Landing Pages · Lesson 18 of 20

Page Content

The content you add to your landing page decides whether people take action or leave.

1 Learn the concept

The content you add to your landing page decides whether people take action or leave. Good content answers the questions a visitor has in the order they have them: what is this, why should I care, can I trust you and what do I do next. This lesson shows how to write content that guides people to action.

One page, one goal, in the order a visitor needs the information.

2 See it in action

  • Open with the benefit and a clear image.
  • Use short sections and bullet points.
  • Add proof: testimonials, results and logos.
  • Repeat the call to action after the key sections.

Worked example

Headline: "Tax filing done for you, from $199."

Benefits: accurate returns, deadlines handled and a single fixed price.

Form: name, email and what type of return.

Check: remove anything that does not help the visitor make the decision.
