    Where does your traffic come from? Knowing this could self answer your question.

    Maybe due to the name of your web site? Cairns Local Marketing . . . doesn't really associate itself with Internet and social marketing.

    Conversion optimization needed as it is the most annoying experience having visitors but no sales lead. Try to optimize your website following your competitors one or you can get help of website companies like webpromotica.com

    Promoting your own company as an advice to someone looking for ideas, not a very good tactic I suppose.

    You might want to make sure your site works properly. Only one of Your Read More buttons works.

    One thing to say...


    what sales copy? I looked around, and didn't really see much, if ANYTHING, that actually SELLS your site.


    There's very little content on there, and sales copy is non-existant. I can help you, if you so wish.


    Contact me either via email: benpalmerwilson(at)live(dot)com or Skype: ben.palmer.wilson


    Look forward to hearing from you!

    It's actually a very nice site, but your text needs a LOT of work.

    Clearly you've done something right with SEO to get the hits you're getting (and your business name is a good one, directly targeting the people you want to be targeting - don't change that!)

    The primary problem is that it's hard to know exactly what you can do for clients. People want to know right away that they are in the right place when they arrive. I forget the numbers exactly, but people make a decision about a site within a couple of seconds, and you need to shout about what you do right from the start. You should have something like "Increase your sales - promote your business locally like never before! Click here to read more..."

    People are interested in statements of fact. They know that a website will help them, and they probably have one already. So you need to tell them why they need YOU, not something they already know about.

    The next problem is all that text on the index page. Where you should be telling potential clients exactly what you can do for them in a concise and exciting way, you're stuffing it with keywords and repeating yourself - still not telling visitors what they need to know.

    You've pinned down getting the visitors to your site, but you haven't addressed the fundamental task of explaining what you can do for those visitors.

    Fix the video first. It takes ages to load and once it does it shows a blank, black screen. If you're going through the video route, at least do it right.

    Second of all, build a mailing list, and, no, a "Subscribe to our mailing list" form isn't it. Provide an incentive, like a free report.

    Third of all, put a bigger accent on testimonials and/or actual examples. I know that you have a "portfolio" page, but most people will never reach it, so throw in a screenshot or something that a past customer said on the front page.

    Fourth. There are way too many irrelevant exit points. Tighten the page and focus it more on the sales pitch.

    Good luck with your business.
