Five ways to introduce your website without increasing ad spend

Summary

Introduce your website through five existing touchpoints and useful articles, with relevant destination pages, tested links, and records of time and enquiries.

Published

Existing cards or profiles can carry a website URL. Explain what the page provides and choose a destination relevant to the reader’s task.

Methods without additional ad spend still require writing and editing time. Choose sustainable touchpoints rather than assuming all five are necessary.

Introduce the page through five touchpoints

Choose destinations according to the recipient’s information need.

Business cards and printed materials

Link service details and check QR codes and written URLs.

Business profiles

Align the offering with the website description.

Replies to individual enquiries

Share existing pages answering the question, rather than mass-contacting unrelated people.

Shop notices

Direct readers to relevant hours or menu pages.

Articles answering real questions

Use actual work experience and sources to answer recurring questions.

Match the promise to the destination

Link price announcements to prices and opening information to current schedules. Google’s SEO guide explains helping search engines understand content and users find a site. (Google Search Central: SEO Starter Guide)

Test the destination and information rather than promising rankings or traffic from publication alone.

Record editing time and responses

Log placement, date, and time spent. Count views, enquiries, and orders separately when deciding which touchpoints to continue.

Maintain materials and profiles after URL or operational changes. Test older shared links and improve recurring questions.
