In order to attract visitors and gain traction, you’ll need to remain a credible source for online information. This raises an important question: Just how do you keep your site credible in the public eye?
Building Credibility It starts exactly where you think: by building a website with clear, concise, and credible content. Make sure that everything you post on your site – from the homepage to the content pages to your site’s blog – is vetted for accuracy. There is an important asymmetry to remember here, however: while it takes time to build a credible website, and time to make sure that all information you post is accurate, a single piece of poorly vetted content can cause immediate damage to your credibility. Maintaining a credible site, however, will bring benefits in three key areas.
Why Credibility Matters First, when your site is credible, and your information is reliable, your customers and visitors will come to rely on you. For them, you’ll be what’s known as a Subject Matter Expert, or SME, a ready source for everything they need to know. Second, your credibility, and your authority as an SME, will give your site visitors the added value they’ll need to convert and become your customers. If each page on your site, and each post in your blog, offers the reader some nugget of real value, your audience will respond and you’ll see the results in your traffic statistics. And this brings us to the third advantage of a credibility, better website performance. As you build a reputation for credibility, show yourself as an authoritative voice to your audience, and provide value to your site visitors, you’ll find your site stats improve; you’ll develop traction with the search engines, improve your SEO, and as your site appears in better positions in search results, your traction will continue to improve.
A Virtuous Cycle These factors of improved credibility building reputation building traction building SEO performance are all interconnected. They influence each other, and as one improves, so do the others. Establishing this is the key benefit that better credibility gives to your website, and while it is not easy to build, it is its own reward.
Encouraging Credible Comments One important, but often overlooked, factor in building a credible site, is the comment section. You want to have one; allowing your visitors to leave comments and to participate in the back-and-forth of conversation and community, will also encourage site traffic – especially repeat traffic. This benefit comes with pitfall, however, as you have to sacrifice some control over the content when you allow public comments.
