In today’s fast-paced digital world, grabbing someone’s attention requires finesse and clarity. This is especially on your small business website’s homepage. You have just three seconds to provide your header with answers to these three crucial questions: What do you offer? How will it benefit them? And what action do they need to take? This is all the time you have to make a meaningful connection before they decide to jump ship and go elsewhere. So, let’s take a look into each of these questions and learn what it takes to craft a compelling header that resonates.
What do you offer?
Clarity is essential. Your header should clearly convey what your business provides. Consider this as your elevator pitch—short, sharp, and impactful. It’s about stating your offering in a way that immediately captures the attention of the site visitor and sparks their interest. Are you selling a product, offering a service, or providing a solution? Define it in clear, concise terms. For instance, “Professional Virtual Assistance for Your Business” or “Innovative Home Organization Solutions.”
How will it make the customer’s life better?
Beyond just stating what you offer, highlight how it will bring value into your customer’s life. What pain point does your product/service address? Will it save them time, money, or stress? Use powerful words to communicate the benefits. For instance, “Streamlining Your Workload for Stress-Free Productivity” or “Creating Healthy Lifestyles and Simplifying Fitness with our Tailored Wellness Coaching.”
What do they have to do to get it?
Lastly, guide your visitors on the next step they should take. Do you want them to sign up, explore your services, or make a purchase? A clear call-to-action (CTA) encourages action. Phrases like “Get Started,” “Learn More,” or “Book a Consultation” will help your website visitors know what to do next. Make sure the CTA clearly stands out on your site, so there’s no confusion on what action they should take.
These three questions are your gateway to increasing your user’s engagement with your website. Getting clear on these answers ensures your header clearly provides the necessary information to attract the right audience and encourage them to delve deeper into what you offer.
