HubSpot. You’ve heard the name. I mean, who hasn’t? Well, in case you haven’t (*gasps*), let’s first get on the same page- HubSpot is a developer and marketer tool for software products primarily for inbound marketing, but also for sales and customer service. It is a one-stop solution for all marketing needs. Under HubSpot web development services, there are a plethora of services such as website development, landing page, plugin development, email development, blog development, migration and more.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about landing pages. Landing pages are by far the most important weapon of any well-crafted marketing campaign. It’s where the action happens! What makes it even more challenging is that you only have one shot to make a killer first impression with your landing pages, so better give it you’re all.
What is a Landing Page?
In simple words, a landing page is where people land, when they click on an ad, email link, promotional URL etc. According to HubSpot, a landing page is a web page designed to capture a contact’s information in exchange for an offer like ebook, template or video. It can also be in exchange for more information through a demo, meeting or over the phone consultation. You can build landing pages that allow visitors to download your content offers (ebooks, whitepapers, webinars, etc.), or redeem other marketing offers such as free trials, demos, or coupons for your product.
The ultimate goal of a landing page is to convert visitors into leads. Here’s an example of a landing page created by Uplers for one of its clients :
Landing Pages: An Indispensable Part of Marketing
Landing pages are an effective lead conversion tool. They lead customers to a specific product, service or offering and encourage them to take action. Landing pages can also help improve search rankings.
Imagine this: You have created an effective ad, gotten your prospects to click on it. So far so good. The prospect is now redirected to a landing page, where they are expected to submit their personal information in exchange for something. This is where the challenge lies. Your landing page has to convince the prospects to stick around for at least a couple of minutes and perform the task that you expect from them. No wonder landing page conversions are mostly in single digits! In fact, average landing page conversion rates are 2.35% across industries. Despite its importance, many marketers fail to pay attention to landing pages. That should not be the case.
Golden Rule: Your homepage should never be your landing page. Your homepage isn’t designed to convert.77% of landing pages are home pages. ( Not Surprised!)
