3 Critical Reasons Your Blog Should Be Expertly Evaluated

I’ve been blogging for roughly 6 years now, and if there’s one component I’ve learned is invaluable, it’s the power of feedback.

Even the most seasoned professional still consults with an outside source. Feedback gives you the ability to see your blog through a different set of eyes, experience what your users experience, and make improvements to your blog that show both short and long-term results. Listen up!

1. Define How Effective Is Your Blog for New Visitors

If you’re like me, you probably see your blog multiple times a day, everyday. In addition to what you see, you have a vision of what the blog should be. This makes it extremely difficult for you to see how the blog actually is.

A critical skill that an outsider has is the ability to see the blog for the way it currently is. Are you really using that advertising space to the best of its potential? Are those colors really attractive to first time viewers? A fresh set of eyes can clearly identify what does and doesn’t work.

2. Get Helpful Information from a Reliable Source

It’s easy to ask your buddy what he thinks of your blog’s design or usability. You might even ask the occasional twitter follower about suggestions. However, it’s important to receive educated opinions and detailed suggestions on improvement.

There’s a certain amount of “peace of mind” that comes with discussing ideas with an expert. I know when I talk to Jim Connolly about marketing, I’m getting good advice.

My friends may have good suggestions, but they don’t have the expertise to understand and help guide me in a profitable direction.

3. Find Resources You Didn’t Have Before

The final advantage of seeking expert advice is that experts have a lot of reliable resources. You might spend hours searching for a solution and come up with something that “kinda looks like it might work.” Having a trained professional evaluate your blog’s needs and direct you to the proper service cuts back on the stress and increases the odds that you will have a more satisfying first experience.

Would you take an over-the-counter medicine recommendation from your doctor, or your sibling? Would you ask your next door neighbor about their maid service or call a random number left in your mailbox?

Having expert analysis of your blog gives you reliable, honest, fresh information and allows you to reap more direct benefits.

Where Can You Find Expert Feedback for Your Blog?

I’ve been working for years to perfect the website critique criteria, and I’m finally ready to share it with the world. If you’re interested in getting affordable, honest, thorough feedback on your blog, look no further than Nimblu.

At Nimblu, we thoroughly critique your website based on the five following key areas:

Immediate Impression

What is the first thing that comes to mind when visitors view your blog? Find out as we score your blog’s first impressions using our  easy-to-understand rubric, which outlines how effective your blog is upon arrival. Does your blog draw interest at first glance?

Design Concept and Execution

The design of your blog designates branding, interaction, and highlights key content areas. Our experts evaluate your design based on concept (how well it fits with your brand and intended purpose) and execution (how well it works within the website). Receive detailed critiques on design elements and links to example designs.

Content Syntax and Persuasiveness

Content is one of the most important elements of a blog. It draws in readers and keeps them coming back for more. At Nimblu, we thoroughly read and evaluate your content in order to give expert suggestions on structure, persuasion, style, tone, and grammar.

Usability

How easy is your blog to interact with? Are users really going to be clicking on your rotating banner ads? Should you include that tag cloud? Nimblu goes through the processes of your website and gives feedback and suggestions on how to enhance the user’s experience, and increase your pageviews and conversions.

Overall Impression

One of the most important and most helpful parts of our service is the final wrap-up. We sum up ideas, solutions, and resources for you to take and implement in the “overall impression” category. Your blog is also assigned a score from 1-5 based on another of our thorough evaluation rubrics. See how your website truly stacks up.
