Why your Landing Page
Doesn’t Convert
Conventional landing page Conversion Advice
Lots of advice… little results.

Why are people still writing articles
about how to increase conversions?!?
What the articles don’t tell you…

There’s something missing!
and that something is the biggest reason
why your landing pages don’t convert.
What’s Missing

What’s missing is an understanding of your customers’!
!

real, juicy, gut-wrenching problems
Another wording…

Your landing page isn’t converting!
because you don’t understand your customers’!
!

real, juicy, gut-wrenching problems
Lots of advice… little results.
Provide pain relief

To design and write a successful landing page, you have to be passionate
about people and their problems. Only when you tap into how people FEEL
about their problems can you provide a solution.

Useless!
Advice!
(these tips are useless if you aren’t!
hitting on a big enough pain point)
You can’t skimp on research

These problems are rarely uncovered:!
!

•

Using online survey’s alone!
By interviewing 5-10 customers!

When you assume *anything* about what they
think and feel!

customers real, juicy, gut-wrenching problems.!
