PROBLEM 1: YOUR WEBSITE IS NOT GETTING DISCOVERED

A New Website Design Won't Bring New Customers

We get it, your website looks old. It's dated, and reminds you of when you first started out with different ideas. It doesn't show where your business is today. 

So, you get your website redesigned. The designer you hired had a great looking portfolio, and you loved the way their designs looked, so you hired them.

The new website design looks great! It says what it needs to say, and looks how it needs to look.

Only, your new website still doesn't bring in any business.

Why is that?

Why Doesn't Your Website Bring You Customers?

It looks great, but it can’t be found on Google when people search for your product or service.
You don't show up in the Google Maps results for local customers, where almost all the local business goes to.
When you ask AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Perplexity, they've never heard of you.

When your website isn't discovered by new customers  looking to buy from you, it's invisible to them. Your business doesn't exist online.

Your website was designed without SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or AISO (AI Search Optimization).

You’re waiting for people to call who'll never be able to find your website.

And that's just the start of the problem...

What a Website Designed Without SEO Really Costs

When your website doesn't bring in business, every new customer costs more money or time

  • You pay for Google Ads to send people to web pages that should be easily found
  • You go to Local business networking groups and meet ups, spending most of your week chatting to find referrals
  • You post on social media, hoping it might turn into work
  • You pay for social ads, to send traffic from a place no-one was looking for you
  • You go back to word of mouth, which doesn't scale and doesn't grow
  • This year's growth looks the same as every other year

This is the real cost of web design that looks good, but does nothing for you.

That type of web design costs less, because they put so much less into the website. It's quick, simple, easy, and low priced.

Only, you end up paying much more for website traffic and finding business, instead of it finding you, and growing year-after-year.

The power of compounding should be working FOR your business growth, not against you when your ad prices or expenses increase.

Your website either increases revenue, or it increases expenses.

PROBLEM 2: YOUR WEBSITE'S NOT WINNING THE TAB WAR

A Website Getting Discovered Doesn't Mean It Gets Chosen

Just like you, your customer doesn't just search once and call the first website they see.

They open four or five websites in tabs at once, and compare them.

Next, they start closing tabs of the websites they don't like the look of.

  • Slow website, closed.
  • Bad messaging, gone.
  • No phone number, adios.
  • Can't find pricing, closed.
  • Looks unprofessional, nope.
  • Not sure if you can fix their problem, bye.
  • Looks like nobody's touched it since 2015, you're outta there.

Your customers all do this. That's how the tab war works, and it's over in seconds.

You can rank number one on Google and still lose jobs to the business in the next tab over.

Why Most Web Designers Can't Fix This Problem

 

When you hire a web designer, here's what usually happens...

Your web designer builds you something that looks great. Then, they hand it over and move on to their next project.

6 months to a year later, nothing's changed for you. You're getting no more business now than you did before.

Web designers don't build websites to win the tab war.

    • Q
      They don't figure out what makes your business different, who your ideal customers are, or how you solve their problems.
    • Q
      Web designers don't research the competition beating you, and how to overcome that.
    • Q
      Your website doesn't contain persuasive copy that clearly differentiates you from your competitors, and persuades people to buy from you.

    Your web designer didn't fail at their job. Design was their job, and they did that well.

    Only, in digital marketing you need to do better than your competition to beat them.

    It takes less than 3 seconds for a potential customer to skip past your website, and go with someone else.

    Once you've lost the tab war, that lost business (and any referrals it might've brought your way) is gone forever.

    Digital sales & marketing strategy, competitive research, and writing persuasive copy are services most web design shops don't have at all.

    At Shared Graphics we do everything for you, because  without these things, your website won't work out.

    ✓ 4x keywords ranked for on Google (and growing)
    ✓  More improvements being seen weekly.

    If your website isn't getting chosen, we'll figure out why, and build one that does.

    PROBLEM 3: YOUR WEBSITE'S NOT CLOSING THE DEAL

    Website Traffic Doesn't Pay the Bills

    So, your website gets traffic. People discover your website online (or you pay for ads to get them there), and you're winning the tab war.

    Your future customer is giving you a chance here, but at this point they're still comparing your business to others.

    This is the most important stage for your business to win. 

    Your website needs to answer this VERY important question in your customer's mind...

    Why Should They Choose YOU?

    How does your website show that you can fix their problem in the best way possible? Better than anyone else?

    • Does the web page give them a really solid reason to pick you?
    • Does your website show them what's different about your business compared to anyone else?
    • How does your website show that you can fix their problem in the best way possible?
    • Do your website pages increase the value your customer believes they will receive from your business?
    • Is your website showing them how you've done this for other people before, that are VERY happy?
    • Does your website build trust with the customer as they read through it, aking it easier for them to trust you, and go with you?
    • Does calling ONLY YOU feel like the best move?

    Any missing pieces means a confused customer.

    When it's harder for a customer to see the differences between your business and anyone else's, they only get more confused.

    The comparison becomes harder, the more you look the same as everyone else.

    What happens next is the customer doesn't see the value you're bringing them. So, if you do end up working with them, they argue over price and ask for a 'better deal'.

    This is because when two things look exactly the same, the only difference is price.

    And, every time you drop your price you lose integrity and credibility, as well as money...

    ...only this time it comes out of your bottom line, too.

    Your website needs to do the selling and persuasion for you, before you even speak to your customer.

    If your rankings are the problem, or your web design is bad, we'll let you know.

    We'll show you exactly why your competitors are better than you, and how to fix it.

    If your pricing, business model, offer, or  reviews are costing you more than your website, you'll hear that too.

    One Team One Owner

    Your project doesn't get passed between a designer, a copywriter, an SEO, aan account manager, and a developer who never speak to each other.

    This only  makes everything take longer to execute. Communication often breaks down, strategy gets weakened, creating weaker results.

    We build for Revenue and Results, not Design Awards

    A website that looks great but doesn't bring in work, is a failed project.

    That's what that looks like for you, no matter how good that website  looks in a design portfolio, or browser windo
