Here are the steps:

1. Create awareness: How good are you at reaching new prospects and driving them to your website?
2. Attract interest: How effective is your site in encouraging users to find out more about your products and to understand their journey through your site?
3. Build interest: To what extent does your site nurture visitors and create repeat visits (with prospects and customers coming back to get extra value from your online content)?
4. Convert to sales: How successful is your site at converting quality leads to sales?
5. Nurturing: How effective is your ongoing online communication with prospects and customers? Does it keep them informed and encourage them to build a relationship with your company, explore its content, contact you and enable you to cross-sell?
