Website Grader: Do I need a Website Audit?

?A Website Grader Helps Generate Leads & Sales

Does your website get a gold star?

– When you’re trying to reach the top of the mountain in your industry, an efficient, effective website is a key element in the equation for success.

As of November 2013, WorldWideWebSize reports that there are nearly 1.4 billion indexed websites online. That is some serious competition for clicks, Visitors, and Prospects. Do you want your website to be just another nondescript tree in a crowded forest of similar sites, or do you want it to be a well-oiled Conversion Machine?

For most people, the choice is clear.

Once you have decided that you want your website to be all that it can be, the next step is to figure out how to achieve that goal. To understand what you need to do to get where you need to go, the first step is determining where you currently stand.

The Website Grader is an excellent tool for doing just that, and more.

How the Website Grader Works

After you submit your website for a free Website Grader analysis, your site will be graded on a scale of 100. The big-picture grade will analyze your site’s overall effectiveness, while the diagnostic report will more specifically indicate how each element is functioning.

The three key areas analyzed by the Website Grader are:

Top-of-Funnel Gaps: where Consumers do research
Middle-of-Funnel Gaps: where Consumers shop
Bottom-of-Funnel Gaps: where Consumers make actual purchases

If one element of your funnel is not functioning as it’s supposed to, each of the other elements can suffer. For your Conversion Machine to be operating at full steam, each of its individual pieces need to function at a high level.

What Happens After Your Site Gets Graded

So you’ve got your Website Grader results?in hand, you’ve learned about your site’s strengths and weaknesses, and it’s time to figure out what’s not working.
