It could be due to any one or more of the following reasons: 1. a lack of specific messaging, 2. relevant keywords 3. bad headlines 4. page distractions which do not relate to your business and products.

  3. It’s a problem area you need to resolve immediately, but with viable solutions. To leverage your landing page and ensure that optimising it is enhancing your reach to the targetted audiences. Start by tracking your website behaviour then try mapping all of this to your CTA. By following the CTA goals accurately, you will be able to track the exact areas which are relevant to your customer on your landing page. It is a great way to declutter and remove all the distractions on the landing page. Also, remember that your web traffic and your social media traffic see the same messaging and keywords.

To ensure this does not happen, plan your moves, and design and plant your hooks within the framework with relevant images. It will improve the quality of your landing page, and it will additionally improve the quality of your conversions. Keep your landing page simple. Less is good in this case: The job of the landing page is to bring more traffic to your website, and you want to know how. You can use two methods –PPC and Organic Growth. While PPC is helping you gain more by using planned processes and campaigning on paid ads, Organic Growth is leveraging your actual business landscape. Both, together are boosting your chances of achieving the set goals outlined. Include short and simple call-to-action buttons: Landing pages are key elements of your overall digital marketing strategy. It plays a pivotal role in building a healthy traffic flow to your website and grows conversion ratios quickly. It helps capture confirmed leads and generates sales.

Try a single pager approach and start by sourcing different traffic pathways.

  4. For example by using PPC like Google Ads which will bring you different performance levels in comparison to your ad spends on social media. Use links and mentions in your blogs with links again to get the user to reach you directly as well.

Specific landing pages end up giving sending irrelevant offers or limited offers. For example, a customer was expecting a full volume ebook on ’Home Purchase’ and ended up receiving a 10-page guide. That will drive your customers away and break their trust. So, ensure that your campaigns are tailored to suit their needs at the same time you are building a substantial customer base for the business.

By changing and tweaking your top navigation panel and masthead, it will lead your customers back to you.

  5. These are a few steps that you can implement to tweak things around. Firstly, create your top of the funnel (TOFU), and the middle of the funnel (MOFU) offers relevant to users. Ensure they are equally meaningful. Also, remove links which have no relation to your business.
