Little or no backlink profile

Most websites that rank high on the first page of search results usually have links leading back to their site from high authority sites. If you're only relying on your blog's or website's content for organic site traffic then its no surprise you don't have any. The more backlinks your site has, the more authoritative it will seem to Google’s algorithms, which will then result in higher rankings.

How to fix it: Look for guest blogging sites with authority in your industry and submit content with backlinks to your blog or website for more site traffic..  

Terrible user experience on the site leading to a reduction in the site traffic.

Is your site mobile friendly? Does it have a slow load time? Is it easy to navigate? Your clients should have an easy time going through your site. Important information should be easy to find and all links should be appropriately placed.  It’s also important that the site be mobile friendly as over ¾ of all web users browse on mobile devices.

How to fix it: Have a website redesign that will enhance user experience.

Unclick worthy headlines.

This is one of the most overlooked aspects of site traffic. The headlines and meta descriptions have to be interesting enough to make people want to click on them. For example, if you're writing about websites, a headline like “professional websites: why are they so irresistible?’ is likely to get more clicks as opposed to just writing ‘all about professional websites”.

How to fix it: use catchy headlines that are bound to catch the reader's attention.
