While designing one singular web page may not seem like a big deal, it can provide significant ROI for your business. \u200b\u200bAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/landing-page-stats#:~:text=The%20average%20landing%20page%20conversion,audience%20will%20benefit%20your%20business.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hubspot<\/a>, the average landing page conversion rate is 9.7%, and that percentage takes into account all industries and businesses. No matter your industry or company size, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webfx.com\/blog\/marketing\/what-is-a-good-conversion-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10%<\/a> conversion rate mark is considered good, so spending time curating your landing page can help you reach or exceed that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a landing page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of a landing page is to gather information from contacts or potential customers in exchange for something of value, such as an offer code, an exclusive insight, or more information about a specific topic or service. Landing pages differ from other web pages, like a homepage, because they don\u2019t stay in the permanent navigation of a website. In addition, homepages and landing pages are designed with two different goals: a homepage helps set the stage for the rest of your website, while a landing page allows website users to accomplish a specific action or goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landing pages are commonly used in paid ad campaigns because you can tailor them to complement a specific search. For example, if you are trying to promote a specific service or product, you can run a PPC (pay-per-click) ad campaign that points visitors to a landing page dedicated to that particular service or product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create an Effective Landing Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at TargetMarket is comprised of experts in all facets of the digital marketing space. Here are some of our recommendations for your paid advertising page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Set your goal: The idea behind a landing page is for the user to take direct action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less is more: Make your conversion front and center. The most common conversion type used on landing pages is a form fill. Make sure the form is clear, concise, and one of the first things a visitor will see on the page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opt for less text: Don\u2019t write too many words describing your business or the other services you provide. There should only be 3-4 sentences max explaining what your business is offering or requesting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use space wisely: If more information is necessary, place it below the form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your page is branded: The landing page should be well-branded and consistent so the user doesn\u2019t feel like they\u2019ve been redirected somewhere they don\u2019t want to be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test out the page: If there\u2019s time, we recommend AB testing different CTA, button styles, and more to see what people are responding to.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let people know how to contact you: While a form fill or other conversion is the primary goal, including other contact information makes it even easier to reach potential customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for More Ways to Stand Out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the primary goals of your page should be clarity and functionality, you can catch the eyes of potential customers by adding a bit of spice to your page. We highlighted the importance of identifiable branding on your landing page, but playing around with design trends like responsive elements and micro-interactions can be both impressive and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have questions about your website, pages, or any other aspect of paid advertising?
