📝 Landing Page Redesign
The conversion rate on a product landing page can make or break the profitability of a business. High conversion rates lead to lower customer acquisition costs and improved unit economics, while low conversion rates mean you likely won’t be in business for much longer.
Part of a growth marketer’s job is improving these landing pages to optimize for conversions. Whether it’s rewriting copy, changing up the size of buttons, or inserting eye-catching photos, they’ll do anything to get you to sign up.
Recently, I was hired to help optimize the landing page of a career prep product. I’ll be covering what I did and the rationale behind each of the changes I made.
