4. You Can Run Ads to Generate Traffic

In many of our advertising efforts, we tend to focus solely on lead capture. Lead capture is essential, but generating traffic is also extremely important.

More traffic to your business website means more opportunities for increased profitability and brand recognition to turn visitors into customers. More traffic helps increase the ranking of your company website in search engines, which increases your online discoverability.

Traffic generating ads could go farther for a lower budget as well because there’s less of a barrier to entry, since you’re not asking leads to fill out their info to learn more. Instead, you’re building trust and familiarity by offering some ungated content.
