1. What is a Landing Page
A landing page is the web page a potential customer arrives at
after expressing interest in one of several forms of advertising:
 A banner ad
 A Google AdWords or AdSense ad
 A search engine result (like Google)
 A link in an email
 Print advertising
 TV commercials

2. Why Should I Use a Landing Page
Landing Pages help increase visibility & conversion!
Targeted promotion or product specific landing pages
are focused on a single objective that matches the
intent of the ad that your visitors clicked on to reach
your page.
* “Conversion” - The point at which a recipient of a marketing message performs a desired action.

3. Landing Pages VS Homepages
*Using a standalone landing page compared to sending visitors to your homepage is considered to improve conversions rates by approximately 25%
(source Omniture).
Pros of using landing pages for online marleting campaigns
 Focuses on conversion
 Removes Distractions
 Fulfills the promise of your PPC ad
 You can A/B test a landing page
 You can create different versions for different ads
Homepages are not designed with only one unique goal in mind, and if we want to get some results from our campaigns and maximize their
ROI we’ll need a specific page that it’s been designed with conversion in mind – a Landing Page.

4. When should I Use a Landing Page
Cases when using a landing page can result in a higher conversion:
 Use a landing page in every ad, PPC or offline, to lead people to a place to get more info
 Use a landing page to drive people to your events
 Use a landing page to enroll people in your email newsletter
 Use a landing page to promote your new product launch
 Use a landing page to promote your free eBook
 Use a landing page to give away a free printable guest pass to an event in your store
 Use a landing page as a personalized destination in the resource box from a guest blog post or
a contributed article
 Use a landing page to offer Facebook users a printable coupon
 Use landing pages to personalize your social media profile links

5. Types of Landing Pages
There are 3 main categories of landing pages:
1.Standalone Landing Pages: These include; Click Through, Lead Capture,
Infomercial and Viral landing pages.
2.Microsites: A small multi-page website usually created as a supplement to
the main website.
3.Internal Website Landing Pages: Homepages and product detail pages.

Lead Generation Landing Page Click Through Landing Page

Lead Generation Landing Pages
 Lead generation landing pages are used to capture user
data, such as a name and email address. The sole purpose
of the page is to collect information that will allow you to
market to and connect with the prospect at a subsequent
time.
 As such, a lead capture page will contain a form along with
a description of what you’ll get in return for submitting
your personal data.

Lead Generation Landing Pages
There are many uses for lead generation landing pages,
some example uses and the items given to the user are listed below:
 EBook or whitepaper
 Webinar registration
 Consultation for professional services
 Discount coupon/voucher
 Contest entry
 Free trial
 A physical gift (via direct mail)
 Notification of a future product launch

Click Through Landing Pages
 Click-through landing pages do exactly what it says on the tin.
Unlike lead gen landing pages, they don’t have a form on the page
asking people to opt in. Instead, they have a goal of convincing
visitors to click through to another page (where the actual
conversion happens).

Click Through Landing Pages
 Click trough landing pages are frequently used in ecommerce funnels
to describe a product in detail and “warm up” visitors for their
purchasing decision. They combat the cognitive dissonance that is
created when someone clicks on an ad for a specific product and they
wind up on a seemingly irrelevant generic product page.

7. The Anatomy of a Landing Page.
Landing Page Elements
1. Unique Selling Proposition (USP) factor that differentiates a product from its
competitors, such as the lowest cost, the highest quality or the first-ever product
of its kind. A USP could be thought of as “what you have that competitors don't.”
a) The main headline
b) A supporting headline
c) A reinforcement statement
d) A closing argument
2. The hero shot
a) images
b) video showing context of use
3. The benefits of your offering
a) A bullet point list summary of benefits
b) Benefit and features in detail
4. Social proof (I’ll have what she’s having)
5. A single conversion goal — your Call-To-Action (CTA) (with or without a form)

 MESSAGE MATCH BETWEEN AD & PAGE
Look for words and phrases that are used in the ad to be echoed
on the landing page. Message match should be extremely obvious, not hidden or inferred.
 MOTIVATION MATCH
If the ad is a promise (“click here, get this”), the landing page should pay off the promise.
 VISUAL MATCH
If the traffic is arriving at the landing page from display, social, email or other visually-oriented
sources, ensure a tight visual match between the ad and the landing page.
 DIRECTIONAL CUES
Directional cues are design elements that point the user towards the desired action. Don’t be afraid
to make it very visually obvious—use cues such as arrows or fingers pointing to the call to action.

 POSITIVE, VALUE-DRIVEN CTA
Don’t make your call to action a command, make it something they want to do.
For example, use “Get started” instead of “Submit”. Or “Download tips to boost performance” instead of “Download”.
 SCANNABLE, EASILY-READ COPY
Use bullets and keep the page copy short. Use subheads and short copy blocks.
 RESPONSIVE DESIGN
Use responsive landing page design to automatically adjust the page to the
visitor’s screen size, or create device-specific versions of the pages.
 TRUST ELEMENTS USED
Over 70% of Americans say they look at product reviews before making a purchase.
Include social proof - testimonials, customer & partner logos, community ratings, or
social plugins for Twitter & Facebook. Include a privacy statement, or link to a privacy
policy, and any third-party verification that’s applicable, such as TRUSTe, Verisign, etc.

 PRIORITIZED CONTENT ABOVE THE FOLD
Call to action, offer conversion point and main value should be located above the fold.
 RECIPROCITY
Use reciprocity on your landing pages by including offers that ask for information
but deliver something in return (e.g. sign up for our course and receive a free ebook!).
 OVERALL GOOD IMPRESSION (YES, IT’S SUBJECTIVE)
Often the landing page is the first impression a visitor has of your company—make it a great one.
 SCARITY & URGENCY
Using the parallel powers of scarcity and urgency, you can boost your conversions and your revenue.
 PERCEIVED LOW BARRIER TO CONVERSION
Break up long forms into multi-step experiences, using a simple 1 or 2 field form as the first step.
For longer registrations, set visitor expectations by giving progress bars and/or written & visual indicators of what to expect.

8. A/B testing
A/B testing (sometimes called split testing) is comparing
two (or more) versions of a web page to see which one
performs better. You compare two web pages by showing the
two variants (let's call them A and B) to similar visitors at the
same time. The one that gives a better conversion rate, wins!

8. A/B Testing Framework
 Collect Data: begin with high traffic areas of your site or app, as that will allow you to
gather data faster. Look for pages with low conversion rates or high drop-off rates that
can be improved.
 Identify Goals: our conversion goals are the metrics that you are using to determine
whether or not the variation is more successful than the original version. Goals can be
anything from clicking a button or link to product purchases and e-mail signups.
 Generate Hypothesis: Generating A/B testing ideas and hypotheses for why you think
they will be better than the current version.
 Create Variations: Using your A/B testing software make the desired changes to an
element of your website or mobile app experience. This might be changing the color
of a button, swapping the order of elements on the page, hiding navigation elements,
or something entirely custom.
 Run Experiment: Kick off your experiment and wait for visitors to participate! At this
point, visitors to your site or app will be randomly assigned to either the control or
variation of your experience. Their interaction with each experience is measured,
counted, and compared to determine how each performs.
 Analyze Results: Once your experiment is complete, it's time to analyze the results.
Your A/B testing software will present the data from the experiment and show you the
difference between how the two versions of your page performed, and whether there
is a statistically significant difference.

8. A/B Testing Tools
1. Unbounce
Unbounce lets you build, publish and test responsive landing pages, without any
knowledge of HTML. With its friendly, easy to use interface, working with
elements is simple, with the ability to tweak any aspect of your page.
2. VWO
VWO is one of the easiest A/B Testing tools, with the ability to easily change
headlines, buttons, images or any other elements to create multiple variations of
your website to test. You can track revenue, signups, clicks and other conversion
goals and get real statistical data and results.
3. Google Analytics Experiments
Google Analytics 'Experiments' makes it a complete A/B testing platform which
utilizes Googles multi-armed bandit approach. The tool allows you to split-test up
to 10 full versions of a single page, each delivered to users from a separate URL.

10. Landing Page Optimization
What Should I Test on My Landing Pages?
Some of the elements you should consider testing:
 Size and position of logo
 Main headline/subheadline (which typically contains a brief rendering of your product/offer/service core value proposition). Test
the size, position, and color of the headline.
 The call to action (CTA): Typically the text on the button that represents your page’s conversion goal.
 Hero shot: Try a variation of your main photo (if you have one) – preferably showing your product or service being used in context.
 Button design: Use design principles to accentuate the appearance of your CTA (contrast, whitespace, size). Above all, try making
it bigger.
 Button color: green for “GO”, blue for link color, orange or red for emotional reaction.
 Long copy vs. short copy: Often shorter is better, but for certain products detail is important in the decision making process. Test it
and see.
 Form length: For lead capture and other form usage, you will want to minimize the amount of ﬁelds that visitors are required to
complete. However, if you have a particularly strong need for data, try running an A|B|C|D|E test with varying amounts of
information gathering.
 Layout
 Links
 Testimonials
 Awards and badges
 The overall color scheme

9. A/B Testing and SEO
 No Cloaking
Cloaking is an SEO technique in which the content presented to the search engine
spider is different from that presented to the user's browser. Make sure that you're
not deciding whether to serve the test, or which content variant to serve, based on
user-agent.
 Use rel=”canonical”
Publishers should make use of the reel=canonical method to ensure that any
alternative pages reference what should be the main one.
 Use 302s, Not 301s
If you're running an A/B test that redirects users from the original URL to a variation
URL, use a 302 (temporary) redirect, not a 301 (permanent) redirect. This tells search
engines that this redirect is temporary - it will only be in place as long as you're
running the experiment - and that they should keep the original URL in their index
rather than replacing it with the target of the redirect (the test page). JavaScript-based
redirects are also fine.
 Don’t Run Experiments Longer Than Necessary
If you’ve been running an experiment longer than Google expects one should run, it
warns that you could face penalty. How long is too long isn’t said.

11. Post-Conversion Marketing Ideas
for Your Confirmation / “Thank you” Page
“statistics show that it takes six to seven contacts before you can turn a
prospect into a customer.”

“Take advantage of that magic moment directly after the customer says “Yes, I like you”
*The lead generation confirmation page could be considered the digital equivalent of a supermarket candy shelf. Admit it, you’ve fallen victim
to those shelves of sweet goodness stacked by the checkout as you wait in line – aimlessly throwing crap you don’t need into your basket.

 Ask to follow you via social media (Twitter, Facebook) to learn about other opportunities
 Invite to a webinar
 Give a discount coupon (or code)
 Send to an important “What To Do Next” page
 Ask to subscribe to a drip campaign
 Offer a relevant product or service
 Ask to upgrade showing the advantages

 Define the key performance indicators before the design,
creation and implementation of the landing page.
 Set up conversion goals in Google Analytics for optimal
tracking.
 Track the action you want visitors to take on your landing
page. This one element absolutely has to be tracked and
counted as a conversion!

Other landing page metrics that actually matter:
 Bounce rate
 Average time on page
 Lead-to-customer conversion rate
