What a
Landing
Page
Actually Is
• It’s NOT a homepage
• Its purpose is to get visitors to
take action
• Landing pages should be used
for ads, keywords, campaigns,
not homepage
• It’s about communicating value
as quickly as possible
@jennyshen
How long does it take for
visitors to form an opinion
about your landing page?
Take a guess:

10Strategies To Improve
Your Landing Pages
@jennyshen
1Know Who
Your Users are
@jennyshen
Know
Who Your
Users are
• How often do you talk to users?
• What is the most difficult
when: comparing health
insurance prices or looking for a
travel package?
• What keywords do they search
for? What do they look for in a
travel package?
@jennyshen
• By knowing your users, you can
optimize the landing page
• Persona: age, location,
education, income, motivations,
goals, frustrations, personality,
tech-savviness
• Sales funnel for each persona
with different keywords and
designs

4Design with
Actual Copy
@jennyshen
Design is the packaging
for the content
• Actual content almost never fits
into placeholders
• Content-first approach: developing
content early is a top priority

Actual Copy

Design with Actual Copy
@jennyshen
5Focus on 1 Main CTA
(Call-to-action)
@jennyshen
• The CTA should clearly state
what it does to trigger a
response
• CTA color should contrast with
the rest of the page and color
scheme

1 Main CTA
