This week I personally experienced the frustration of trying to download some online content where I wasn’t sure where to sign up, the form was not taking my information and after the order I could not find my PDF file to download. Dysfunctional landing pages are bad enough but when I talk to website owners I am always amazed at how many do not have any landing pages at all. In a recent study by HubSpot and presented in my eBook, Lead Generation Lessons from 4,000 Businesses, websites with over 31 landing pages get 7 times more leads than websites with less than 5, while websites with over 40 landing pages get 12 times more leads. It seems silly that websites that are trying to get leads and new customers would not have any landing pages.
As a reminder landing pages are specific pages where website visitors sign up to get premium content such as an eBook or white paper. Considering the importance of Landing Pages I wanted to cover some formatting tips to increase landing page conversion, I go into how to set up a landing page in some detail in my blog, Stick the Landing Page.
Tips to Increase Landing Page Conversion
You should add as many landing pages as you can. To maximize efficiency, consider how fast you can launch a new landing page. You should be able to prepare and launch a new landing page in 15 minutes. For more detailed information HubSpot has a great blog on Why Landing Pages Are an Indispensable Part of Marketing.
