Replo Masterclass
How To Build Landing Pages That Convert
So you want to cook up a high-converting landing page?
We're going to cover the recipe, the ingredients, and the the actual cooking.
A real masterclass in landing pages in one long post.
Recipes = Types of Landing Pages
Ingredients = Key Elements of a High-Converting Page
Cooking = The Optimizations!
We're not going to drag this out. Tables are waiting.
3 Main Recipes aka Page Types:
1. Advertorials
2. Listicles
3. Long Form Offer/Sales Pages - what you traditionally think of when you hear "Landing Page"
Advertorials & Listicles are pre-sale pages.
They are designed to educate customers about major problems/desires and position your offer/product as the solution to the problem.
Said simply: They get people in a buying mood and make them want to buy YOUR thing.
Then you close them with your main offer page.
This is where you make the best pitch possible.
Give people an offer they can't refuse.
Most people drive to a basic PDP but you're not most people.
You're using the 6 key ingredients of a high-converting landing page to maximize your chances of getting the sale.
1. Social Proof - star ratings, customer testimonials, UGC videos, etc This builds trust in the mind of the consumer, i.e. "This could work for me" or "this is something I want"
2. Comparisons to other solutions - ex. comparing instant coffee at home to going to a coffee shop This reduces the anxiety of switching from something they're already doing, showing why your solution is a better vehicle to whatever goals (emotional, physical, mental, combo) your customer has.
3. Comparisons to competitors - ex. Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi This provides more context on how you're positioned in the market and why your offer is valuable in terms the customer is familiar with.
4. How It Works Section - explain how customers will get the benefits of your product/offer. The unique value props, key benefits. This helps set expectations and builds excitement with the customer.
5. Strong guarantees - experiment with more than a 30 day money-back guarantee. Try 60-90 days. This is about reducing risk in the mind of the consumer.
6. What Customers Get section - build up the perceived value of your offer while clearly telling people what they get. If your offer includes bonuses, this is a great opportunity to articulate what those are, how they're delivered, etc. Again, this is risk reduction, setting expectations, and setting you up for a high value, low (relative) price conversation happening inside the customer's head.
Common question we get asked a lot:
Do I need to have all 6 of these ingredients on my page?
You don't, but you'd be better off if you did. More surface area for success (aka more+higher conversions).
Common follow-up q: Do I need to have them in the order listed out above?
Answer: you will have to mix and match. It's not going to be the same order for every successful page.
Build a page, test it, rearrange content until you find the winner.
Okay okay - we got through 3 page types, and 6 key elements.
Time to bring it all together in a big ole pot, help everyone get to know one another like we're making Kevin Malone's famous chili.
It's time to cook. It's time to optimize.
To put your best page forward, you need to:
1. Optimize your above-the-fold. 60% of users don't scroll below the top section of your page. There are people that read every word on your page - build a great experience for them too. But get the 6 key ingredients dialed in above the fold, particularly on mobile, and you'll boost CVR like no other.
2. Load Pages FAST. Faster the page loads, more people stay and engage with your content. More engagement = more likely you'll make a sale. Aim for faster than 2 seconds load time. Lazy load images below the fold, make sure your images are as small (file size) as possible before you load them into the page, etc. etc. Yes - Shopify compresses images. But doing work on the front end helps significantly.
3. Sell something people want. A great product aka an irresistible offer makes your life so much easier. Work hard to make a killer product people want, build value.
Boom. Just like that, you can go build landing pages that convert. Get to cooking.
