- Repeat marketing campaigns that worked. Did you have a couple of stand-out months in 2023 according to the visitors by month report? Take a look back at what you did and repeat what really worked. If it’s hard to figure out what you did, remember to take notes in 2024 using Site Notes.
- Focus on channels that converted. Take a look at your Top 5 Sources report. Which sources have the highest conversion rates? Focus on those channels in 2024 to attract the traffic that’s most likely to convert.
- Create more top content. What were your top pages in 2023? Why were they at the top? Think about what content you can create that’ll see the same kind of success.
- Build more backlinks and create more partnerships. Do you see any opportunities in your top referrals report? If you get some traffic from a specific social media channel or other site, there might be opportunities there to create more referral traffic in 2024. Maybe you could reach out to the referral site to create a partnership, or plan more social content for the channel you got the most interest on.
