I Just Launched My Website… Now What?

Why Traffic Doesn’t Magically Appear (and What You Can Do About It)

You hit publish — your website is live! 🎉 The pages look good, your products are ready, and you’re officially in business.

But then reality hits…

Where’s the traffic? Why aren’t people showing up?

Here’s the truth most people don’t tell you: traffic doesn’t magically appear just because you have a website. Hitting “publish” is the first step — getting people to actually visit is where the real work begins.

Don’t worry though, I’ve got you. Let’s talk about how to start building momentum and get some real eyes on your site 👇

1. Share, Share, Share

You can’t expect people to find your website if you’re not talking about it.That means posting it, texting it, emailing it, linking it — everywhere.

✅ Add your website link to your social bios, email signature, and Google Business profile.

✅ Announce your launch like it’s major news (because it is).

✅ Ask your friends, family, and past clients to share it too — word of mouth is still powerful.

Pro tip: Don’t post it once and disappear. People miss posts all the time, so keep reminding them you’re live!

2. Send People Exactly Where They Need to Go On Your Website

This one’s a game changer.Instead of always sending people to your homepage, send them exactly where they need to go.

Someone asks about a product?

→ Send the product link.

They want to book a service?

→ Send the booking link.

They need to contact you?

→ Send the contact form.

Every link you share should lead someone directly to what they’re looking for. That’s how you turn clicks into customers.

3. Build That Email List Early

Even if you only have a few visitors, start collecting emails now.Offer something simple — a discount, a freebie, or even early access to new drops.

Your email list is one of your most powerful tools because it’s yours. No algorithm, no guessing who saw your post — just direct access to your audience.

4. Don’t Sleep on SEO

SEO might sound complicated, but it’s really just about helping people (and Google) understand what your site’s about.

Start with the basics:

• Use keywords your audience would actually type in.

• Write clear titles and meta descriptions.

• Add alt text to your images.

• Make sure your site loads fast and looks good on mobile.

  
  

SEO doesn’t blow up overnight — but if you stay consistent, it keeps paying off long-term.

5. Keep It Fresh

Google loves when your site feels alive. And honestly, so do people.

Add new products, post updates, share photos, or write a short blog once in a while. It shows that your business is active, current, and worth checking out again.

💡 The Real Talk
