This is a very common question that really has several parts to it. Overall, generating more business can mean 1 of 2 different things, or both things together. The first step is to have an overall business strategy. You will need to decide on a target market and connect to that market. Who is it you love to serve? That passion will show itself on your web site, and that is what gets the clicks, phone calls, sales, email signups, etc. That passion cannot be communicated to your target market if it isn’t there.
Another factor in generating more business from your web presence is being very aware of where your traffic is coming from. What is your strategy for placing your links out on the web? Random link exchanges and placing your links on directories that are filled with junk websites will not bring you visitors worth anything. Those links may get you some search engine ranking clout, but in the long run, it’s what you receive is not worth the effort it takes to do all of that insignificant directory submissions. 4 or 5 good, quality and targeted directories will give you better results than 300 poor quality general directories. So take the time up front to develop your strategy before you move forward on some random tactic here and there.
