What does it take to make a successful website? For most businesses and brands, it won’t happen quickly or easily. It will take time, effort, and resources. But that doesn’t mean you’ll need a huge budget to effectively compete.

Customer-feedback surveys are everywhere: at the bottom of cash-register receipts, at the end of phone calls with customer-service reps, and clogging the email inbox. Recently, I saw an electronic touch screen in an airport bathroom, soliciting my impression of cleanliness.
This barrage underscores the importance that many companies now place on customer experience. But it has diminishing returns, as many people don’t want to answer more surveys. No wonder that response rates have been declining for years. Yet without feedback, how can companies keep in touch with their customers’ needs and priorities?

Over the years, Zero-In has had a half-dozen versions of its website, and relaunching the site never seems to get any easier despite our attempts to learn lessons from each previous launch. In 2015 we set out to redesign our site once again with excitement, optimism, and confidence that prior web design blunders were a thing of the past. We conservatively planned to have the site up and running in less than six months. Spoiler alert... This project ended up taking nearly 18 months and cost 50% more than expected.

Google News has forever changed how readers keep up with the world around them. Previous generations of newsreaders first had to pick up a publication and then sort through, page by page, to find the headlines that captured their attention (oh, the tedium!). Never again. Today's newsies only need to visit Google News to behold an aggregated page of multiple sources that are grouped by topic and displayed in order of the reader's personal interests.

There’s no arguing that Google still has a stranglehold on the state and future of search engine optimization (SEO). In addition to being the dominant competitor (with 63.4 percent of the market, and the next leading competitor at 22.8 percent), Google is a leading provider of software and tools to measure your site’s performance, including Google Analytics and Google Search Console (previously referred to as Webmaster Tools). When Google makes a significant change to anything, whether it’s its core search algorithm or one of its products, search marketers take notice.

Analytics and data gives us all sorts of insights into what our customers want from our business. But sometimes… don’t you wish you could get an answer straight from your customers?
That’s what customer feedback is all about.
