One of the biggest mistakes marketers continue to make is sending prospects to their homepage. The problem with that is homepages are not designed to convert traffic into leads. A homepage is typically more of a browsing experience for online users. Fortunately, there is a better option to convert traffic: lead capture pages.

A lead capture page is designed to convert traffic into leads because it is highly focused on a single offer.

Our latest guide, “What is a Lead Capture Page?,” will help you understand the fundamental best practices you need to create fully optimized pages.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll teach you:

  • The secrets behind successful lead capture pages, how they can help generate leads, and how they are different from other page types
  • Eight specific page elements to include on your lead capture pages to maximize conversions
  • The importance of A/B testing and what specific page elements to test to determine what’s assisting conversions — and what’s not
  • How to create lead capture pages and why a dedicated post-click landing page software is the best option
