Who is your target audience? What types of visitors do you wish to attract?
This is a really important question. Think about your target audience - when they look for a site or company like yours, what do they want to know? What are they looking for? What do you want them to do? For example, a realtor might answer, "My visitors will want to find local listings." A tax practitioner might answer, "My visitors will want to know when the next estimated tax payment comes due or what to do if the IRS sends them a notice that they are being audited." This list will be your guideline for the kind of content you will place on your website. Look at this question from various angles, such as what makes my product or service attractive, why should they buy from me? What's unique or special about what I have to offer?
