## Article

A landing page is built for visitors arriving from a specific source, such as an ad, an email or a campaign link, with a single goal: get them to take one action. Its structure is predictable for good reason.

### 1. A headline that matches the promise

The headline should continue the message that brought the visitor. If your ad offered "a free website audit", the page should say so immediately. A mismatch makes people think they are in the wrong place.

### 2. A clear subheading and main action

In one or two sentences, explain who the offer is for and what they get. Place the main button above the fold, with a label that describes the result: "Get my free audit", not "Submit".

### 3. Benefits, not features

Explain what changes for the visitor. Lead with outcomes and support them with the features that make them possible. Three to five points are usually enough.

### 4. How it works

A short, numbered sequence reduces uncertainty: what happens after they click, what they need to provide and when they will hear back.

### 5. Proof

Show evidence: client logos and testimonials (only with permission), case studies, review ratings, certifications or concrete facts about your service. Real, specific proof beats generic claims.

### 6. Objections answered

List the questions people ask before buying, such as price, time, commitment and risk, and answer them plainly, often as an FAQ.

### 7. The action again

Repeat the main button after the proof and FAQ for visitors who needed convincing.

### Form design

Ask only for what you need now. Each extra field loses some visitors. Explain what happens to their details and when you will respond.

### Technical basics

- Fast loading on mobile
- No distracting navigation
- Conversion tracking on the form or button
- One focused page per audience or offer

### Test and improve

Change one important element at a time, such as the headline, offer or form length, and compare results over a meaningful number of visits.

## Questions

### Should a landing page have navigation?

Often not. Removing the main menu keeps attention on the single action, though a logo link home and essential legal links should stay.

### How long should a landing page be?

As long as needed to answer the visitor's questions. Simple, low-risk offers can be short; expensive or complex ones need more explanation and proof.
