What are visitors expecting from my Landing Page?

Best way to do it is to match headlines with your user’s search query.

Headlines with directions

Users want to be told where to go, what to do, and how to do it.

That’s why the best performing landing pages have a clear, concise headline that immediately speaks to the reader’s

wants, fears or needs.

Clear Concise Language

Try to include everyday language, it’s very important to try to be as concise as possible.

Focus on them

People visiting your landing pages want to know that they’re important and valued.

Avoid using self-centered language like “I” and “we”, it gives the impression that you only care about

yourself.

1. Write Killer Headlines

Your Headline grabs and focuses your reader’s attention. It makes him want to read your message. It “sets the stage” and the emotional tone that will make conversion more likely.

● It should inform the user what the product or service is all about.

● It should be short

● It should be persuasive

2. Persuasive SubHeadline

If the headline makes the user look, then the subheadline should make them stay. A subhead is part of the one-two punch of a landing page’s power.

● Normally, subheadline is positioned directly underneath the main headline.

● Take the concept of the headline, and push it a little bit further.

● The subheadline can go into slightly more depth and detail than the main

headline.

3. Images

Your visitors will be affected by the images on your landing page immediately.

● The pictures should be relevant to your product or service.

● Make sure the pictures are high-quality. This is not the place to feature

stock photographs or last-minute Photoshop botches

4. Value Proposal or Benefits

Your Value is what your company does better than any other. It’s your competitive edge, and communicated effectively will make you stand out from the crowd and drive your success.

● One of the best ways to advance your value proposition is through a list of benefits.

● Benefits should be clearly focused on the user.● A value proposition can be found spread among the various essential

elements.

5. Trustworthy Testimonials

A landing page’s testimonials are one of its most important trust signals. A user wants to know that they can trust the product or service.

● Choose testimonials from people who are most relevant to your target audience.

● It’s important that every featured testimonial be accompanied by a photo of a real person.

● The best testimonies are those that are backed by real numbers, real data, and specific applications.

6. Powerful Call to Action

The last position is for the most important element of all — the call to action

● Make it big. Generally speaking, the bigger the better.

● The actual CTA copy is the most significant copy on your entire landing

page. Use something explosive, exciting, and persuasive.

● Use a button. People know what to do when they see a button.

● Whatever color you use on your CTA, make it different.
