Landing Page Mistakes That Harm Both SEO and Conversions

Over forty percent of B2B clicks are directed to a home page, rather than a dedicated landing page. The problem is that landing page relevance and performance is an important part of your Quality Score.

When you send paid traffic to an unoptimised landing page, it undermines your own efforts. This means you have to work harder, or spend more, to make a small return. There are some common landing page mistakes many businesses make that harm SEO and conversions.

Slow Page Speed

Your page speed is probably the biggest impact on your landing page performance. When a page takes more than five seconds to load, you can lose over seventy percent of your traffic. If that's not enough, e-commerce sites need a three second delay to lose half of their website traffic.

Your landing page may offer excellent value to your audience, but your audience won't stick around to find out if your pages are taking too long to load. Some tips to fix this include:

  • Test your site speed using Google's PageSpeed Insights tool
  • Clean up any code and ensure your landing page is well-organised and free of clutter
  • Minimise redirects where possible
  • Compress images without compromising on image quality
  • Upgrade your hosting provider

Cluttered Page

Did you know that close to fifty percent of landing pages have multiple offers, while only sixteen percent are free of navigational bars. Your landing pages should be focused without navigational bars. Landing pages should be clean and well-organised, completely free of clutter. 

Poor Headlines

A great headline is essential to your landing page success. This is the first impression your audience has of the page they are going to visit. A good headline should provide pleasure, taking pain away.

Irrelevant Visuals

Use original and high quality images. When you use people in real images, you can improve your conversions. Your visuals should:

Generic Call to Action

Every one of your landing pages should have its own compelling call to action. It's also where you place your call to action button on the page. Your call to action button should be above the fold, making use of whitespace around it to focus attention. Rather than using the traditional “sign up” or “find out more” as call to actions, you can try something unique, such as “Try Genie Crawl.”

Conclusion

You can have the best offer, but your audience won't convert if they don't stick around to find out more. Slow loading pages are one of the most common causes of landing page bounce rates. Slow loading pages with a second delay can cause your website visitors to leave your page. Eliminate the clutter, create headlines that capture your audiences attention, using relevant images, while creating a compelling call to action.
