Got it? Ok, here’s a little explaining into exactly what we mean. We know you’re now probably thinking about or going through your website to see if you really are focusing on yourself so much. And, reality is you probably are—and didn’t even realize it.
If your website is talking about what you as a company do and why you are so awesome, you need to change this. To increase website conversion you should put yourself in your the shoes of your ideal customers and ask the following questions in order to think of what content to have on your website.
A great example of a company that speaks directly to it’s customers and doesn’t just talk about itself is Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss Ice Cream. Immediately upon reading the about page you feel as if you know the company, that it understands your needs as a consumer and are worried about serving your needs. Perfect!

This could have gone completely different. Instead, if the Cococunt Bliss’ site was talking about themselves and not having its customers in mind, it would have just had an about section where it described that it was a company that sold lactose free ice cream made out of coconut and it was the best because...and so on and so on. Sound familiar? Yep, because most companies do this. Make the change now! Don’t be one of them!
