Does your page load in 0:03 or less?

Does it sell the prospect on the next step in your sales process?

A professional looking, well designed page increases conversions.

Forms are typically more effective at the top of the page, so visitors don’t need to scroll to find it (link to the form via button if the form is not placed at the top of the page).

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”A Clear Call To Action” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Make sure your page clearly tells the visitor what to do (your Call To Action (CTA))

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Easy To Read Text” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

You should use a font and font size that is clear to read

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Use Contrasting Colors” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Your text should clearly contrast with the background color to make it easier to read.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Images” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Select images that help the visitor to visualize themselves with your product or service and not images that detract from it.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Business Name” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Is your business name clearly identified on the page?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Your Logo” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Does your logo properly represent your branding and does it look professionally designed?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Phone Number” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Is your phone number positioned on the top of the page and is it clickable for mobile?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Does The Page Match Your Website?” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Is it easy for a visitor to move through your page to arrive at your Call To Action?

You don’t want the page to have a navigation menu. You want to keep the visitor on the landing page until they take the desired action or leave the page.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Headline” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Does the headline “sell” the visitor on consuming the remainder page content?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Unique Selling Proposition (USP) or Offer” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Does the page communicate the Unique Selling Proposition or “the offer”

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Relevant Content” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Does content directly relate to and support the product being offered?

Are your keywords contained in the content?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Grammar and Punctuation” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Did you check the grammar and punctuation to make sure it’s correct?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Spelling” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Make your written content easy to read. Keep paragraphs and sentences short, typically 1 or 2 sentences per paragraph.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Get To The Point” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Limit your text to the essential points.

The more form fields you ask the visitor to complete, the lower the conversion. Only ask for the minimum information you need.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”The Offer” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

How does your offer compare? Why would a visitor choose you over your competitors?

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Urgency or Scarcity” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#ffffff” use_circle=”on” circle_color=”#0c71c3″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”18px”]

Limited time or limited availability offers tend to convert better.
