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.
