Copywriting
The copy(text) is one of the most important, if your copy is not compelling enough your traffic will neve convert, even for a restaurant this is important (also good use of images). there is a whole science behind writing good copy to a website and this step is just as important as all the others pillars, because if you are missing one pillar then you can’t stand solid.
Marketing
The marketing aspect of your website is separated into two parts, actual sending traffic to your website, and the selling part on your website. If you are running a new campaign with a compelling offer, consider creating a subpage to your website specifically for that campaign, this way you will see an increase in traffic quality and conversions.
When it comes to the marketing and selling on your website, it’s in two forms, Compelling copy/ad-copy and CTA’s, taking advantage of every single detail, and utilizing A/B testing to see what kind of template or copy works best.
