This week LJ and Rob sat down with Janet Bartoli, Found of Bartoli Consulting.

Janet and her team focus on helping recruiting & staffing companies use inbound marketing to attract top talent & clients.

Janet believes the first step for inbound is to get your website set up for success.

Here are Janet’s three tips:

1. User Experience - Navigational ease and logical user interface that transforms users into customers seamlessly & immediately informs the visitor who you are and who you help.
2. Visibility - An invisible website is as good as a nicely designed paperweight. If search engines can't find you, you're pouring money down the drain. How? Get Google Search Console set up and have a full technical and content audit and analysis done by an SEO professional. 
3. Lead Capture - Your 5-page site with one contact form? It's a relic. Multiple contact options pave the way for more potential client interaction.

Bonus Tip: A content strategy that wins searchability once the new Google Search Generative Experience rolls out next year.
