7 Elements to Boost your Landing pages

Each of them has a different reader, a different call to action, a different niche, a different product or service to promote..But there are a few essential components that will surely help you get there.
- Good Headline
- Clear Concept
- Sign up/Conversion form
- Free content course to download
- Clear Goal
- Call-to-action
- Sub headline
- Simple Layout(No extra text, images or unwanted content
Headline: The headline is the first thing visitors first notice when they “Land” on any landing page. A good landing page headline covers up the offering a short and crisp manner, and answers the question, “What will visitors who convert on this page receive?”
Content: The content on the landing page should be simple, concise and written in a easily understandable manner. It should not mislead visitors or confuse them. Rather just put out the purpose clearly.
Placement of Site Elements: The placement of that messaging and call-to-action is equally as important as the words themselves. The perfect call-to-action makes no sense if the visitor is not attracted towards it. Placing the key elements where one can only see it when scrolled is a big NO. If it doesn’t grab the attention in the first few moments, it will not be highlighting.
Social Platform Buttons/Links: Social media platforms help increasing the reach of your landing page beyond your own network of contacts, fans and followers.
Clear Call-to-action: Almost immediately, a visitor should know what your site wants them to do. Make a clear, simple yet effective call to action directed towards an optimized landing page.
Conversion Form: The most Important component of any landing page is conversion form or sign up form. It’s where page visitors provide their information in return for the offer, converting them into a sales leads.
Image: That one hero image that is relevant and clearly explains your purpose in one picture. Avoid putting multiple images that are not relevant.
Simplicity: A landing page with too much information scattered in every which direction is going to make a visitor’s head spin and cause them to quickly hit the back button.
