Creating a landing page for your targeted ad campaigns is critical to converting those ads to sales. We will explain why, and provide you with an easy-to-use checklist so you can get it right.
What Is a Landing Page?
A Landing Page is exactly that: a place where people browsing the internet “land”. For our discussion, these are people “landing” on a website page after they clicked through some sort of advertising: paid advertising, social media ads, Google ads, PPC ads or others. These are typically standalone pages that have been designed for a focused and singular objective which matches the ad. They are different from regular, evergreen pages on your website – they don’t reside anywhere except at the end of your ad.
Top 3 Objectives of Landing Pages:
- Entice people to purchase a product or service, or provide contact information
- Collect information for future targeted marketing efforts
- Introduce people to your brand, service or product and create interest
Do Landing Pages Increase Conversion Rates?
The quick answer here is yes, 100%! The conversion rate on advertising that does not lead to a customized page is dismal: less than 1%. But with a proper page, the sky is the limit. In addition, by utilizing a custom page you can now do testing; testing has shown to increase conversions by as much as 300%!
What Makes Landing Pages Convert?
Knowing what should go on the page can be complicated, but we have created an easy-to-use checklist below for you. Additionally, by including a video on your landing page, research has shown you could increase conversions up to 86%!
