What is the Role of User Experience in Marketing?

The user experience is extremely important to every business that wants to have an online presence.

First, Google has come out and said that they are going to start prioritizing the user experience and changing their algorithms to give priority to websites that rank well in those factors. So usability, speed, and site performance are going to be more important than ever.

Every brand that relies on organic traffic must implement changes to increase its Google Core Vitals, which are a way that Google measures site performance.

Second, the user experience directly correlates with conversions and sales. If users are finding it hard to use your site then they are less likely to make a purchase. This includes various factors such as site speed, mobile friendliness, clarity, speed, etc.
