE’S CONTENT

One of the most common reasons for the TA of a company/business leaving the official website of the same without even bothering to read the content within or even consider visiting the other pages of the website is the poor readability factor of on-page content.

It is best to avoid large paragraphs and poor formatting in website content as they tend to scare TA away.

IT IS BETTER TO KEEP POP-UPS TO A MINIMUM OR DOWNRIGHT AVOID IT FOR A BETTER UX FACTOR

Although pop-ups are effective in many cases and it is an indispensable part of PPC campaigns, it is best to avoid them in your website content if you don’t want to disrupt the smooth UX factor of your website. Even if your content is well-formatted and engaging, if the website keeps on showing pop-ups, chances are really high that the visitor will bail.

WORK TOWARDS CREATING A COMPELLING CALL TO ACTION
