The Simple Landing Page Tweak That Could Double Your Conversions
Discover how one counterintuitive landing page strategy helped us achieve a 35% conversion rate
Today I want to share something that could dramatically transform your marketing results - and it has nothing to do with your ad spend, targeting, or creative...
It's all about how you build your landing pages. But not in the way you might think!
As a Reminder, Our Goal with this Newsletter is to Give You the Highest Level of Value Possible. That's my Promise to you & I intend to Over-Deliver!
Here's a Sneak Peek at What's Inside This Email:
Why most marketers build landing pages backwards (and how to fix it)
The exact formula for a high-converting landing page
How we increased our conversion rates from 12% to 35% with one simple change
A step-by-step optimization strategy you can implement today
Alright, let's Dive In...
The "Back-to-Front" Landing Page Formula đź“ť
Here's a shocking truth: Most marketers are building their landing pages completely backwards.
They start by asking themselves "What information do I need to collect?" and then design their pages around gathering every possible detail - name, email, phone, company size, budget, and more.
This is what I call building "front-to-back" - and it's killing your conversions.
Instead, I want to share a completely different approach that we've used to dramatically increase conversion rates across thousands of campaigns...
It's called the "Back-to-Front" method, and it starts with one simple question:
"What's the minimum interaction needed to start a relationship with your potential client?"
The Two Core Elements of a High-Converting Landing Page
Through extensive testing, we've found that you really only need two core elements to start:
A headline that speaks directly to your ideal client's pain
A simple opt-in
That's it.
Now, I know what you're thinking - "That's way too simple, Aleric!"
But here's why it works:
When somebody lands on your page, you have about 3 seconds to grab their attention. Your headline needs to stop them in their tracks by speaking directly to their biggest challenge or desire.
For example, if you're targeting business owners struggling with lead generation, your headline might be: "Stop Wasting Money on Ads That Don't Convert"
It's specific, speaks to a pain point, and promises a solution.
The Optimization Framework
Here's the exact framework we use to optimize our landing pages:
Start Simple: Begin with just your headline and opt-in form
Test Until You Hit 20-25% Conversion Rate: This is your baseline goal before adding anything else
Keep Everything Above the Fold: All critical elements should be visible without scrolling
Add Qualification Fields One at a Time: Only after hitting your baseline conversion rate
Track Post-Opt-In Actions: Focus on quality, not just quantity
Pro Tip: When testing headlines, create three variations that speak to different aspects of your audience's pain points:
Time saved
Money wasted
Missed opportunities
The Most Important Element (That Everyone Misses)
Now, here's what separates good landing pages from great ones...
Your offer.
You can have the perfect headline, the cleanest design, and the most optimized form fields - but if your offer doesn't solve an immediate problem, none of it matters.
Let me share a personal example:
When we first started running YouTube ads for clients, our landing page offered a generic "YouTube Ad marketing guide." Our conversion rate? A measly 12%.
Then we changed the offer to a specific framework showing exactly how to scale your business using YouTube ads. Same page design. Same form fields. But our conversion rate jumped to 35%!
That's almost 3X higher - just by making the offer more specific and solution-focused.
