Business owners, like most of Moogo users are, are mostly extremely busy, but sometimes you just might have that extra 30 minutes. And when you do have it, you probably want to use it wisely.

Therefore here are 3 great suggestions how you can use these 30 minutes to improve your website.

 

1) Write a blog post

If you don't already keep a blog, you should consider doing it. Blog doesn't only give you the opportunity to provide useful information to your visitors, but also contributes to your SEO (Search Engine Optimization - read more about it) - ensures that your websites is easily findable through search engines like Google and Yahoo.

Every blog post therefore serves at least two good purposes: gives valuable information to your readers and contributes to the SEO of your website. Isn't that a well spent 30 minutes?

2) Update news

I'm sure you have seen websites that have outdated information on their pages. You don't want to have one of those websites, do you?

Even when your information is not outdated, but your last news is from several months ago, it's time to refresh it. No need to squeeze out news if you don't have any, but I'm sure there's always some updates to give once in a while. If you don't have any updates for too many months, perhaps you don't need to display news on your website.

3) Talk to your visitors

When you're not sure what to spend your time on then talking to customers is never wasted time.

If you have a forum, reply to their messages there. If they have commented on your blog, reply to their comments. If you have a mailinglist, send your customers a message. Wouldn't hurt to get some feedback? Create a feedback form and send your visitors there.

There are many ways to communicate with your customers, so open the channels and it will have positive influence on your business!
