1.
WHAT IS A
CONVERSION
PATH?
CONVERSION
PATH
“A conversion path is the
process by which an
anonymous website visitor
becomes a known lead.”
2.
WHY THE
CONVERSION
PATH IS
IMPORTANT?
It’s how you get leads
It’s about turning
an
anonymous
visitor…
… into a lead
(a real person).
AS A MARKETER,
YOU NEED TO
BUILD
CONVERSION
PATHS.
Otherwise your online visitors will stay anonymous to you and
your business.
The conversion path is part of the “Convert” phase in the Inbound
Methodology
Thank You Page
The “Convert” phase is all about converting those anonymous online
“visitors” to your website to “leads”
3.
HOW DO I CREATE
A CONVERSION
PATH?
First, let’s think
about your online
visitor’s journey?
Especially as the conversion path is placed around your visitor’s journey
A visitor explores your
website…
THEY’LL BE
PRESENTED WITH
CALL-TO-ACTION/S.
Once a visitor clicks
on a call-to-action…
THEY’LL BE LINKED
TO A
LANDING PAGE.
Once that visitor submits a
form on the landing page…
THEY’LL BE TAKEN
TO A
THANK YOU PAGE.
Here are Three Key Building Blocks
for a Conversion Path
Call-to-Action (CTA)
Landing Page (LP)
Thank you page (TYP)

Call-To-Action
(CTA)

A Call-to-Action (CTA) is a button or
image placed on pages with the sole
purpose of driving visitors to your
landing page.
Call-to-Actions (CTA) drive visitors
to targeted offers to connect with
and help them convert into leads.
Landing Page
(LP)

A landing page is a website page specifically designed to
convert visitors to leads. It is where the offer in the call-to-
action is fulfilled, and where the visitor submits information
in a form.
A landing page is where the offer in the call-to-action is

A Thank You Page is where the content introduced by the call-
to-action and landing page is finally delivered to the visitor
who, after submitting a form, is now a lead.
A Thank You Page offers the downloadable content and
encourage actions that further the relationship.
