Why Campaigns Fail to Convert

You spent money and effort on email or Google Ads campaigns. You got clicks and visits, but no leads or sales. The reason is usually the landing page: the page visitors "land" on when they click your ad. Here is how to optimise it.

1. Matching Content

Make sure your ad titles and your landing page headlines say the same thing. If your ad promises "Leather bags on sale" but the page headline reads "100% leather products", visitors feel lost and the bounce rate climbs.

2. Accurate Information

It is surprisingly common for the details of an offer to differ between the ad and the page. Double-check both.

3. Clean Layout and Clear Structure

Win visitors' trust with a clean layout and well-chosen colours and images. Include only the links you really need, so you do not distract from your main message or send people away. Give forms and calls to action prominent positions: what sits at the top of the page gets the most attention, so make your message clear from the start.

4. The Right Call to Action

Perhaps the most critical element of the whole campaign: what you ask visitors to do once they arrive. "Sign up now and win", "Take part now", "Buy now". Test to see which works best for your campaign.

5. Measure with Google Analytics

Connect your page to Google Analytics, so after the campaign you can see what worked: how visitors behaved, how many left and more.

Conclusion

Experiment freely with colours, images and calls to action until you find what works for your audience. Etherlogic can design and test landing pages that turn clicks into customers.
