- Do you wanna grow your traffic?
Well, of course you do.
Who doesn't want more traffic?
But, you know what?
You already know about the conventional ways
to grow your traffic,
such as make sure you use Google Analytics
or use tools like Moz, but there must be other ways.
And, you know what, there is.
Hey, everyone, I'm Neil Patel and, today,
I'm gonna share with you seven unknown marketing tools
that'll get you more traffic.
(soft electronic music)
The first tool I have for you is MeetEdgar.
And here's why I like MeetEdgar: it's a social sharing tool,
it's a bit different than Hootsuite and Buffer.
Yes, you can schedule out, you know, your tweets
and your shares on different social platforms.
What MeetEdgar does is it continually shares
the same article over time.
So let's say you create an article
and you want to share it on Twitter.
Most people just schedule them on Buffer or Hootsuite
and share it out once, but you know what?
If you share an article,
majority of your followers will not see it.
MeetEdgar will help you share that article
four, five, six, seven times
and that'll get you double, triple the traffic from Twitter.
Best of all, your users won't complain.
I've been doing this for myself, my clients
for a very long time, I'm talking years.
Works extremely well.
It's a simple way to just get more traffic
from your old content.
The second tool I have for you is subscribers.
Have you ever been browsing the web,
you know, you're using your Chrome browser
and then you see this notification
in your browser saying, like,
check this site out, check out this blog post,
hey, you have seven friends
who have birthdays today on Facebook.
Those are all push notifications.
Using Subscribers.com you can get people
to subscribe to your website,
it's 100% free and you can get them to keep coming back
'cause every time you have a new blogpost
and you're offering a new product,
you can send out a message using Subsccribers
to all of your user base
and it'll get them to come back to your website
and it'll get more sales and more traffic.
The third tool you ought to be using is Ubersuggest.
Yes, there's SEMrush, there's Moz, there's Ahrefs,
but what Ubersuggest did was take a lot of the features
in those tools that you're using
and, instead of charging for 'em,
they released them for free.
You can put in a keyword and it'll tell you
more recommendations on phrases
that you should add to your content to rank higher for.
You can put in a URL in Ubersuggest
and it'll tell you how much traffic that site's generating.
The cool part about Ubersuggest is you can put in
your competitor URLs, you can see all their top pages,
how many social shares they have,
what keywords they're ranking for,
and you can create similar content that's better
and go after those same terms.
The fourth tool you should be checking out is Typeform.
It's a serving tool and I know what you're thinking.
How's a serving tool gonna get me more traffic?
Well, you're creating content on your website
because you want more traffic,
but instead of just creating content
on whatever ideas you have,
why not survey your audience, find out what they want
you to write on and write on that content instead.
Because if you're producing the content
that your audience wants from you,
what do you think's gonna happen?
You're gonna get more traffic.
If you just produce whatever content you wanna create,
yeah, sure you're gonna have some people read it,
but, you know what, if your audience tells you
that they all want to read one specific article
and you're getting multiple recommendations for it,
I bet you, if you wrote an article on that,
it'll be a hit.
The fifth tool I recommend for you is Canva.
I know Canva's a design tool,
but there's a purpose that I'm including it.
With your website, when you have custom graphics,
especially for your blogposts,
they do way better on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn,
all the social sites out there.
People are tired of seeing stock photography.
It's beaten to death.
Yes, you can go to Fotolia, or Adobe
and buy stock photography images,
and even if you pay someone to modify 'em,
they're just still stock photography images.
Go to Canva, create your own custom images.
You don't have to have a design bone in your body.
It's a really easy to use tool,
and, I kid you not, you'll get more traffic.
The sixth thing you need to do,
and this is more like strategy plus a tool,
is A/B test your headlines.
Now most people would tell you that,
hey, if you want more Google traffic,
you need to create the most appealing headlines.
And that's true because, you know what?
If you do a search for something,
and you click on the second result
instead of the first result, it tells Google
that the second result is more relevant.
And if another thousand people do the same thing,
it tells them, hey, we should move the second listing
above the first one.
So, a lot of people say
you should just change your headline,
wait 30 days for Google to pick it up,
and if you get more clicks then you should leave it.
What I recommend doing, and this get you
the results way faster, is use Twitter.
I know it's a social network,
but I want you to use it as a tool in this case.
Take your URL, that blogpost that you created, that webpage.
Create four or five different variations of it
and, during the same time each week,
a Monday through Thursday,
tweet out different variations of that same URL
and see what gets the most clicks to your website.
Whatever gets the most clicks,
you can use like Bitly to track the link,
that's the headline that you should consider testing
to maximize your click-through rate on Google.
The last tool I have for you is LeadQuizzes.
You have people coming to your website.
One of the most engaging things you can do
is quiz your audience.
You have a weight loss site?
You can quiz 'em.
Find out how to lose weight.
A good example of this is Legion Athletics.
If you look at Legion, on their blog,
they have a quiz in the right sidebar.
When you're quizzing people,
and they're actually, funny enough, using LeadQuizzes,
not only are you quizzing people
because it's super engaging,
you're collecting an email at the end.
So now, when you have new content,
new products, new services, you can email out
all of those emails that you collected
about your new product or new blogpost
and get 'em back to your website.
So that's it.
I know a lot of these tools aren't as common,
but they work, you'll get a ton of traffic
because other people aren't doing this stuff.
