the ocean of traffic sitting on your website.

Test as much as you can. If you have limited time &

Areas for Experimentation
1 

Positioning / Lead-In CTA

How you set expectations of what a user will see on a landing
page is critical. If you promise one thing and deliver
another – or a visitor perceives that you do – it can
seriously hurt your conversion rates.!

Copy
Copy is critical. It’s how you communicate to a visitor what
they’ll get if they fill out your form – and why they can’t live
without it. Experiment with the content of your intro,
bullets, and concluding copy. Always err on the side of
simplicity & clarity.!

Think of your form as a wall you’re asking

Thank-You Pages

Value
A good thank you page gives a visitor multiple relevant
paths to walk down. If you have lead intelligence software
in place, you & your Sales team will see where the user
went next – and have a clearer idea of what’s
important to them for a stronger sales conversation.!

Landing Pages
for Paid Search
Concerns Specific to Paid Advertising
Why Do Paid LPs Matter?
1 

Bounce Rate

You paid for traffic to reach your landing page. If it
immediately bounces, you wasted that money. !
Why Do They Matter?
1 
2 

Bounce Rate
Quality Score

If you’re running AdWords, landing pages that load quickly
and immediately follow through on a user’s expectations
have higher Quality Scores, reducing your CPC and
lowering your overall cost per conversion.!
Why Do They Matter?

3 

Bounce Rate
Quality Score
Cost Per Lead
Regardless of paid channel, the more visitors you
convert on your landing pages, the lower your cost
per lead. !

Organic Best Practices

All best practices for an organic landing page apply to
paid landing pages, too. That said, there are a few areas
where extra focus & experimentation can pay off.!
Elements of a Successful PPC LP
1 
2 

Organic Best Practices
PPC: Speaks to Keyword / Ad Group Interest
If you’re buying the keyword “red shoes,” both your ad
copy & landing page should speak directly to that interest
in text and images. Catering to visitor interest on a
PPC landing page results in higher conversion &
lower cost per lead.!
Elements of a Successful PPC LP

3 

Organic Best Practices
PPC: Speaks to Keyword / Ad Group Interest
Early-stage Alternative CTAs
Paid leads are generally colder. They are less likely to
take you up on a late-stage offer like a trial or immediate
purchase. Including an early-stage CTA like an eBook
or tips guide on a paid landing page helps you
capture a larger portion of your paid traffic!!

Organic Best Practices
PPC: Speaks to Keyword / Ad Group Interest
Early-stage Alternative CTAs
Page Load Speed

Paid traffic has an even shorter attention span than
organic traffic, so page load speed is more critical
with a paid audience. Aim for a page load speed
of 2 seconds or less!!
Nurturing Paid Leads
Nurturing Paid Leads
1 

How Should You Nurture Them?

Paid leads are colder than organic leads. That means you
may want to do more pre-Sales nurturing through
email & thank you pages before you send them to
your Sales team.!
Nurturing Paid Leads
1 
2 

How Should You Nurture Them?
How Should Sales Interact with Them?
Since paid leads are colder, Sales should be prepped to
deliver a more consultative sale. Additionally, Sales
should attend to the original lead source & offer and
speak to that in their Sales process.!
Summary
1 
2 

Make the value of your offer as clear as possible to visitors.
Experiment with as many page elements as you can to
increase clarity and conversion rate.

3 

Attend to the specific needs of paid leads to minimize your
cost per lead.
