Digital marketing and web design agencies face unprecedented competition in today’s global market. Businesses and consumers have more options than ever before to choose from when vetting prospective web agencies for their next site build.

This has put tremendous pressure on agencies to find unique and innovative ways to position themselves in a way that clearly defines their value in the market. Seeing a unique opportunity and gap in the market, HireAWiz (HIREAWIZ.COM) sought to create a web-based solution that would empower and enable agencies to close millions of dollars in contracts by using website audits more effectively.

Out of this opportunity came My Web Audit, an SaaS product created to help agencies gain a competitive edge, communicate value, and sell more, faster through the use of results-focused website audits. Their forward-thinking approach to demonstrating value to prospects and customers in a way they can understand and delivering results has helped countless agencies grow, thrive and prosper.

The Challenge of Selling Websites

In today’s digitally-driven age, most business owners and professionals know that a website isn’t just a “nice to have” commodity, but an outright necessity to remain competitive. In fact, according to data from research firm RetialDrive, 87% of shoppers (including B2B) begin their buyer’s journey/sales cycle on digital channels. This means that not having a website can cost businesses up to 87% of their potential target audience.

Yet, even though the importance of having a high performing website is well known among the business community, many web design agencies still find making the sale a challenge. According to My Web Audit, “selling” ranks among the top factors hindering growth at most agencies they speak to.

Why is it so hard to sell web design services? Sticker shock, inability to convey value, “chop shops” undercutting prices, and the evolution of DIY solutions have left many design agencies feeling the crunch.

A New Approach to Selling Web Design

According to My Web Audit, many agencies have lost sight of what really matters:

• UI/UX: How easy it is for a visitor to use the site.
• Conversion rate optimization: How well does the site build trust and establish authority as a solution to the visitor’s problems or desired results.
• Site performance: How fast does the content on the site load. Slow sites lead to poor user experiences and frustration.
• Security: With over 50K sites getting hacked each day, it’s important that the site be secure and run on SSL to build confidence with the user browsing your site.
• Search engine optimization: How well is the site optimized so it can be found and displayed for relevant search results by popular search engines like Google and Bing.

In other words, many agencies have shifted focus to stunning designs and creative graphics, forgetting the core purpose of the website for most businesses is to generate more leads and sales. My Web Audit contends that it’s time to get back to fundamentals and to delivering value and results for clients. They provide further information on this strategy in their agency guide to website audits.

Web design clients count on agencies delivering a website that:

• Ranks on Google
• Inspires visitors to take action
• Converts prospects to leads, sales or opt-ins
• Instills trust
• Establishes authority
• And more…

In other words, not only do they want a website that looks great, but that performs well, hitting all of their KPIs and driving ROI. After all, websites are usually a large investment for a  business, and they should perform as such, yielding strong returns for years to come.

My Web Audit: the next generation of web audits 

My Web Audit was created out of a need for web audits that could be used by agencies to build true value and deliver results. The SaaS is designed to help agencies close more deals and deliver more leads for the business. They also make available a number of high-value free audit templates for web agencies on their site.

Website Audit

With features carefully crafted and engineered to help your customers while simultaneously growing your business, My Web Audit’s “audit” sets the gold standard in website analysis, combining both manual and automated audit points. The SaaS provides detailed audit reports with actionable insights that can be leveraged to educate and inform prospects by showing them vs. telling them about exactly what you can do to help them get better results. This leads to your agency closing more deals.

Although other site audit tools exist (such as those for SEO), My Web Audit is the only one that focuses on those factors that drive the needle in performance, ranking and conversion rate optimization. The company believes that websites should perform and function as good as they look, with each scan automatically identifying and analyzing 80+ of the most critical factors.

Factors analyzed include…
