Sometimes when we start a conversation with new customers they tell us having a website is of no use for their business, they have a website from decades and not a single lead comes from it. sounds the same scenario with you.
Read this, Yes we say a website is necessary for every business or to make an online present website is necessary. The second sentence is more prominent nowadays. Having website is not a solution but having a website like one of the asset is essential for online presence.
Back to the question – Why is my website not generating any traffic or business?
Reasons are:
1. The website has been live but no one knows it?
2. No awareness of website on search engines, social medias, directories, online classifieds?
