30-Day Post-Launch Website Plan: Turn Your Site into a Lead Machine
Follow this 30-day post-launch plan to turn your new website into a lead-generating machine. A week-by-week roadmap with SEO, backlinks, and conversion strategies.
You did it — your website is finally live.
The design looks great, the pages load, and you’ve announced the launch on social media… but then reality hits:
traffic trickles in, and your inbox stays empty.
Don’t panic. The first 30 days after launch are the most critical window to turn your new site from “just live” into a lead-generating engine. What you do now determines whether you’ll build momentum or fade into the internet’s background noise.
This guide walks you through a four-week action plan that transforms your website into a measurable, optimized, and scalable lead system.
And if you want to speed up the process, you can let Amplify handle it — we offer free post-launch optimization for startups so you can focus on growth while we build your visibility. Learn more here.
