Pitfalls to Avoid When Creating Landing Pages
Creating and optimizing landing pages is a crucial step in your lead generation efforts. What's a common mistake I always see and try to avoid? Not having a second offer or CTA on the thank you page.
It’s a smart move to keep your primary offer nice and clean on your landing page and not confuse people with multiple CTAs. However, once you’ve given the promised content to the lead, you are wise to garner their support by asking them to do something whilst they are "hot."
I always suggest making sure you utilize the thank-you page to place another CTA or offer. For example, you could ask people to share the content via a Click to Tweet link.
Make sure that there are CTA's that are relevant for every stage of the wheel. Don't push for too much information at once. Don't gate all content - offer some without requirements in order to build trust.
when creating landing pages, I would avoid missing the obvious digtial accessibility features that should be included - both to increase SEO but more importantly to ensure digital includsion
I would also recommend making the CTA's simple; using words such as Learn More or Download Now. If the customer journey feels complex then people will not take action.
I agree wholeheartedly. With attention spans shortened because people have been conditioned to find answers instantly, "clarifying" has become "cluttering". No need to eat the entire menu during Lobster Month at your favorite restaurant, when one entree will prove they know how to do lobster...
I often feel lost when I end up on landing pages because there is no navigation. Hence, I would really enjoy some navigation options.
Furthermore, in my opinion, a landing page should no be too pushy. Moreover, landing pages can look very cheap and shabby if there are too many CTA's, colors, and blinking stuff. Therefore, less is often more.
