See How Easily You Can Get Traffic to Your Site

A little bird told me you want to get traffic to your site.  If I hit the nail on the head, read on my friend!

Create Remarkable Content

No one in the entire world will be drawn to a website that is lacking intriguing content.  In order to get traffic to your site, you need to first draw readers in through the use of creative and innovative ideas.  For instance, on your blog (you do have a blog, don’t you?) for a restaurant, don’t just write posts about your own restaurant.

Instead, blog about current trends in your market including how many restaurants are only serving locally produced food on their menus.

Blog about how you created your latest menu and which company you utilized in doing so.  Maybe you could even get their company to mention your restaurant on their website’s blog.  You scratch their back, they’ll scratch yours.

Now this is not to say that you should never ever post anything about your own restaurant.  You definitely should!  In fact, you should post about upcoming events, recent menu additions, new staff members and restaurant milestones.  But, this should not be your main source of blog content.

Now, some may consider this cheating, but another way that you can get traffic to your site is to see how your competitors are getting traffic to their websites.  It is public information after all.

Another thing to think about is the demographic of the potential customers you are trying to target.  Are they of the younger generation?  If so, they may have an active presence on Facebook and Twitter.  Now, I know that you already have a Facebook page and a Twitter handle for your small business, right?  What you need to do now is engage your readers and create content that they actually want to see and read.

Put up exclusive content on your Facebook page that only users who have “Liked” your page can view.  You can post coupons, secret menu items and extended hours only for your Facebook followers.
