A landing page is a standalone page that a customer can end up on to learn more about a particular topic and take a specified action. Landing pages are a vital part to your digital marketing strategy. Not only do they provide information to your viewer, they also collect valuable information for you.
In a digital world full of choices – and consumers that often get overwhelmed by those choices – landing pages are a lead generation tool that allow customers to overcome any decision paralysis by leading them to take one specified action. This action can be to register for a webinar, download a white paper, request a demo, or something similar. In sum, these pages operate as the next step in converting a visitor into a customer at a low acquisition cost.
Unlike a traditional content page within a website, landing pages often utilize an adjusted navigation structure in an effort to keep viewers engaged and minimize distraction; keeping conversion rates high.
Creating an effective landing page is both an art and a science. You want to provide the customer with enough information that they feel inclined to take action, but not so much that you scare them away. Here are our best practices for landing page design:
Gong is a sales intelligence platform that has been gaining popularity thanks to their use of Google Ads. On this landing page, they’ve employed streamlined and dynamic data enrichment services from Clearbit. Based on the data the user provides, their web experience might change. For instance, if a company matches an ideal company profile, the user is immediately directed to book a calendar appointment. If they don’t match, then a member of Gong’s team will investigate and follow-up manually. This personalized user experience makes for a great landing page and makes great customer support even more attainable.
