Need A VA – Explains Why You Need a Website


When you are a business or service you will need a branded website that promotes your business or service across all social media platforms so people instantly identify you.

What typically happens is that people will research you and you perhaps have done the same thing when you have researched for a holiday destination or something that you are thinking about purchasing you would do a few things:

– Google the company
– Search for reviews real clients that have been to that resort or used that service
– Social media to find out what they are saying online
– Go to the website

You may have yourself done a few or all of the above things to satisfy your thirst to know more before investing anything.

When it comes to your website you have around 6-9 seconds to gain a new customer or someone that wants to subscribe to your site so its really important that your website is:

– Has branding that represents your product or service
– Easy to navigate the things that the customer is looking for
– Able to educate giving product knowledge
– Mobile responsive

A website visitor will go to your website and start clicking links that they are interested in or scroll down the page until they see your “call to action” that means that the owner asks them to click on the button to buy the service, download a free video, report or ebook or perhaps the call to action is up the top of the page where you add your name and email address to subscribe to a newsletter for instance.

So many people get it wrong – here is why:

My tale of woe is when I started online some 10 years ago and was keen to get a website up not knowing anything about the functionality of a website or how to have a converting website. The designer made it look pretty though – well I thought so at the time and kept on adding to my wish list of things that I wanted on the site and in the end I spent close to $9,000 which is way too much and the website was like a lame duck and did not convert at all. To this day its never been used for the purpose I had it built it for and was an expensive lesson that I learnt.

You see the web designer had the talent to build a site and to make it look nice but was not trained for how people and especially Google see the site when they both visit.

We are different at Need a VA and we get it RIGHT!

We have had our work displayed on Huffpost, BON BON Network (TV show in NY) and used by hundreds of various businesses and services each  design different and eye catching.

As we have a highly experienced website and graphic design team we ensure that we get it right from the start and we do a mock up of how the lay out of the site will look when completed.

Also….

– We look at a heat map of where people look once they are on the site
– Google analytics will be installed to show you how people are finding your site and what words that they are typing in Google to find your business.
– We use beautiful themes to give your site functionality that you need to keep the site updated
– The designers conceptualise and take on board your ideas and they produce beautiful graphics, logos and ebook covers to make your site stand out from your competitors
– Mobile responsive

Discovers 9 Queen Termites



A1 Pest Control Canberra Discovers 9 Queen Termites!
http://needava.com

Today we sent the team out to Kambah for a termite inspection on a tree that was cut down last year and the stump had been decorated with gnomes.

We found the colony and in the royal chamber there were 9 Queen Termites. This will mean after the chase out we will be doing a barrier around the house to protect the home from the termites.

While the inspection was taking place the woman next door is also wanting a termite inspection. A lot of our days lately are on termites and advising courses of action to take.

FACTS ABOUT TERMITES.

1) there is only 1 Queen termite who’s main purpose is to lay up to approx 30,000 eggs per day! The other 8 we found today are to ensure the colony lives on should something happen to the Queen.

2) a Queen & King will only fly once and that is to find a place to start a new colony and then will shed their wings and never fly again.

3) a Queen termite can live up to 50 years of age in her lifetime lay 165 million eggs. The worker termites only live around a year but are easily replaced by the Queen.

4) worker termites are there to feed the Queen and find food sources for themselves.

5) The only way to successfully kill a termite colony is by killing the queen. She never leaves her chambers you have to find a way of getting to her.

Killing all the workers is not enough as she can quickly replace them.

Are You Using Outsourcing In Your Business? No…Then Your Missing Out…

Outsourcing is one of the quickest ways to leverage your business in a world that is extremely competitive and if outsourcing is not on your to do list for 2017 I can tell you now that your competitors are definitely using outsource services to grow their businesses through streamlining processes and automation.

For example below are some of the services Need a VA provide.
  • Outsource your client work to us. Many of our clients train the virtual assistant in doing their work in the way they want it done – this enables them to take on more clients and make more money as outsourcing is approximately a third of the cost of hiring a new staff member.
  • Social Media to get their business seen and build a relationship with potential clients.
  • Lead generation using different strategies that talk directly your customer. This year alone using a Linkedin strategy we were able to get one of our clients $35K of extra work for his service industry…can you imagine what that did for his business!
  • Bookkeeping have our talented staff that use ANY popular soft you have to prepare your book work and do the wages for your staff saving you thousands of dollars. We currently work with big US based companies with 200-400 employees on their books that we prepare their weekly wages.
  • Funnels if you are not using a funnel to build your lists of targeted people to market to time and time again you are leaving money on the table. We have Facebook and Google ad experts on our staff to split test your ads to get you leads.
  • Local Business SEO using this method to bring more clients through your door.
  • Customer service to help retain customers that you have. Its cheaper to maintain a customer you already have rather than attract new ones. Are you running webinars? What is your follow up after its over – we can help with that or personally introduce your new customer to groups.
  • We can confirm appointments, book leads in your diary for you to speak with.
  • Day to day admin tasks, data entry or compliment the skills you don’t have in your office without the expense of hiring new staff.
  • e-Commerce teams such as Amazon, Shopify and e-bay all trained to do the tasks you would normally need to do yourself.
  • Branding through beautiful websites, graphics, logo’s, book covers etc. You have exactly 6 seconds for your customer to decide if they want to stay on your site it MUST be easy to navigate, load quickly, well laid out so your customer can find what they are after. The branding needs to be consistent from website through to social media people need to readily connect the brand with your business.
I really hope that you can see the vision for your company in using outsourcing as the way forward to leverage your business.
