Depending on the industry you’re in, you may not need a state-of-the-art infrastructure but you still need to ensure that your communication channels are reliable. Without a communication system you can count on, your employees’ productivity rates may decrease due to lack of team collaboration.

Use your website

This might sound obvious, but your website is a huge part of your brand. Having a user friendly website that caters to search engines’ web crawlers will lead to more visitors and customers. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is extremely beneficial and you should create a plan to use this to your advantage. 85% of clicks from search engines are organic links, so being top ranked is key. Additionally, you’ll need to make your website mobile friendly as search engines take that feature into consideration when ranking your website.

Track your analytics

Along with optimizing your website, tracking your analytics is important. Tools, like Google Analytics, help you understand where your online traffic is coming from and who is visiting which pages. It also tracks your off-page factors, like which social media handles are bringing in traffic or what other sites are referring visitors to your page.
