Whether you are running a B2B or B2C marketing campaign chances are you want to increase the conversion rates of your existing landing pages. If you are not currently looking to optimize your pages, well, you should be.
The significance of steady, measurable, incremental improvements in the online marketplace is so huge we won’t even be able to discuss in this post. Anyway, on to the Conversion Case Study.
A recent client set out to increase the conversion rate of their B2C landing pages. Sounds easy enough, right? After looking at a wide variety of variables including the landing page design, the persuasion value of the copy, the call to action, and many others, we realized that in order to increase the conversion rate of their landing page we needed to forget about the page entirely.
What? How can you increase the conversion rate of a specific page without making any changes to the page itself? The answer is Ad Copy.
Our client was promoting their landing page with Google Adwords. Turns out a large group of the keywords in a high volume Ad Group were irrelevant to the landing page itself, causing visitors from those irrelevant keywords to bounce out and inevitably never convert.
By decreasing the amount of traffic from terms that were only loosely related to the page we sent conversions through the roof!
