Turning a WordPress Website into a Lead-Generation Platform with SEO and Zoho CRM: A Case Study

December 21, 2024 Case Study

At Infomaze, we understand how frustrating it can be for businesses when a website attracts traffic but fails to generate leads. Inefficient systems, poor user experiences, and manual processes can hinder businesses from reaching their potential.

This case study demonstrates how we transformed a client’s WordPress website into a high-performing Lead-Generation Platform using WordPress SEO optimization and Zoho CRM Integration for lead management, nurturing, and converting them into customers. We also utilized various visitor behaviors to offer personalized discounts and options in real-time, significantly improving visitor-to-customer conversion rates.

Client Overview: Challenges with Lead Management Automation and Website Optimization

The customer already had a website and was spending heavily on Google Ads to run campaigns. They were getting visitors, but the visitor information was being sent to their email. Lead management was being handled manually through Excel files on different computers used by sales executives. There was no proper system for recording call notes, tracking calls, or managing follow-ups.

They later adopted a homegrown CRM system, but it lacked automation features like workflows, reminders, and proper integration. This inefficiency often frustrated their leads and prospects, as there was minimal communication from the business owner.

The Initial Challenges: Lead-Generation Platform Issues and Poor WordPress SEO Optimization

Before partnering with us, the client faced critical challenges:

Lack of WordPress SEO Optimization:
When the customer approached us, we found that although their website was aesthetically pleasing, it had no SEO work done. This resulted in low organic traffic, and they were overly reliant on paid ads.
High Bounce Rates:
The website lacked proper design to guide visitors to the information they needed, had very few call-to-action (CTA) elements, no forms, and suffered from a high bounce rate.
Manual Lead Management:
The client relied on email and Excel-based lead management automation, causing delays and errors.
Outdated CRM:
Their CRM system lacked Zoho WordPress integration, limiting automation features like workflows and reminders.

Mostly, their main challenge was converting traffic into leads and leads into customers, with very low success rates.
