Congratulations — your website is live!  But launching is just the beginning. The next big step is getting people to visit, explore, and take action on your site. Whether you're a small business owner, freelancer, or professional, promoting your website effectively is key to building visibility, trust, and growth.

Here are the top 7 ways to promote your website after it’s live:

1. Share It on Social Media

Social media is one of the easiest and fastest ways to spread the word about your new website.

Here’s how:

• Share the link on your personal and business profiles.

• Create posts about what’s new, services you offer, or benefits of your site.

• Add your website link to your bio on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

💡 Bonus Tip: Create short videos or reels introducing your website — they get more reach and engagement.

2. Send It on WhatsApp and SMS

Your personal network can be your first customers or referrers. Send a polite message with your website link to:

• Family and friends

• Existing customers

• Business groups or WhatsApp communities

Keep it short and to the point. For example:

"Hi! We’ve just launched our new website 🚀 — www.yourbusiness.in.page. Have a look and feel free to share!"

 

3. Add It to Your Business Card and Email Signature

Include your website on all printed and digital materials:

• Business cards

• Brochures or flyers

• Email signature (e.g., “Visit us: yourbusiness.in.page”)

This ensures that everyone you interact with has access to your website, even if you're not online.

4. List It on Google Business Profile

If you haven’t already, create or update your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and link your website.

Why it matters:

• It helps people find your business in Google Search and Maps.

• Adds credibility and visibility for local searches.

• Boosts SEO and improves trust.

Make sure your profile is complete with photos, services, hours, and of course — your website URL.

5. Start Blogging (Even Short Posts Help)

Adding fresh content to your website is great for both visitors and search engines.

You don’t need to be a writer. Just post:

• Tips related to your business

• Industry updates

• Customer stories or case studies

• FAQs or “how-to” articles

This builds authority and brings in organic traffic from Google over time.

6. Collaborate with Others

Partnerships can expand your reach. You can:

• Ask happy clients to share your site

• Collaborate with complementary businesses (e.g., a gym & nutritionist)

• Join local online directories or community websites

Even a single mention with a link to your site can bring quality traffic and improve your visibility.

7. Use Basic SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

SEO might sound technical, but you can do the basics yourself:

• Use your main keywords in the page titles and content

• Add alt text to images (describing what the image shows)

• Include a clear meta title and description for every page

• Submit your site to Google Search Console

If you’re using a builder like GetIndiaOnline, most of this is already easy to manage in the dashboard.

💡 Bonus: Promote on Online Forums or Classifieds

Sites like JustDial, IndiaMART, OLX, or Facebook groups allow you to post business links. Make sure your site is mentioned in every profile or post.
