How to make a landing page effective?
Limit Navigation or remove
You’ve brought your targeted traffic to a page where they can take your desired action. Don’t distract them! Limit the number of exits from your landing page so that your visitors are focused on filling out your form. A key part of this is to remove the website navigation elements on landing pages. This helps put the focus back on the content you’re offering.
Enable Sharing
Tap into a huge community of your best (and free) marketers: your audience. Add share links to your landing page to encourage your website visitors to share your content with their audiences and on social media platforms.
Deliver Value
First and foremost, if you have a valuable offer, your visitors will give their contact information in exchange for your offer. Make sure your landing page demonstrates that value. One way to ensure your landing page adds value is to show the benefits of the content they’re going to receive.
Keep it Short
The longer your landing page and form, the more friction you add to the lead-generation process. Keeping your lead form short and straightforward.
Test, test & test
As many best practices as you may read about online, your landing page can always use more testing and improvement. A/B testing will reveal which heading is better and which content works for your target market. ( Some markets like a lot of information and some others like it short & succinct.) Testing your headline intro content and the offer will tell you which one works best for your target market. Read part two.
