If your website does not produce the results you expect – whether that is converting visitors, ranking well in Google or keeping people engaged – you are not alone. In a recent video, Nick shares practical insights on how to improve your website, avoid frequent mistakes and approach SEO with clarity and purpose.
Here are the key points from the video along with actionable ideas you can implement straight away.
Nick frames a vital question:
If someone visits your homepage for just 3 seconds, will they immediately understand what you do and why it matters?
He calls this the Billboard Test. Just like a roadside advertisement, your homepage needs to communicate its core message instantly. If your messaging is unclear, your design is busy or your value proposition is hidden, visitors are likely to leave before engaging further.
Easy fix:
Use a simple, benefit-oriented headline and ensure your value proposition is obvious on first glance.
Many business owners fall into what Nick refers to as the Traffic Trap – assuming that more traffic naturally leads to more customers.
In reality, traffic is of little use if your site does not convert. Attracting hundreds of visitors but generating zero leads indicates that your site is not delivering value.
Easy fix:
Think about the user journey clearly. Ensure your content, layout and calls to action guide visitors towards meaningful action.
Nick debunks a common misconception: that SEO is simply about keyword stuffing.
Modern SEO demands more than keyword presence. Google places emphasis on relevance, authority and trust. To perform well in search, your content must provide genuine value. Your site must be fast, easy to use and aligned with user intent.
Easy fix:
Craft content that truly helps your audience. Make sure your site is mobile-friendly, loads quickly and is straightforward for both people and search engines.
A frequent issue Nick observes is websites featuring dead ends. For instance, blog posts without internal links or service pages without options for next steps.
Every page on your site should invite further engagement.
Easy fix:
Add internal links, calls to action or contact forms on every page to keep visitors moving forward.
Nick highlights the importance of trust. If visitors do not trust your brand, they are unlikely to take any action. Trust is built through professional presentation, clear messaging and evidence of success.
Easy fix:
Include testimonials, case studies and client logos. Use clean, modern design to reinforce credibility.
Nick’s recommendations offer a timely reminder that a website should do more than just look good or generate clicks. A high‑performing site clearly communicates what you offer, guides visitors towards action and earns their trust along the way.
Focus less on quick wins or sheer traffic. Instead prioritise clarity, conversion and credibility from the very first click.
