Optimzing your Landing Page
First impressions count, and considering that user behaviour online is frivolous to say the least – with most users choosing to navigate from content to content via links, rather than stopping to actually take in any information – it is critical that your landing page is able to hold your visitors attention; quite simply, this is the different between an effective online presence and a failed marketing campaign.
There is a tendency to think of SEO as an end in itself, rather than a means to an end, however, it’s all well and good attracting visitors to your site, but if you fail to convert them into customers then site visits are pretty meaningless.
The challenge with landing page optimization, then, is striking the balance between attracting visitors and ensuring that your site is not only usable but attractive to visitors. With this in mind, it is important that the quality of your landing page is kept to a high standard and that you do not clutter your site with images or written content, even if it carries relevant keywords. Remember, when a visitor lands on your page, the chances are they will be unwilling to read through lengthy written content, and will instead “bounce” away from your site.
As well as the aesthetics of a page, the actual infrastructure of your site will greatly impinge on its effectiveness. With this in mind, you need to ensure that not only are you internal links conducive to easy navigation, but they are strategically placed to lead users towards point of sale, and importantly away from “bouncing” out of your site, which is something that can be incorporated at the website development stage.
