When you do it exactly the way it should be, you can drive a huge traffic. Even after knowing the benefits of guest posting most business invest very less in this technique.

Our company has also done a few guest posts and we even accept guest post for one of our child domain. We indeed find great results through this technique. We would like to help you out either to build a better audience for your business.

We have come up with a few techniques that can help you to build guest posts that eventually end up successful for your business and drive great subscriber counts.

Let’s Get Started!!!

#1 Explore blogs in which the audience are interested in your niche:

The biggest reason behind preferring guest post is, many wanted to be featured on the top listed blogs. This can improve the blogger’s credibility and efficiency. Still, the secondary level blogs and blogs that are outside of your niche could bring more leads and traffic.

LinkedIn is one of the most important platforms that promote your content in a better way. There is less necessity to spare for promotions when it comes to LinkedIn. The audience on LinkedIn is broadly targeted when compared to digital marketing blogs. A few people who read our articles subscribe to our network.

When it comes to industry blogs you will have to compete with a huge crowd as there would be many experts who write the same. When you are capable of targetting outside your niche you will be able to excel your attempt, as your competitors aren’t guest posting there.

You should definitely try this out for the sake and check how your to deliver performs. But never eliminate publishing on blogs since you were not able to find the most well-known blogs of your niche.

#2 Introduce readability to your blog articles:

The second most important thing that should be taken care of your blog post is the readability. You can also add screenshots, analytical data, results, infographics and much more that boosts your readability in your reader’s sight.

Most of the time when bloggers frame a blog post, they concentrate much on the content and fail to come up with credibility boosters.

The first time when we shared our company blog on the zest.is network we were not up to the expectations. But later when we shared the article on “How to reclaim lost link value in just #3 steps” the network accepted it. They had our post featured for the week. Including screenshots and data about the research we do improves the readability when compared to other bloggers.

Most bloggers do this only to their certain blogs. But make sure you provide the same to all your blogs and articles.

Do you find our readability in this article?

#3 Optimize your guest post for better searches:

While creating content most guest bloggers do not concentrate on the SEO. In common, guest bloggers highly focus on content for every domain’s audience or just to get featured.

People normally come up with the following question,”After all, it is someone else’s blog and what is the need to care for SEO?” One common answer to people who raise such questions is, blogs that rank on search engines can help in driving traffic, which clearly states that your business gets easily exposed to the crowd.

Taking it further, a well-written guest post on a popular blog can pull natural links from blog readers. And if the post ranks on the search engine, then it can further bring in more links through people who discover it.

Especially if your blog post is featured on an authority website, then it can add more value and even passes link equity to your site.

#4 Find blogs that publicize your post for free:

If you want your blog post to sustain its value for a long time, then all you need to do is find websites that promote your old blogs.

You may also have a look at the following strategies,

Linking old articles: Internal links are one of the most important strategies in SEO and it can help drive visitors to explore your old content. There are a few famous sites that include internal links in their articles.

Social media: A few blogs schedule social shares of old blogs. To know if they really exist you could check their Twitter or Facebook feeds to find out whether they really share their old posts.

So, when you try to post a blog on such sites, you need to make sure that you pick a topic that other writers would love to refer every now and then.

#5 Commit long-term guest posting:

When it comes to search engine optimization every single strategy takes a long time to process its results. And that is why it is recommended to wait to notice results and even process those strategies for a long time.

The same way, guest posting is also a long time strategy, and it definitely requires consistency.

Planning for guest posting on the same blog gains more exposure to the blog’s audience. It requires more than 5 impressions for someone to remember your brand. So it is required to guest post multiple times that you could notice better results.

The guest post may not bring in the expected traffic towards your business. But we assure it brings the right traffic for your business, especially the ones that convert.

Wrap up:

Guest posting is one of the most important strategies and grabs more attention of your targeted audience. Most brands fail to know the importance of guest blogging and a very few are keen on getting them implemented for better results.

If you are among the non-users, make sure that you start guest posting on high authority sites. This could highly help you in obtaining the biggest results ever. You also improve the subscriber count for your feeds that you post on regular basis.

How to build an SEO based site structure for your website? http://2020.k2bindia.com/wp/how-to-build-an-seo-based-site-structure-for-your-website/ Mon, 25 Jun 2018 07:09:58 +0000 http://2020.k2bindia.com/wp/?p=17201 When a website is perfectly framed there are chances to rank better. Users prefer well-furnished websites and that which provides the better user experience. Such sites perform well on search engine results.

As artificial intelligence has evolved in Google’s ranking algorithm, voice searches, and mobile first indexing, there is a lot of importance towards websites appearance.

It is no more the same way as expected to be. You will no more just drop in pages on the internet rather it has to be bundled up into categories that search engines can understand on which topic you refer them for and for what category they should be ranked.

But it is really important to concentrate on the keywords for better ranking. On the other hand, topic relevancy plays a furthermore. All these fit together when the website structure is properly designed.

Now let us see why is it important to have a good site structure.

Reason to have a good site structure:

As stated earlier, the structure of the website is really important both in terms of visibility and SEO. A genuine website should be easy to navigate, user-friendly and must serve its purpose. Only then the website will be able to obtain more subscribers, make sales, generate revenue and even present the information in the best way.

SEO benefits behind good site structure:

The following are the SEO benefits of having a perfect site structure;

#1 A good site structure helps you to obtain site links on Google search:

Doesn’t that sound amazing. Look at the following image, you will be able to find TCS’s complete links beneath it.
Site structure 1
This can be automated by specifying which parts of your website to be shown as site links. The best way to obtain site links is by making your site structure look better.

#2 Helps search engine understand the website content:

A good site structure can help Google search engine crawlers to read, and index your website faster which obviously improves your site speed. This highly improves the chance of ranking better on Google search engines.

Now let us examine how search engines work,

  1. They track your website on the web
  2. They crawl your home page and the links on it
  3. They figure out your site structure

This is where the site structure plays an important role. When your site has a perfect site structure, then it becomes more easy for the crawlers to crawl onto your page. In contrary, if the website has a poor site structure, still the search engine indexes your website. But it takes a lot of time for the search engine to complete its understanding of the website.

Reduces bounce rate:

When your website has a good site structure it automatically improves user-experience further reducing the bounce rate of the website. We all know high bounce rate would affect the normal performance of the website in SEO perspective.

High bounce rates are indeed a negative signal for the search engines. And this eventually leads to a poor ranking of your website.

When you have a perfect site structure, your users will not only be able to find your website, but they will also find it easier to navigate. Thus, this improves usability and reduces bounce rate.

How should a website look?

Before moving into the optimization techniques let us first understand what needs to be achieved and what is the genuine site structure?

The site structure is strongly based on the content of the website. In case, if we happen to segregate website then we can divide it into the following,

  1. Blogs
  2. Corporate websites
  3. News websites
  4. eCommerce websites

Blog structure:

blog structureApart from home page and all other important pages, blog posts should be classified into categories. For example, if you own a music-based blog, you need to categorize it into folk genre, western genre, classical genre and so on.

Small business/corporate site structure:

small business structureIn case, if you own a small business website or a corporate website it is required to provide more information about the services and product that you offer. Make sure that you have a main category that further classifies into several other sub-categories.

News site structure:

news website site structureSay you have a news website or an online magazine, group it into a number of categories according to the type of content that you put in them. This helps users to easily navigate into your website and find their relevant content.

E-commerce site structure:

ecommerce site structureFinally, if it is an e-Commerce store, this can be a little more complicated one than the rest of the websites. As this includes a number of products in them. When compared to other site structures, you will have to create a home page, which further classifies into various other sub-categories and further into categories.

But make sure no matter how many ever main categories your create the list shouldn’t exceed 3 levels of depth.

Optimizing site structure:

Hope you have obtained an ideal site structure of your website. Now it is time to know how to optimize your site structure based on SEO. The following is a few important steps that you need to make a note of,

  1. Plan your site structure
  2. Optimize your categories
  3. Use HTML and CSS navigations
  4. Create SEO friendly permalink structure
  5. Create the sitemap for users

Plan your site structure:

As stated earlier, if you are planning to build a new website, make sure that you will build a perfect site structure as shown in the above classifications.

If you already own a site, it is recommended not to change your site structure as your site is already indexed and has some ranking. Changing any of the existing might affect your current ranking position. So it is better to sustain what you hold now.

Optimize your categories:

Whenever you create a new category make sure that you optimize it according to SEO. Make sure about the following,

  1. Optimize title and description of the category according to keyword
  2. Include short introduction
  3. Add images with ALT text
  4. Slug optimization
  5. Include sitemap
  6. Add internal links that point to categories

When you are optimizing your website according to SEO, make sure you concentrate on all its stuff. Missing even one or two could really impact the normal ranking positions. Ensure that the entered meta tags are relevant and keyword oriented. This would help your website to rank better for the keyword that you have targeted on the meta tags.

Use HTML and CSS navigations:

It is recommended to avoid using Javascript and AJAX while building navigations. To turn it simple and easier for search crawlers to navigate easier is by implementing HTML tags along with CSS formatting.

Also, avoid using images for navigation, rather make use of text. Which means, if you wish to link a category to the home page, then do not add an image and link it rather have some text link on the page.

Create SEO friendly permalink structure:

The most important thing that you need to remember is the permalink structure. You should be mindful to create SEO related URLs that match your site structure.

For example:

Let’s assume that you have decided to adopt this site structure for your music blog:

Homepage
music Category -> Articles
western music Category – > Articles
Your permalink structure should be as follows:

mymusicblog.com
mymusicblog.com/articles/music
myfitnessblog.com/articles/westernmusic

So the example of permalink structure would have helped you much better to design a proper site structure for your website.

Provide XML sitemap:

It is really important to create a sitemap for your website and share it with the search engine. At the same time, you can include an HTML sitemap at the footer of your website that your users could use them to the know the hierarchy of the website.
Here is an example of sitemap from K2B Solutions,
XML Sitemap

Wrap up:

We do not know how far you were aware of the techniques, but we intended to write this post in order to help you out and many others to build a website that not only your users would like but also the search engines would like.

Make sure to follow all the above-mentioned techniques to rank better on Google’s search engine and make your website appear on the top ranking of most search engines.

The most important digital marketing trends of 2018 http://2020.k2bindia.com/wp/digital-marketing-trends-of-2018/ Wed, 14 Mar 2018 13:17:49 +0000 http://2020.k2bindia.com/wp/?p=16482 Planning to check what works for your business and what not works this year? As you are busy working on these experiments we would recommend you to involve these tactics to know if it works for your business. We have summed up a list of digital marketing trends to keep an eye on and to implement them this year.

Digital-Marketing-Trends

Optimizing it for voice search:

Voice search is already on the go. People find it comfortable to make use of this technology. Most smart devices are already equipped with voice search techniques. Google also considers it really important when compared to normal searches. On the other hand, IoT is also taking its track parallelly with Google home.

Voise Control

What makes voice search so unique?

Voice search makes it simple when it comes to searching an information on the web. Normally when people are on the go, they would find it really hard to type their queries all the way on the search tab. Earlier, when Siri was introduced by Apple, it made users really more comfortable to find information on the web.

This eventually had an impact among all other technologies and platforms. But that is where many found it difficult to manage. Because whenever a user mentioned a typical word that the voice analyzer wasn’t able to recognize, it generated a wrong information. This indeed tested the emotions of the user. Understanding the pain points of the user, the AI bots were further furnished for a better performance. Now all this have paved way for improving marketing techniques.

As voice searches have become the most important aspect of searches, people started to expect the same on websites which they visit. Most businesses have already optimized their websites for voice search. Still, business owners are trying to make it more natural for the user. It is also expected that SEO will shift towards natural searches. That is why businesses tend to concentrate more on voice searches and to make it more efficient along with AI.

Mobile first indexing is becoming authoritative:

We believe many of you all would be peeping into this post from your mobile. Yes! mobile searches are turning out to be authoritative which made businesses to highly concentrate on the same. It is recorded that 58% of searches and visits were done on mobile devices. People depart timely and they wish that it would be more convenient if mobile could make it up for all their online needs.

mobile-1st-indexing

And that has already come into existence. Most websites have turned to be mobile friendly which indeed improved their conversion rates. And it is expected that mobile-first indexing would continue year-over-year. There are certain benefits that really matters for business owners,

  • Influence a best-in-class user experience strategy that makes customers to complete the final payment
  • Stay ahead of competitive websites and trends
  • Builds an optimum experience across devices that build flexibility and reliability for your customers to adapt
  • Improves search engine ranking that automatically floods in traffic

With all these benefits businesses are trying to upgrade their websites to the next level meeting both customer needs and Google’s requirement.

Google AMP will influence digital marketing:

Google AMP is the latest technology that was found to instantly track mobile devices. It relies on a specific form of HTML which is so-called the AMP HTML. It strips down the presentation of the content. This technology was considered very important for SEO at the very instance when it was launched. It is because of the speed update that Google released.

AMP K2B Solutions

Every business was in an urge to transform their website. It is because, Google’s update was predicted to ruin all the websites that lack instant loading speed. In order to overcome, business owners started to update their websites to the AMP version. This indeed improved their ranking.

The following are the positive effects of AMP on digital marketing:

1. Google AMP is common to all publishers
2. AMP is an open source
3. Paid search impressions are likely to improve
4. AMP enabled articles ranks higher on SERP
5. Analytics is expected to arrive soon at AMP
6. Content will obtain more readers
7. It is expected to have more features and formatting options shortly

With all these features on AMP, businesses that adapt AMP version of websites will soon find its best way to SERP. If you haven’t planned for it, then this would be the right chance for you to upgrade to AMP. Make sure that you get it done before the speed update hits the web on June 2018.

Chatbots on the move:

This year there would be an intense need to think about the social media bots. Chatbots are in existence for the past few years but we have found a huge AI improvement in recent days. At recent times, companies have started to make use of these chatbots for their customer support and marketing strategies.

Chatbots are highly used for customer service. The analysis states 61% of consumer chatbot’s interactions are focused on customer-service related questions. We find a bright scope for the future bots too which is estimated as 85% of customer interaction managed by chatbots by 2020.

chat-bot

You might be thinking, how effective these chatbots implementations be? We could challenge you on this. Many of us would have come across bots that made us blind. We would find it difficult to differentiate between a human and the bot. Why not use the same strategy on your website? Make it more fun and engaging to start the conversation. Because it might find them harder to trust these bots initially.

Data-driven techniques could really work well with audience engagement. For example, if you are sending some 1000 messages via chatbots tool, it is sure that at least 800 people will see your message. These rates are highly appreciable when compared to email open rates. Thus, making it a unique channel that cannot be ignored.

Reviews:

Organic traffic from SEO is considered to be the biggest source of traffic for businesses. In spite of various factors and elements that are involved in ranking, reviews stay ahead of any other strategies. The search engine giant analyzes all your Facebook reviews, Google reviews, Yelp reviews and more.

men review icon

The ultimate purpose of Google analyzing all these reviews is, “what is the need for Google to prioritize a business in search engine which holds a single star rating”. And that is why Google reviews are considered important as they could build or even break a sale for you.

On research, it is found that most adults under the age of 50 regularly check on online reviews before purchasing a product. Do you wonder what would they find? A set of positive reviews could build them trust and help them make bold decisions. Trying building a healthy plan for obtaining positive reviews for your business. But make sure that you are safe to incentivize people as this method is not recommended.

Media assets:

No matter what type of business you’re in. You need to consider your business as a media company. Where do you gather your information about what’s going on in this world? What would you prefer reading news online or reading a newspaper? The news that you gather handles the conversation for the day, week and month.

The only way that you could handle an effective conversation with your client is by getting quality content in front of them. Build a platform that is completely focused on providing authentic content to your end customers. This content could be of any form either a blog, podcast, video or even a live stream that you could post on regular basis. Any business that posts authentic, relevant and informational content will stand ahead of its competitors.

Search Engine Marketing is the process in which the individual gets into ‘hunt mode’ on the web. This reacts as an indication to the search engine that the person is looking for an information. This provides a hint to the marketer that the person is in any one of the stages of the buyer’s cycle, which is the start, middle and the end.

Let us have a deep research on what is Search Engine Marketing and how it works effectively,

Search engine marketing:

Search Engine Marketing is a whole term that includes Search Engine Optimization and paid activities. Most industries started to make use of SEM as it included both SEO and paid activities which helped their market research more convenient.

Search-engine-marketing

SEM for beginners:

Search Engine Marketing is a tool that is used to promote businesses through paid ads which appear in search engine results. Ad makers rely on keywords and they bid on specific keywords that are commonly used by customers on Google and Bing. This helps advertisers to make it up on search results.

These ads are often termed as Pay-Per-Click ads. And they come in different formats such as, text-based, product listing ads which are more visual. The product-based ads are more effective as they provide a brief description of the product.

The best advantage of using SEM is that it helps marketers to put on ads that grab the interest of visitors to buy them in an instance. There is no optional advertising medium that helps marketers in a better way.

Major strategies for search engine marketing:

There are two major aspects of search engine marketing:

  • Search engine optimization
  • Paid search marketing

Search engine optimization

Search Engine Optimization helps web searches to rank through natural searches and not through paid results. Many people are good at differentiating Paid vs Organic searches. And people are able to understand which would work better and they give priority to natural search options.

It is possible for website owners to improve search ranking through meta tags in website code, relevant content and we connect through quality resources.

Paid marketing

Paid marketing is through pay-per-click or pay-per-action. This helps search engine to display your website on search engine results and you need to pay when a click is done. Google Adwords program displays your ad on the top right side of the search results. There are chances that Google displays your ad on websites that run Adsense Program. There are various other options PPC ads that are run as Facebook Ads

Difference between SEM and SEO:

Search Engine Optimization, these practices are generally based on search engines but they are not paid as SEM are. The strategy that helps optimization is by having relevant content on your website with the rich keyword in it.

Both SEO and SEM are interrelated to one another. SEO is capable of driving natural traffic which is organic, whereas paid ads is a cost-effective way of generating traffic at the bottom of the tunnel.

How does it work for your business?

Some people are very good at analyzing how it works for their business. And that is why such people are able to utilize SEM in an effective manner. Let me tell you for what reasons people use SEM, the following are the reasons that people use SEM.

  • Sell products
  • Building brand
  • Inspire your competitor’s traffic
  • Generate Leads

Now let us see how to make use of Search Engine Marketing Effectively.

To get started:
Based on the search strategy you need to make changes to your website;

#1 Design your search strategy:

Make sure that you come to a conclusion based on your long time and short time goals. Though it may take time for results in organic rankings, it is easy to launch paid search campaign at once. You need to have a few more thing into consideration, your budget, marketing objectives, and the amount of traffic you need. On reviewing the abilities and disabilities you can frame your search strategy.

#2 Generate keywords:

Keywords are the essential tool generate traffic. You need be aware of what your customers are looking out for. So it is good that before you start your campaign you need to find the keywords for which you need to run your ads. You can make use of tools to generate keywords.

How to process SEM keyword research:

It is so much essential to run a keyword research process before you could process ad campaigns. You need to find those keywords targeting your set of audience and relevant to your business. The only way to perform keyword research analysis is through Keyword research tool.

You could make use of either paid version or free tools to process keyword research. Either of the ways is effective. But paid version is highly recommended as they come up with better results and search volume.

To initiate keyword research, you need to enter the relevant word for your business and that your targeted customers are looking out for. Now you will find ideas that are closely related to search engine marketing campaigns.

In addition to finding keywords you need to bid on you need to have a keen research to exclude negative keywords from your campaign. Negative keywords are the ones that are unlikely to result in conversions. The concept is so-called “search intent”. You get to know the exact intention of your target audience and present them the way they actually expect.

The following are the examples of high intent keyword,

  • Buy
  • Deals
  • Coupons
  • Free shopping
  • Discount

The following tree structure could help you better understand on keyword and account structure:

SEM-Process-Flow

  • The SEM ad-auction:

The most lasting failure of Search Engine Marketing is the highest advertising budget wins. Though highest advertising budget is beneficial specifically for targeting on a high competitive keyword. But that is not going to make it up for a successful search engine marketing. As the ads undergo ad-auction process before they could appear in search results.

Now let us have a look on Ad-auction,

  • What is ad-auction?

The process of estimation of ads that will appear on the screen and the amount you could earn through it. The same way it determines the price that an advertiser is willing to pay for a click on ads or maybe for the impression that appears on the Adsense page.

  • How does it work?

Ad-auction takes place whenever the search query is entered on the search tab. To appear on the ad-auction advertisers find a set of keywords, and how much they would wish to bid on those keywords. In case if Google finds that the keyword you have bid for has appeared on the user search query then your ads are automatically added to the ad-auction.

  • How to win on ad auction?

It is not that easy to get your ad keyword to appear in all search queries. As ad-auction looks out for various factors which could determine your ad appears on SERP. And that not all keyword has the intent of appearing in all commercial searches. There are two main factors that Google evaluates is the maximum bid and quality score.

Quality Score is a metric which depends on the complete quality of advertisement. And Maximum bid is the max.amount specified for pay-per-click. Both together determines the Ad-Rank.

#3 Upgrade your website:

Ensure that the content on the website is present in an organized manner
Make your content keyword rich
Discard technologies that prevent your content to be read by search engines
Submit your website on important directories for better search results

#4 Produce inbound links:

Any search engine could reward you only when your website is valuable. If there are links passing through your website then search engines would consider your website more valuable. More links on your website would help your website rank higher. If you wish to generate links from top companies, recognized directories, and reputable organizations, then you need to have quality content on your website.

#5 Execute additional internet campaigns:

  • Make use of social media
  • Include blogs on your website
  • RSS Feed could help you generate content and distribute them across websites
  • Create Press Releases on web

#6 Now check your paid search:

  • To kick-start, your paid search do the following,
  • You need to create landing pages for each campaign

Everything is most likely to be live

Many would have witnessed the social media giant, Facebook entering into the world of live streaming as a result of the user requiring more interactions in real-time. So the users are likely to peep into the in-the-moment content which gives them a view of the real-time world. The increase in the internet speeds along with the ubiquity of mobile devices led to this demand. Since the live streaming feature got a full acceptance, many apps are targeting to introduce the live streaming feature in one way or the other. Experts predict that 2017 is going to be the year for live streaming to get the exact spot to stretch its wings.

Augmented Reality (AR) is nearing its scope

In recent times, people are crazy about a game called Pokemon Go. The game went viral, and many users and gamers started playing this fantastic game that made a profit of $10 million a day as a new revenue. The hype is all because of the revolution called as Augmented Reality (AR). The game showed a vision of two major things to the online marketing.

In the digital marketing perspective, many brands are sure to come out with AR ads, AR games, and apps that use AR as the main feature.

Data visualization will expand its wings

Data and information are said to be the lifeblood of all the marketers. Marketers need a huge sort of information to detail us with the customer information like who, what, when, and why. Sometimes even very established data analytics fail to understand what the data is all about as our brains are not made to process the enormous amount of numerical data. To make this process efficient and interpretation part easier, there are many data analytics tools like Chart.js, Raw, Timeline, Exhibit, etc. But, what is the significant change in 2017? Few enterprises have already begun to use these tools, and in 2017, every business will be trying to use the potential of these tools. The companies that are going to omit this are sure to fall into the disadvantage zone. 2017 is the year where data analytics needs will be greater that expected.

Mobile will continue complete domination

In 2016, we saw changes like the search giant Google introducing a mobile-friendly algorithm which phased-out websites that are not optimized for mobile use. Many stats were released that insisted the high use of the mobile over desktop. The traffic was moving towards mobile leaving desktop behind, making mobile-focused Internet marketing an essential. Digital marketers predicted that 2017 is going to the year where concentration will be more on mobile search and mobile optimization.

Social conversion will take its space

The power of social media is huge and enough has been said about the potential and impact of social media over the internet. In 2016, companies were focusing more on company-consumer conversion and attracting new and potential prospects. But 2017 is going to be entirely different for businesses and digital marketers as they will start using social media to provide potential opportunities on how to improve conversion rates making the business profit a huge ROI. As per the statement from the industry experts, social media will now work as a new conversion channel and will offer many tools that help the businesses convert every prospect into potential buyers.

Algorithms will frequently be updated

This year we saw few frequent updates in search algorithm and the scene is going to be entirely different in 2017 as per the digital marketing experts’ prediction. This is because of the huge amount of data entering into the web every second. Search giants are likely to throw frequent updates on deciding which content to get priority to the search query. The only strategy for the companies to remain stable is with the help of original, useful and informative content. Many marketers stay active and concentrate more on the Google’s algorithm but the time has come to focus on Facebook’s and Bing’s algorithm

And when it comes to ads, the landing pages play a vital role in determining the conversion rates. So, what is a landing page?

Landing Page:

According to Wishpond, “A landing page is a distinct page on your website that’s built for one single conversion objective. In other words, a landing page should be designed, written and developed with one business purpose in mind.” In simple words, a landing page is a web page where users or ad clickers are sent specifically to create conversions. The landing page will not be navigable through the main website, and the navigation is restricted to achieve the maximum goal objective.

  • Lead-generation landing page: This type of landing pages are used to capture user data like name and email address that can be used for further marketing.

Don’t break these rules – Rules are meant to be followed:

Rule 1: Home page is not your landing page – don’t send ad traffic to it.
The home page doesn’t have all the necessary and detailed information about your product or services. The chances are high that some of the customers might get missed as they might click and follow some other link. The potential target of the ads is to convert browsers into buyers and not the vice-versa.

Rule 2: The relevancy and the clarity of the page are important:
The world is moving fast, so as your visitors. They don’t have much time to read irrelevant content. If the customers don’t find anything relevant to what they are looking for, they are likely to move to some other website. All you have is only a few seconds to attract your customers/visitors. For perfection, ask the following questions what they have in their mind.

  • Does this page have the information what I am looking?
  • Can I believe the site?
  • How good are they?

Rule 3: Follow the global structure:

Every landing page has a structure that people develop globally. Breaking it might work for some business, but it often results in failure. Follow the structure to achieve the maximum from your landing pages. The structure/features of a landing page are explained below.

Most converting landing pages has these features:

  3. Proper grammar – Proper language is crucial to gain the trust of the customer. A sloppy grammar or an improper spelling might lose the trust along with the conversion.
  4. Testimonials and other trust indicators – Incorporate testimonials of your clients to gain more confidence and also you can make use of the press mentions, third-party trust certificates and more.
  5. Strong call to action – Call to action is vital as they will look for what to do next after reading the content. Conversion button should stand out. Make sure the button is big, bright and orange or yellow to grab user’s attention.
  6. Clean images and video – Motivational speeches, testimonial videos and mostly the product images engages user attractions.
  7. Crisp and above the fold – Keep all the important elements of the landing page above the fold i.e. the space the visitors sees before scrolling. Also, place the call-to-action button above the fold to get more conversion.
