6 Ways to stay in touch with your clients

Eric Acevedo • November 27, 2020

Improving your communications with existing and potential customers is critical in these challenging times. Here are a few suggestions on how to make it easier for you to better communicate with your clients.

chat app

Enable online customer service

We can easily install the Facebook Messenger app to your website that will allow your website visitors to instantly chat with you or your customer service representative. Messages will immediately appear on your mobile device. No matter where you are, you will be able to instantly connect with your clients.

google duo

Chat Face-to-Face

​What happens when in-person meetings are not possible? Texting is great. But sometimes it’s just not the best way to respond to a customer or prospect. Maybe they’ve got a complex question or require a nuanced response that’s hard to tap out on your phone’s keypad. Video chat software such as Google Duo, Google Meet, and Zoom makes connecting remotely with customers as easy as sending a text. Send your customers a link and you can be video chatting in seconds, making it super simple to show details, answer questions, and share your screen.

calendly

Automate Scheduling Meetings

​No one likes scheduling meetings. Meeting schedulers such as Calendly are designed to handle the legwork for you. Integrating directly with your Google or Office 365 calendar, it gives you a personalized URL that allows customers to see your availability and schedule their preferred meeting time. Best of all, there’s a basic free plan available.

Email is King

​Email marketing remains one of the most effective and affordable ways to connect with current and future customers. Consider these statistics:

  • 93% of B2B marketers use email to distribute content.
  • 59% of B2C marketers say that email marketing is their biggest source of ROI.
  • More than 50% of B2B and B2C consumers check their email at least 20 times a day.

google my business profile

Google My Business Profiles

​Setting up your free Google My Business profile makes it more likely that your business shows up in relevant searches. Your customers will easily be able to find the services you offer, your office hours, your address, and more. We can help you ensure your information is accurate and comprehensive.

social media icons

Optimize Your Social Media Accounts

​There are dozens of social platforms out there but you want to focus on those that give you the best reach. Finding the right platform will depend on the type of business you run. If you’re B2B, LinkedIn’s likely your best channel. Otherwise, almost everyone is on Facebook, but if your product is highly visual you might see more success on Instagram or YouTube. Read our blog article "Why do Marketing with Social Media" to see a few reasons why you should use social media marketing for your business.

We’re thrilled to share an important milestone in website building. Duda has become the first CMS to achieve an impressive 80% Core Web Vitals (CWV) pass rate . This means most sites built on the Duda platform meet Google’s standards for speed, responsiveness, and visual stability. It's a win for us, but most importantly, a win for you and other agencies that build and create high-performing sites for clients. What are Core Web Vitals, and why do they matter? Just to jog your memory, CWV is a set of metrics Google uses to measure a site's user experience. These include factors like how fast a page loads ( Largest Contentful Paint ), how quickly it responds to user interactions ( Interaction to Next Paint ), and how stable the visual layout is while loading ( Cumulative Layout Shift ). Having high CWV scores not only enhances your site’s visitors' experience but also improves its SEO ranking, helping it stand out in search results. Don't just take it from us This achievements was mentioned by the Core Web Vitals Technology Report (cwvtech.report) - see it here. A quick note about the INP metric : Google introduced this relatively new one early this year, and we made an effort to optimize INP for all Duda sites. As you can see in the graph above, the results speak for themselves. Constantly improving site performance to empower agencies and SaaS companies Achieving this milestone is yet another testament to Duda’s continual commitment to delivering high performance. Along with our recent launch of our performance-driven Editor 2.0, Duda makes constant improvements under the hood, like: Working with our app partners to optimize apps for performance Improving and optimizing Javascript performance Optimizing font loading Identifying and preloading LCP images Lazy loading of images and iframes only when scrolled to Optimizing CSS size and order Optimizing images And a lot more. All these combined help agencies and SaaS companies deliver exceptional client sites. With Duda, you can build sites that excel in speed, reliability, and overall user experience. By focusing on Core Web Vitals, we’re ensuring that you’re not just meeting industry standards—you’re leading the way. And when your clients are happy, your business thrives. That’s a win-win.
