The short answer

Low visits point to traffic. Normal visits with no inquiries point to pages, trust or contact. Redesigning without data often fixes the wrong thing.

1. Buyers cannot find the site

Check indexing and impressions in Search Console. Fix SEO, and use Google Ads for short-term traffic.

2. Visitors are not buyers

Check countries and search terms. Focus on purchase-intent terms and add negative keywords.

3. Pages do not answer buyer questions

State specifications, materials, certifications, MOQ, lead time and customisation.

4. Buyers do not trust you

Show real factory photos, company details and shareable certifications.

5. Contact is hard

Keep forms short, test them on mobile and confirm they reach your inbox.

How to check

Install tracking, then check in order. Change one thing at a time.
