What is Website Operations (WebOps)?
In today’s digital landscape, marketing cannot exist in isolation from the technology that powers it. The success of marketing initiatives depends on a holistic web ecosystem. This ecosystem can be referred to as WebOps. Think of WebOps as the intersection of IT, marketing, and security.
A solid technical foundation is essential for executing a successful marketing campaign, as it ensures reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure for smooth data flow and real-time performance. Security is another critical piece of the WebOps ecosystem, as it safeguards data collected throughout the campaign.
WebOps plays a critical role in streamlining and automating development workflows, enabling marketing teams to quickly execute campaigns while minimizing costs. Digital Polygon is here to help your business integrate these essential elements, optimizing each area to create a seamless, secure, and fast process for success.
How to Boost Lead Generation Campaign Performance with WebOps
Website Performance Optimization
Website performance is critical for marketing campaign success. Slow loading times or technical issues can lead to a poor user experience, causing potential customers to abandon the site before engaging with content or making a purchase.
High-performing websites can decrease bounce rates and result in visitors spending more time on your site, increasing the likelihood of conversion
A fast, responsive website ensures smooth interactions, improves conversion rates, and enhances overall customer satisfaction, maximizing the effectiveness of marketing efforts.
Website and Marketing Automation
WebOps automation allows us to efficiently validate that a campaign and the technology used to drive it are both running as expected. Automating security updates, CRM synchronization, and website health tests are all ways we can ensure we have a strong technical foundation in place to drive campaign success.
- Automated Updates - Automated updates ensure that the site stays protected by applying security patches and addressing vulnerabilities promptly.
- Automatic Sync with CRM - Automatic syncing with a CRM streamlines data management, ensuring that lead information is consistently up to date and enabling better marketing and sales alignment.
- Automated Tests - Automated tests can be set up to quickly identify issues that may ultimately impact website and campaign performance. A few examples of automated tests include performance testing, lead capture validation, broken link scans, and website SEO health scores. Running these tests early and often allows us to identify and resolve issues that would otherwise result in negative user experiences.
Website Monitoring
While automation is critical for streamlining repetitive tasks and checking for possible campaign and website issues, monitoring allows us to report on the findings that come out of our automated tests.
Monitoring helps to reduce manual intervention by identifying inconsistencies early and pointing stakeholders to the source of the issue. This allows development teams to address the issues quickly and effectively.
Website Security and Compliance
Security and compliance are critical for marketing campaign success because they ensure customer data is protected, fostering trust, and preventing legal or financial penalties. Penetration testing, accessibility, and data protection compliance, as well as static analysis, are all ways that we can ensure our infrastructure is secure.
- Penetration Testing - Penetration testing involves conducting tests to attempt to abuse or identify security loopholes. This ultimately allows us to resolve these vulnerabilities before a bad actor can do so.
- Accessibility compliance - Website accessibility compliance is important because it ensures that all users, including those with disabilities, can engage with your content, fostering inclusivity, enhancing user experience, and meeting legal requirements.
- Cookie & Data Protection - Adhering to regulations like GDPR also helps maintain a positive brand reputation and ensures campaigns run smoothly without legal complications.
- Static Analysis - With the help of automation, we run static analysis on code to identify vulnerabilities in the code base that ultimately help us improve site security
Continuous Deployments
Continuous deployments are a critical piece of lead generation campaign success. Continuous deployments release features as they are ready, rather than waiting for a 2 week sprint release cadence. Rapid updates and feature releases are critical for marketing success. A streamlined deployment process helps make this success possible.
