Maybe because it doesnt look that professional enough. I think you need to be consistent on all the pages of the site than using different fonts... I have a HTML page designer, i can give it a try to build up a good website without a template or so.. Just own creation.. If you want to give it a try, do let me know.. Hope my suggestions help you out..
Do you know how much traffic you are actually receiving? I agree with goldy, make your website look nicer and you should get better conversions.
this doesn't have much context without knowing how many visitors you get - are there many people in your area looking for sushi online? But one thing I would say is - get rid of the adsense. The purpose of your site is to get business for yourself, not send it to another site. (and the red background is awful)
Yes, as others have said, you need to first check how many visitors you are getting. You need to figure out if you are not getting orders because 1) your website may not be professional looking enough and may be limiting conversions or 2) you aren't getting sufficient traffic from those rankings. That will determine if you need to improve your website or your rankings/traffic. One problem is that few people search online for sushi catering. 'sushi catering' only gets about 480 searches on Google and their search network. I would think most people looking to get sushi catering would prefer to order from a restaurant that they have had experience with. Why would someone order food in bulk without knowing how good it is? Since you won't get much traffic in that niche it is crucial to have a professional website that converts well. Here are some suggestions: -you need photos of all menu items linked from your menu -ensure you have no misspellings (ie. http://www.offersushi.com/prices.html 'all planes includes') -get rid of the ads...what's more important: a few bucks from some ads or a $400+ catering order? -try to get more testimonials -just make it more professional looking If you don't have website traffic analytic software, install Google Analytics asap. It will tell you how much traffic you get, where it is all coming from and how people use your website.
Thanks guys all of you am taking some notice,i all make some changes on that site and will see how's that will goes .........
I agree, the site needs to be redesigned, and you need some sort of special. Maybe categorizing your catering. IE weddings: birthdays: That way you will rank better for phrases, and your customers will get a good feel for your services. Also, on the homepage, you should have your menu.
Do you know how many searches per day are performed for the keyword you are targeting? Is this consistent with the number of unque visitors you recive per day?
b#o#s#t#o#n sushi is the keyword you need to get. (I put spaces and # to avoid that this forum get high rank on your keyword) The other ones are low traffic. You are ranking well on some keywords that i don't want to type here (the forum could compete with your site, believe me), but those keywords get low traffic. The main keyword i told you, receives montlhy 18,00 searches, so its a lot. Surprising you are receiving "some" clicks for that keyword according to my researches and you are showing on the first page. Maybe you need to read and think what does Google show to the visitor, because they dont seam to be clicking much on your site. For me your page description is atractive, The strangest thing is that other sites that appear in the #1 page as yours receive less traffic that yours... could be the crisis? Being honest, i don't get it. I will think about it to see if i am able to detect whats going on in this case. One idea: Do a test on Google adwords to see if people clicks more on your add. You can do a test one weekend and check what happends.
But thats not the reason why people are not clicking from Google. According Google, the main keyword has 18 k monthly hits. But much of the sites showing on first page receive ver low traffic. Why? Who is getting all those searches traffic?
i think , u should change the layout of your website and make the introduction a little brief . Also the store store appear , next to the home page , so that there are more visits . Are you keeping a track of how many visits you store page gets ?
I am agree with roseanneb your site's background color is red which is not matching with your site I think u should change ur theme
