You’re about to launch a big online marketing campaign. You’ve
tested your creative and your clickthrough rate is strong. You know once
you go live, tons of targeted traffic will be hitting your site.
Time to sit back and relax, right? Not quite yet.
Run a test landing. Do a search and find
your Pay Per Click (PPC) ad in Yahoo or Google. Click on it. Where does
it bring you? Your home page? I hope not.
You should create a specific landing page for your PPC ads. A landing
page is the page you create to convert your PPC traffic into sales.
This page should get your potential customers (that you have already
paid for!) to go exactly where you think they want to go.
Here are some tips to create a good landing page:
1) Focus! Focus! Focus
The landing page should be about your product or service. No links to other
sites, no advertisements, no "how do you do".
When people arrive at your
landing page, they should already be predisposed to buy (since you
wrote such an excellent ad to get them here in the first place) and are
trying to either:
- Get more information about your product or service
- Find the "Buy now" button Use the search term on the page, because
searchers will key into the section of the page with their search term.
If
the search term is "buy skidoo" then have a button that says "Buy Skidoos
Here".
Don't distract them - give them what they want.
2) Customize your landing page
Use a different landing page for each group of keyphrases. If you sell seadoos and skidoos, don't use the same landing page for each.
Create a new landing page for each product (or each group of products)
and send the clients directly to the page they are interested in.
3) Give them information
If they are not yet sold on your product or service, then they are going to be looking for more detailed information when they arrive at your landing page. Give it to them. You have to convince them that you have the perfect product or service to solve their problem.
If they run out of information before they make a commitment to
buy, then you have lost them. Nobody will spend money until they
are convinced that your product or service is the right choice for
them. So prove it.
4) Tell the reader what you want them to do
Use calls-to-action. If you want them to buy your product, than tell
them often how to do it ("Click
here to buy"). If you want them to call you, post the number
up with instructions ("Call
us now at 1-800-XXX-XXXX"). Repeat it throughout the text, then
again in big and bold at the end.
5) Use graphics
Use pictures to sell your product or service. Pictures of the product or pictures of satisfied customers sell. Use them - and use them often.
6) Run tests
Set up two landing pages to see which one converts better. Set up two identical ads and send one to each landing page, then compare conversion rates for each page. Figure out why one converts better and try to improve the other one. Then, run more tests until you are completely satisfied with the results.
Set up your landing pages so that your potential customers arrive
for a safe landing. If all goes well, they will step out of the plane
with their credit cards already in hand - and their money almost
in your pocket.
