Why user-test your landing pages?
Problems with landing pages
Even as a savvy player in the digital world, you will likely visit some websites and immediately sense something is amiss. Maybe the way the page makes you feel does not match your expectations; perhaps you read the headline and absorb the imagery and aren't sure what the site offers, or you read on and have important questions to which you can't find answers. These issues and mismatches lead to one thing, abandonment.
The website owner is most likely blissfully unaware of these subtle issues that are losing customers and money. They have spent time and money getting customers to their site, only to see that marketing effort wasted. This is why getting feedback from potential customers on your landing pages can be highly valuable. User testing helps you identify and fix landing page issues and optimise them for conversions.
Success through user testing
A successful landing page can make or break a business. High-performing landing pages are essential for converting traffic into leads and customers. Creating an effective landing page requires careful planning, design, and optimisation to ensure that it meets the specific needs of its target audience.
In landing page testing, real potential customers provide feedback on their experience of a landing page. This feedback will help you understand what is working well, what isn't working and why. By understanding how users interact with your landing pages, you can make improvements that lead to more conversions.
User testing will help you refine a clear and concise message that your target visitors will understand and relate to; it will ensure that your calls to action are understandable and relevant and check that the page design is attractive and engaging.
Landing page optimisation leads to:
Increased conversions: A well-optimised landing page can significantly increase your conversion rates. By refining critical elements like the headline, messaging, and call-to-action, you can create a more compelling user experience that motivates more visitors to take action.
Improved user experience: A landing page optimised for user experience can improve visitor engagement and reduce bounce rates, leading to longer time-on-page, more page views, and ultimately more conversions.
Lowered cost-per-click: Optimising your landing pages can also help reduce your cost-per-click by improving the relevance and quality of your landing page, leading to a higher Quality Score in Google Ads and a lower cost-per-click.
Learning: Testing different versions of your landing page can provide valuable insights into what works and doesn't work for your audience. Optimising your landing page can improve your overall marketing performance and ROI.
Saved time and money: User testing can help you identify issues early in the design process, saving you time and money in the long run. By making small changes based on user feedback, you can avoid redesigns or marketing campaigns that don't perform well.
Better understood user behaviour: User testing can provide insight into how users behave and what motivates them. This information can help you make more informed decisions about your marketing and product strategies.
