Why Your Website Isn’t Bringing in Leads — And How to Fix It
You built a website expecting it to bring customers, but instead, you’re seeing visitors come and go without taking action. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
74.7% of Indian website visitors abandon their carts without buying, and many more leave without even considering your products or services.
But here’s the good news: Most of these problems have simple solutions — once you know what to look for.
The Real Numbers Behind Website Problems in India
Only 2.4% of website visitors in India convert into customers. That means 97 out of 100 visitors leave without taking any action.
And it gets worse:
53% of mobile users abandon websites that take longer than 3 seconds to load.
Mobile users make up the majority of traffic for most Indian websites.
Problem #1: Your Website Takes Too Long to Load
Why This Kills Your Leads
Every second of delay reduces your conversion rate by 0.3%. A 3-second delay = 9 leads lost per 100.
Simple Speed Fixes
Compress Your Images using tools like TinyPNG
Choose Better Hosting (avoid cheap shared hosting)
Remove Unused Plugins from WordPress
Action Point: Test speed with Google PageSpeed Insights. If below 70, start by compressing images.
Problem #2: Your Website Doesn’t Work on Mobile
Common Mobile Problems
Tiny unreadable text
Buttons too small to tap
Horizontal scrolling
Pop-ups that can’t be closed
Mobile Fixes You Can Apply
Use Responsive Design
Make Buttons Finger-Friendly
Simplify Mobile Navigation
Action Point: Open your site on your phone. Can you navigate, read, and purchase easily?
Problem #3: Visitors Don’t Know What Action to Take
Why Your CTAs Fail
Vague buttons: “Click Here”
Poor visibility: buttons blend into background
Too many options causing confusion
CTAs placed too low
Creating CTAs That Work
Use Clear, Action-Oriented Language (“Get a Free Quote”)
Make Them Visually Stand Out
Repeat CTAs 3–5 times per page
Create Urgency (“Only 5 spots left!”)
Action Point: Count CTAs on your homepage. Fewer than 3? Add more today.
