So you just built custom landing pages in Unbounce along with variations to A/B test?

Get rapid A/B test results by driving targeted traffic to your landing pages.

What is a Landing Page?

sample landing page

A landing page is a single web page with focused sales copy that drives a customer towards a specific conversion goal.

But many businesses make the mistake of sending all of their traffic to their home page. The problem is your home page has way too much going on. Rather than focusing on a single message, your homepage pitches everything on your website: your products, your company, events, blog posts, even jobs. Instead of pointing potential customers to your home page, build a landing page with a single call to action.

Worse yet, many businesses fail to test changes to their pages. Is your headline as effective as it could be? Does that image help visitors understand the value of your offer? Does your button clearly guide people to the next step? Make sure to A/B test your landing pages to optimize for conversions. So how do you get started?
