To be a trusted company, you need to have a relationship with the customers for whom you are providing. When you provide a service or a product, there should be a dialogue with the audience to which you are pertaining. When there is no relationship and no dialogue and you make the product a one way, take it or leave it, street, you will have much less success and little to no trust from your customers. And that is no way to run a business. But there are simple things you can do to improve online customer experience which will only benefit your customer relations. Here are some neat ways to do just that:
Feedback Page
Sometimes customers will trust other customers rather than your ads. And you need to know what customers think about your product or service so that you know what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. A business is like a symbiotic system – the customer needs the product and vice-versa. So have an open feedback page, see where you stand in the popular opinion and where you need to make modifications.
Security Certificate
It always helps credibility when you can show and prove to your customers that you are protecting them. Make an effort to set up one, they are not expensive and they do a lot for you considering the small price you will pay for them. The smart visitors will always keep in mind whether there is or isn’t one present when they visit your website.
About Us Page
You might think this is a joke, but an About Us page will go a long way to helping your website and the customer’s online experience when visiting. You will be surprised how many websites there are where nobody states what they are for. The About Us page is the big mystery reveal, the information about who you are and what you do. What point is there to offer random services if nobody knows what you do and where do you come from? Keep the page up and ready on display at all times.
Good Visuals
A good-looking website will make a huge difference. A nice design will separate a professional service website from a web blog. Make it look good, because the customer will judge by the cover.
Content Checker
Always be aware of what goes on the website. Many websites have been hacked and nobody pays attention because only unused pages are being targeted. And that’s how it starts. Always have somebody to double check the contents of the website, and every page – from the home page, to the ever-neglected Terms & Services page. Even the slightest hiccup can be a huge problem in the long run, so monitor and fix all the time.

Social Media
You want your company to be popular among the social media. If the social media recognises your existence, then you will be a subject of conversation somewhere, in some sphere. With such conversations come reputation, popularity, and acknowledgement. You need all three to thrive – also, if you are popular with the social media, you will barely have to make use of any ads.
With all this your customers will be much more familiar with you and your work. Keep up the dialogue going and find solutions to any occurring problems. Keep that up and your website will be the key to your product’s success.
