Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these 5 steps to complete this guide

  1. 1

    Message Match

    The landing page headline and content must directly continue the promise made in the ad. If your ad says 'Get a Free Quote in 2 Minutes,' the landing page headline should reinforce that exact offer.

  2. 2

    Speed

    Every second of load time costs conversions. Aim for under 3 seconds. Compress images, minimise code, use a CDN, and eliminate unnecessary scripts. Test speed with Google PageSpeed Insights.

  3. 3

    Form Optimisation

    Only ask for information you absolutely need. Every additional field reduces completions. For lead gen, name + email + phone is often sufficient. Use multi-step forms for complex data collection.

  4. 4

    Social Proof

    Include testimonials, review stars, client logos, case study results, or trust badges near your CTA. Social proof reduces anxiety and increases confidence.

  5. 5

    Mobile Optimisation

    Most ad traffic is mobile. Ensure your page works perfectly on phones: large touch targets, readable text without zooming, fast load, and easy form completion.
