Creating Your Offer

The first step to a high-converting landing page is an offer your visitors cannot resist.

1 Learn the concept

The first step to a high-converting landing page is an offer your visitors cannot resist. An offer is what a visitor gets in exchange for taking action: a discount, a guide, a trial or a quote. A strong offer is clear, valuable and matched to the ad that brought the visitor. This lesson explains how to build an offer.

A vague call to contact next to a specific offer with a benefit and a deadlineA VAGUE OFFER VERSUS A SPECIFIC ONEVAGUEContact us for a quote.SPECIFICGet your free lawn plan in 24 hours.A good offer solves a problem, is easy to say yes to and matches the ad.
People respond to a clear benefit with low risk.

2 See it in action

  • Solve one problem for one audience.
  • Make the value obvious in a sentence.
  • Reduce risk: free trials, guarantees or clear terms.
  • Match the offer to the ad that promised it.

Worked example

Writing three offers

Option A: "10 percent off your first service."

Option B: "Free lawn plan in 24 hours."

Option C: "Book by Friday and we bring a free soil test."

Choose: B is clear, valuable and low-risk. Test it against A.

Check: the ad should promise exactly what the page delivers.
