Landing Page Conversion Rate: Whiteboard Wednesday Episode 3 

Landing Page Conversion Rate Increased by 42% with Two Minor Changes

Welcome to Whiteboard Wednesday Episode 3 where I discuss how I had a landing page conversion rate increase of 42% by changing two elements on the page. This is just a simple example of how I was able to increase the conversion rate on one of my contact us landing page.

Landing Page Conversion Rate: What is it?

Conversion Rate is the percentage of people who go to a page on your website and they perform an action. This action could be completing a form, liking you on Facebook, or Twitter – or calling your office.

How did I Increase the Landing Page Conversion Rate?

FULL DISCLOSURE – I DIDN’T SAVE A COPY OF THE OLD LANDING PAGE WITH NO PICTURE (I know that they both do, but this research is based off of when I had NO picture)

On the left is option A, it contains:

1. It has a Logo
2. A Menu
3. Some Text
4. Some bulleted Text (Checkboxes)
5. The Form
6. Privacy Statement

On the right is option B, it contains:

1. Header Text
2. Photo
3. Text
4. Some Bulleted Text (Checkboxes)
5. The Form
6. Privacy Statement

Now You’ll notice the key Differences:

1. Landing Page A has a Menu
2. Landing Page A does NOT have a Photo
3. Landing Page A has a Logo (I don’t seem to have enough evidence to say this effects conversion rate much)
4. Landing Page B does NOT have a Menu
5. Landing Page B has a Photo.
6. Landing Page B does NOT have a logo (I don’t think this really matters much as stated above.

One of these pages has a landing page conversion rate increase of 42%

Which is it? Answer: Option B

The one that got more conversion that got more conversions has NO menu, they have nowhere to go – and a Photo. Personalized photo, not stock photos, you, or your team. People like people – people are relationship creatures; they like relationships.

Option B works.

The landing page conversion rate is just higher. From 2-4 people a day to about 3-6 people converting on the form a day. This is proven, it just works, don’t give them an exit on your form, and personalize it.

Take a look at how the form looked before, and take a look at the one we’re using now:

If you’re using OptimizePress take a look at some of these landing pages as examples for you to get higher conversions.

I want you to have a higher landing page conversion rate, I want you to have more sales, I want you to have better results. Thanks for watching Whiteboard Wednesday Episode 3: Landing Page Conversion Rate and join me at Conversion Marketing if you need help.
