Understand Your Buyer > How to connect with your buyer > Start Here Domain

What is it?

A “start here” domain is a simple link you can use to help people understand what you offer and how to interact with you. It’s literally a starting point for their relationship with you.

Why does it work?

Some businesses and individuals have complex offers and do lots of things, as such it can be tough to know exactly how to find what you want. Using a “start here” style page is a way to highlight the main products, services or problems solved by the business which allows a buyer to find what they need.

How can you use it?

Using my own page as an example, think about listing the top 1/2/3/4 services, products or things you offer buyers and followers. Then create a “/start” or “start-here” page on your website to bring everything together in one easy to share link.
