Five Mistakes to Watch Out for In A Funeral Home Website

By Azalea M. Lynn


Do you want to expand your horizons? How about marketing your funeral home business in the internet? With millions of people using the internet to look for products and services, this is the perfect time to make a website of your own. However, you should make sure that your website is designed properly. A poorly designed website can easily make a reader drag the mouse cursor to that X icon on the upper right corner of their screens.

Now, if you already have a website for your funeral home business, assess how it is doing. Are you getting enough traffic? Is there an improvement in sale conversions? If you feel like the results are not satisfactory, you should start making changes. Your website should be a place to get information about your services. Even though you have a funeral answering service provider to take calls the entire day, the accessibility of your website is highly beneficial.

Critical Mistakes to Prevent

Your funeral home website is not generating enough traffic. There might be mistakes in your website. Take a look at these mistakes and see what needs changing:

Quality of Inbound Links- Your funeral home website's inbound links are a factor for its credibility. And with Google, you really want to make your website credible. Quality inbound links will help your website become more searchable. The best inbound links to get are those related to your business like urn suppliers, casket suppliers, crematoriums or florists. They can link you from their website and you can link them in return.

URL- What online address do you have? Is it easy to remember? Be ready to spend extra cash to get the best website address for your funeral home business. This should be something easily remembered. If your funeral business' name is Pablo's Funeral home, the best address would be www.pablosfuneralhome.com. Do not pick a website address where the online consumer has to type several unknown words.

Poor Loading Time- Flash players and high quality images are great elements in a website design. They are eye-catching and very interesting. However, putting too much will result in poor loading time which can be very annoying for internet surfers. Also, keep your high quality elements to a minimum since these will not help boost your ranking in the search engine result page.

Right Content- Websites should have at least 2,500 words of content on the website. Even if you are running a small website, you should publish the right content. What is the point of putting up a funeral home website if you don't put the right information?

Bad Layout- Your funeral home website is live for a reason; it is to generate traffic and hopefully, convert the traffic to sales. You won't make any conversions if your visitors leave after a few seconds of exploring your site. The cause? It is probably your bad website layout.

After making some changes, make sure that your funeral answering service provider is reliable. Website servers can go down and errors might happen. To protect you from website server problems, assure customers that your phone lines are always open.
