WordPress Landing Pages
Maximise visitor actions when they arrive
What’s a landing page?
When a user clicks on a banner advert, PPC advert, Facebook ad or another form of digital marketing, they are usually sent to a specific page. This will be landing page and it’s a more effective approach than just sending the clicking user to the main homepage.
It’s “any web page a potential customer arrives at after expressing interest in one of your upstream ads” (source: Unbounce).
However, not all landing pages are the same. Many advertisers will simply let their website homepage suffice as a landing page for their paid ad targets, and hope that once users get there, they’ll somehow figure out what to do next. This is a wrong assumption and you should never assume users will know what to do.
Do I need a landing page?
A specific landing page has so much potential to further convince and show users how to complete an action on your site, be it; sign up, submit enquiry, register, buy product, buy service etc – the action that brought them there in the first place from the advert.
Paid ads usually have specific offers or message to appeal to users. For example, when a user clicks to learn more about a 50% sale that you are promoting through a PPC advertisement, you want to ensure the page they land on gives them the information about that 50% sale. If they arrive on your homepage and find no direct indication of a ‘sale’ that your advert promoted, they’ll just leave. It’s common sense, but a facet which is often overlooked.
An effective landing page is specific to the ad campaign or product it is promoting and I can help you with ideas, design and stragety to maximise your adverts, microsites and more. It also allows you to add further control onto that page such as a different design, a header/footer without the full links and individual pixel tracking codes for e-commerce conversions.
