A landing page is technically any page a visitor lands on post-click. Typically, it is the page landed on after clicking

an online ad.

But it should be more than that.

Message Match• Your landing page copy should mirror the words and

phrases used in your ad. • Make sure what the visitor clicked on is reflected very clearly

when they land on your page. This is called a ‘scent trail’ and it helps reduce bounce rate by reinforcing the visitor is in the right place.

Relevancy

• Just because your ad & page copy match doesn’t necessarily mean your page is relevant.

• Make your page cohesive from the copy to the offer to the images.

Above The Fold

• Make sure your most important content is above the fold. That means copy, images and calls-to-action.

• Put good stuff below the fold, but the best stuff high on the page.

Scannable

• Don’t use long sentences, tons of bullets, lots of paragraphs - it’s hard for a visitor to read all of that!

• Make sure it’s easy to scan the page and absorb the message.

• Vary the length of your sentences, use bullets and make sure paragraphs are short.

Visually Actionable6

• At a quick glance, it should be very clear what the key action is on the page. What does the page want the visitor to do? Pick up the phone? Fill out a form? Click a button?

• Make sure your page is very obvious and very actionable. It should visually compel the visitor towards the desired action.

Distraction Minimized• Edit, edit, edit. Get rid of unnecessary copy, graphics and

especially links. • Every element of your page should be increasing your odds

of conversion. No exceptions. • Get rid of the unrelated calls-to-action, superfluous graphics

and everything else questionable.

Feels Good• Take a gander at your page. Ask others to look at it too.

Does it make the visitor feel good? How good is your page compared to your competitors?

• Don’t neglect the ‘feel good’ factor - even landing page visitors want great experiences!

Tested & Optimized8

• Landing pages are the perfect place to test - copy, images, offers, layouts, forms.

• You name it, you can test it. • Without testing you are leaving conversions on the table by

playing the guessing game.
