Conversion Rate Optimization – Landing Page
  • Start with a page goal and work backwards (identify the type of customer you are trying to convert and the conversion you are trying to achieve)

  • Subscribe to a newsletter. Watch a video. Submit a question or a comment. Share on social media. Invite a friend.
  • Start with the headline You should spend at least 50% of your time getting this right. This will set the tone and the content for your landing page.
  • Use odd numbers in your headline (lists - odd numbers especially attract readers and are proven to convert)
  • Try strange, fun, intriguing, adjectives. Use your creativity and choose words like perplexing, mesmerizing, even discombobulating (so some say)
  • Use the voice of the customer and hypnotic words in your copy.
  • Go easy on the keywords Headlines that read like SEO bait are easy to spot and easy to dismiss
  • Don't be bossy Hard sell tactics don't work well to convert
  • Use the right length i.e. provide only as much information is as needed to convert the visitor at that stage. Too much info at the start may mean the visitor bounces before he sees your call to action. Too little and it may not be sufficient to convert. You really only know if you Try, Track and Test.
  • Be concise, not short. Headlines with more than 8 words perform better than shorter headlines. The sweet spot is between 12-18 words.
  • Show social proof to minimize anxiety. Other trust signals like testimonials, Facebook comments, Tweets, Reviews, Number of Users, all help to convert the visitor.
  • Remove external links - keep your visitors focused on your goal with only one option to click Consider removing your menu bar on your landing pages (A/B test this)
  • Keep it simple - offer your reader something interesting without leading them astray. leave your audience wanting more.

  • A/B Test the background colour of your page - Changing the colour can have a large impact on your conversion rate. Some reports say using a complimentary colour for your call to action
