When marketers sit down to create an effective marketing strategy, many of them take cues from industry leaders. We can do the same with landing page examples.
The action-oriented, standalone web pages are being used by businesses of all sizes to move people through every stage of the buyer’s journey. Before we delve into the 110 landing page examples, let’s first see what makes a landing page effective.
An effective landing page is a page that succeeds in converting visitors. High-converting landing pages use a combination of optimized and personalized elements, such as a benefit-driven headline, value proposition-focused copy, relevant media, social proof, and a conversion-worthy CTA offer to persuade visitors to opt-in. An ineffective landing page is a page that does the opposite. Remember, there is a significant difference between a homepage and a landing page.
Below you’ll find 100 examples of some of the best and worst landing pages on the internet, complete with full critiques. Sift through them to learn what to do and what not to do to create a highly effective landing page of your own.
(The landing page examples below were displayed as shown at one point in time. Some landing page examples have since changed but the critiques are still valid. Keep in mind, for shorter pages, we’ve shown the entire page. For longer pages, we only displayed above the fold.)
110 landing page examples
1. Casper
What they did well:
- The headline tells visitors why they should buy a Casper mattress.
- The imagery has a very homey, family feel which is perfect for the brand.
- The testimonials by influential brands such as Time & Good Housekeeping provide social proof for the offer.
- Bullet point copy makes it easy to read and lists the reasons why Casper is the smart choice for the visitor.
- The customer testimonials from regular people reassure the user that other people like them have also enjoyed sleeping on a Casper mattress.
- The 100-night risk-free offer adds credibility to the page.
- The pricing chart helps the visitor decide whether they should click the CTA button.
- The “Shop Now” CTA button contrasts with the background image and tells the visitor what to expect when they click it.
- The phone number option gives a chance to visitors to get all their questions answered.
What to A/B test:
- The secondary CTA button “Find a store near you” is great for visitors who aren’t ready to buy the mattress online without testing it out in person. However, having competing CTA buttons on the page means there are multiple goals. Not focusing attention on either one could limit conversions.
- Listing competing brands could backfire on Casper because even though they are listed as the least expensive option, consumers will likely research every other brand on the page, even if they were not aware of the other brands before seeing them listed here.
- With a rather long page, using anchor tags or visual cues could persuade visitors to pay attention to specific elements on the page (e.g. customer testimonials).
2. Merrill Edge
What they did well:
- The headline is clear because it explains why the visitor should do stock trading with Merrill Edge because it only costs $6.95 fee per online and ETF trade.
- The updated stock market summary image gives the visitor a recap of the market when they land on the page.
- The benefits are listed with iconography which helps the visitor read them quickly and understand the benefits of the offer.
- The account process is explained so the visitor knows what to do after they click the CTA button.
- The red CTA button color stands out on the page so you know exactly where to go to “Get Started” with Merrill Edge.
What to A/B test:
- The navigation links at the bottom of the page give the user an easy way to exit the page before clicking the CTA button.
- The “Get Started” CTA button copy could be improved because it is too generic. “Start Trading Now” provides more urgency and may encourage more conversions
- The verbosity of the page could be too much for the visitor to digest.
3. Magento
What they did well:
- The 1-field lead capture form is appropriate for a free report and likely generates a lot of conversions because visitors don’t have to give up too much personal information.
- The CTA button copy is relevant to the offer and the red button color contrasts with the page.
- Customer badges from Coca-Cola and Canon add social proof to the page.
- The Gartner quote gives the visitor a sneak peek of what the report will entail.
- The Magento by numbers section gives the user a quick snapshot of the company.
- Attractive iconography coupled with supporting copy details how the Magento platform works.
What to A/B test:
- The headline is unique but isn’t very persuasive. The supporting headline gives more details but it still speaks about Magento. Had it focused more on the visitor, it might generate more conversions.
- The featured image is a little confusing. How does a cityscape transposed onto a man’s body encourage people to download the report?
- The gray CTA button at the top right goes unnoticed because it doesn’t contrast with the gray background.
- Social media buttons near the bottom give people too many ways to leave the page without downloading the report first.
4. Quip
What they did well:
- The headline is clear and to the point because it states Quip’s UVP.
- The “Get Quip” CTA button copy is direct and lets people know that they will ‘Get Quip’ once they click it.
- The image of the different-sized brushes shows the visitor that Quip has a brush that’s perfect for their mouth.
- The big brand reviews by GQ, Time, and American Dental Association add credibility to the offer.
- Quip’s benefits are mentioned in separate page sections with relevant images that add a nice visual appeal to the page while explaining each benefit.
- The pricing section allows people to choose which Quip model to purchase.
- The FAQ section answers the most common inquiries Quip receives so the visitor can make an easier decision.
What to A/B test:
- The navigation links in the page header give the user a way to leave the page very quickly. What is the goal of this page: for people to navigate around, or to generate new customers?
- The 4.96 rating is impressive, but without mentioning where the reviews are hosted, prospects may question if the reviews are real and where they can read them.
- The blog links on the page don’t make a lot of sense because they take the visitor away from the offer.
- The light green CTA buttons don’t contrast with the page as much as they could. By designing them the same color as the blog images at the bottom, they may not receive as many clicks.
5. Glen Park
What they did well:
- The services are explained with bullet points which makes it easier for the user to review them and decide whether Glen Park is the best option for the visitor.
- The accreditations add credibility to the brand.
- The floor plan images help the visitor get a better visual feel for the facility.
What to A/B test:
- The headline is pretty bland and doesn’t convey the USP of the Glen Park facility. Instead, the headline could use an emotional narrative that would speak to the visitor’s emotional side.
- The CTA button copy seems to be misaligned, making the button look odd.
- The first schedule a tour section comes a bit too early on the page. The visitor has not had a chance to review the accreditations, services, social activities, types of care offered, or floor plans yet further down the page.
- The form requests too much information just to download a brochure.
6. Capella University
What they did well:
- The headline will resonate with the visitor since it addresses a problem that most college students experience.
- The background image is very relevant to the headline.
- The bullet points list why the visitor should enroll in Capella University.
- The form headline and the CTA button copy maintain message-match.
- The accreditation section ensures the visitor that the university is a recognized facility for higher education.
What to A/B test:
- The navigation links in the page header and footer give visitors a way to exit the page.
- The empty space to the left of the form makes the page seem unbalanced. In addition, letting elements breathe more between the form and copy lets people scan the page and understand each section better.
7. Guideline
What they did well:
- The headline highlights the service’s UVP.
- The form is short and doesn’t ask for unnecessary information.
- The primary and secondary CTA button both have clear copy.
- Ample white space throughout the page makes the page aesthetically pleasing and likely won’t create anxiety for prospects.
- Bullet point benefits make it easier for the visitor to take in all the information and understand the Guideline 401K program.
- Social proof from The New York Times, CNBC, Forbes, and others add credibility to the page.
What to A/B test:
- The headline can be more descriptive. Even though it highlights the UVP, adding more detail would make the headline more convincing.
- Adding customer testimonials would help visitors make their decision, as they would allow the visitor to see how others have benefitted from Guideline.
8. Munchery
What they did well:
- The headline explains the services: fresh food delivered to you without you leaving the house.
- The background image is mouthwatering and relevant to the offer.
- Nearly 900 Trustpilot customer reviews help the visitor decide whether they should order from Munchery.
- The customer favorites section gives visitors a peek of what kind of meals they can expect from Munchery.
- The $20 off badge encourages visitors to take action and order food.
- The multi-step form helps visitors complete the sign-up process.
What to A/B test:
- The $20 off coupon could get more attention in the headline this way the visitor is likely to notice it as soon as they arrive on the page. Of course, this could also encourage more new users to try Munchery.
9. Cruise Zap
What they did well:
- The price strike-through in the headline reinforces the idea that the offer is available for a significant discount.
- The yellow CTA button jumps off the page and encourages visitors to start securing their cruise reservations now.
- The CTA button copy addresses the visitor in the second-person tone of voice and is relevant to the offer.
- The “As Seen In” section features notable brands such as NBC, CBS News, and FOX which reassures the visitor that Cruise Zap is a legitimate brand.
- The video testimonials are convincing because they feature real people who took advantage of the special offer. Plus, they are very short so visitors don’t have to sit through long videos to hear the customer stories.
- The FAQ section helps the visitor decide whether they want to invest in Cruise Zap.
What to A/B test:
- The headline could include an attraction of the cruise to make it more persuasive.
- The images look like bad stock photos and pretty boring for cruise pictures.
- More white space from top to bottom could help people navigate the page more efficiently.
10. dataxu
What they did well:
- The headline explains what dataxu does.
- The customer badges show prospects some of the big-name brands who have already benefited from dataxu.
- The 2-minute video is short and lets people know how long the content is before they hit play. Once clicked, the video shows visitors how customers can use the software.
- The security seals tell visitors it’s safe to use the software.
What to A/B test:
- The 97% fraud-free investment declaration could go against the offer, maybe the missing 3% is more important to visitors than the 97%.
- The report offer on the landing page gives visitors a way to leave the page.
- The ‘Learn More’ CTA button copy underneath the demo video could be more explicit about what happens next.
- Adding more white space would space everything out better and allow prospects to consume the page content better as they evaluate dataxu.
11. Uber
What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- A short form makes converting on this page easy.
What to A/B test:
- The "Ride with Uber" link is unnecessary. All it will do is drive prospects off the page. If they wanted to ride with uber, they would’ve clicked a PPC ad that allowed them to ride with Uber.
12. Moz
What they did well:
- The headline and subheadline work together to form a strong value proposition.
- The CTA button color draws prospect's attention.
- The image gives an inside look into what using the product is actually like.
- The copy is optimized for readability in small chunks.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract prospects from converting with links to other pages or social accounts.
- Social proof at the bottom of the page boosts prospect trust.
What to A/B test:
- A hyperlinked logo allows prospects to escape to the homepage without converting.
13. HubSpot + Canva
What they did well:
- The “How To” headline communicates a clear benefit.
- Copy separated into chunks make for an easily digestible page.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer, showing visitors what they’ll get after converting.
What to A/B test:
- This long form might deter prospects on the page from converting.
- The background image is confusing considering the ebook is about graphics. What does a mountain range have to do with graphics?
- More white space could help let the page elements “breathe” more and be even more persuasive than their current placement.
14. Content Marketing Institute
What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of the offer.
- The ability to select a webcast lets visitors choose the more appropriate content for their needs.
What to A/B test:
- This CTA button is easy to miss.
- Text blocks to the right make this page an intimidating one to read.
- The 9-field form might scare visitors off this page.
- The Twitter “share” button allows prospects to escape the page. What if your visitor shared the page, but didn’t return to the page and register themselves?
15. LinkedIn
What they did well:
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of the offer.
- The image gives an inside look into what using the product is actually like.
- Text is separated into smaller, readable chunks.
- The “autofill with LinkedIn” button allows visitors to complete the form with a simple click instead of having to complete this lengthy form.
What to A/B test:
- “Submit” is as lazy and unremarkable as CTAs get.
- Numerous outbound links, including the LinkedIn logo and social media buttons, provide way too many options for visitors to abandon the page without converting first.
- The headline doesn’t convey a clear benefit. It also uses jargon, who exactly are “sophisticated marketers?”
16. Forrester Research
What they did well:
- CTA button color contrasts with the white background, making the button more visible to visitors.
- Image of the report is relevant to the offer, and gives visitors a sneak peek into what the report will entail. However, the image could be larger.
What to A/B test:
- The hyperlinked logo gives visitors a chance to exit the page without downloading the report.
- The form is too long for a free report landing page. Plus, all form fields are required, which adds friction to the page.
- The copy is written from the company’s perspective, using the pronoun ‘our’. The copy should be replaced with customer-centric copy describing why the report is beneficial for visitors.
17. Microsoft
What they did well:
- The copy is benefit-oriented, and separated into bite-size chunks for easy reading.
- Bullet points offer a skimmable preview of the content of the ebook.
- Text above the form lets the visitor know exactly what they need to do to convert.
What to A/B test:
- This logo, linked to the homepage, has the potential to draw users away from the page before they have a chance to click its CTA button.
- The headline, “Intelligent Security: Using Machine Learning to Help Detect Advanced Cyber Attacks,” doesn’t communicate a clear benefit. It could, though, with the words “How To” preceding it. “Intelligent Security: How To Use…”
- This CTA button color could be changed to call more attention.
- Vanishing gray labels within form fields have the potential to annoy and confuse prospects, research shows.
18. GEICO
What they did well:
- A non-hyperlinked logo won’t allow visitors to leave the page.
- An extremely short, one-field form only asks for zip code and collects more information later in the process.
- The CTA button copy is tailored to the offer.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract prospects from converting with links to other pages or social accounts.
What to A/B test:
- The headline “See how much brighter your day could get,” doesn’t convey a tangible benefit. However, we all know GEICO well enough to know their tagline “15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance,” to the point that branding fills in the gaps for us.
19. PayPal
What they did well:
- The word “Free” emphasizes the no-cost nature of the offer.
- A blue CTA button pops off the page.
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of the offer.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer, showing visitors what they’ll get after converting.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract prospects from converting with links to other pages or social accounts.
What to A/B test:
- The CTA “Download Now” isn’t as tailored to the offer as it could be.
- The image text isn’t readable.
- The logo is linked to the homepage, allowing prospects to leave the landing page without converting.
20. Jeff Bullas
What they did well:
- The headline and subheadline communicate a clear benefit.
- The CTA button color draws prospects' attention.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer, showing visitors what they’ll get after converting.
What to A/B test:
- The testimonial is from Jeff Bullas, and not one of his satisfied customers. Testimonials are great, but this one comes across as self-promotional. If the quote was from a marketing influencer who used Jeff’s blogging secrets to improve their own campaigns, the testimonial would add even more value.
21. Alexa
What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- The CTA button color draws prospects' attention.
- The copy is separated into digestible chunks for easy reading.
- A non-hyperlinked logo doesn’t allow prospects to escape the page through it.
- Three cooperative CTAs work together to convert prospects in different locations on the page.
- The Amazon logo aligns Alexa with a powerful, well-known brand.
- Features of the product are emphasized, which is usually a no-no, but so are their respective benefits.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract prospects from converting with links to other pages or social accounts.
- The text “Get started in less than 10 minutes” emphasizes an instant solution, which we as an impatient collective are all drawn to.
What to A/B test:
- More white space would allow each landing page element to “breathe” more and draw even more attention to the CTA.
22. HubSpot
What they did well:
- Short paragraphs and bulleted copy make this page easy to get through.
- The CTA button color attracts prospects' attention.
- Multiple CTAs work together to convince prospects to convert.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer, showing visitors what they’ll get after converting.
What to A/B test:
- The CTA “Continue” could be more compelling.
- The social media buttons give people an exit point on the landing page.
23. Microsoft
What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of the offer.
- The word “Now” in the CTA takes advantage of our desire for instant gratification.
What to A/B test:
- The verbosity of this page could be reduced.
- The CTA button copy could be personalized to match the offer.
24. WordStream
What they did well:
- The headline is creative, potentially offering a little-known secret solution different from the norm.
- The fallen chess piece serves as a visual aid, pointing toward the CTA button.
- The CTA button color draws prospects' attention.
- The copy teases the content of the guide.
- The word “free” capitalizes on our desire to get something for nothing.
What to A/B test:
- Social media links in the footer can potentially drive prospects off the page before they can convert.
- The form color is the same color as the headline and a portion of the copy. It doesn’t stand out as much as it could from the rest of the page.
25. Sujan Patel
What they did well:
- The CTA is written in first person.
- A testimonial from a happy customer strengthens the credibility of this offer.
- The “name a fair price” field lets people select how much they want to pay. We would be curious to find the data on what dollar amounts visitors have agreed to pay Sujan Patel...
What to A/B test:
- The image doesn’t add anything to the offer.
- The language select field is great but it only translates the email and navigation links, the name your price field, and the CTA copy. If you can’t read English, how else are you supposed to be persuaded by the testimonial and ultimately purchase the ebook?
26. Hired
What they did well:
- The headline “Reach 4,000 Companies At Once” conveys a clear benefit.
- The green CTA button pops on the white form.
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of the offer.
- A short form makes signing up easy.
- The “Free” nature of the service is emphasized in the subheadline.
- The salary range noted in the subheadline is above average, even on the low end.
What to A/B test:
- A navigation menu and a hyperlinked logo let prospects leave the page way too easily.
27. Birst
What this page does well:
- The first line of text relates to the page’s visitors by asking them a question they’ll likely answer “yes” to.
- Bulleted copy gives visitors an idea of what they’ll learn by reading the report.
- The CTA button color stands out against a white background.
- The word “now” in the CTA takes advantage of visitors’ desire for instant gratification. If you click the button, you get to read the report immediately.
What to A/B test:
- The headline here could be stronger. Birst misses the opportunity to use an authoritative company’s praise as a social proof headline. “See Why Gartner Rated Birst As One Of The Best BI Platforms On The Market.” Remember -- you can describe your product as the “best” if someone else said it about you, but you can’t say it about yourself.
- The fine print here should go. If you actually take the time to read it, you realize that there’s nothing fishy going on here. But the problem is, not everyone will. They’ll see fine print and assume there’s a catch to this. Leave it italicized and make it bigger so visitors can read it. Birst has nothing to hide here.
- Light-gray labels within each form field have the potential to frustrate visitors when they disappear.
28. Domo
What they did well:
- Testimonials from happy customers serve as social proof.
- The CTA button color pops off the page.
- The CTA button color draws prospects' attention.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract prospects from converting with links to other pages or social accounts.
What to A/B test:
- The headline doesn't convey a clear benefit at all.
- The CTA button could be much bigger to draw more attention as the most important element on the page.
29. Salesforce
What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- Minimal text makes this page a breeze to get through.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer, showing visitors what they’ll get after converting.
- Security badges let prospects know their information is safe.
- The word “Now” in the CTA capitalizes on our desire for instant gratification.
What to A/B test:
- This CTA is really easy to miss, as it’s only a slightly different shade as the form it’s on.
- A busy footer, complete with a sitemap and social buttons, allows prospects to leave the page without converting.
- The CTA button copy should be changed to something more personalized.
30. Indeed Crowd
What they did well:
- The headline conveys a clear benefit to the visitor: get paid for referring a candidate that gets hired.
- Minimal, skimmable text makes getting through this page easy.

- The copy emphasizes flexibility and ease of use. Registrants can make extra money whenever they want.
- A screenshot showing four-digit rewards for referring prospects entices them to convert.
- A one-field form makes converting simple for the prospect.
What to A/B test:
- The blue CTA button at the top of the page doesn’t draw as much attention as it could.
- The copy is center-aligned (breaking the left margin) instead of the traditional left-alignment, which makes it more difficult to read than it needs to be.
31. Upwork
What they did well:
- The how-to headline emphasizes that by registering, the visitor will get the benefit of learning how enterprises are using online talent.
- The big Upwork logo lets prospects know they’re taking tips from a big brand.

- An 8-field form may intimidate people into abandoning the page.
- The CTA button color doesn’t stand out against a page that already uses a lot of purple.

What they did well:
- The headline offers up a valuable resource.
- This CTA button color contrasts the form it’s on well.
- The image serves as a visual representation of the offer.

What they did well:
- The headline communicates a clear benefit.
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of converting.
- The CTA button color pops on this page’s background.
What to A/B test:

- The long form might scare prospects off this page before they convert.
34. Dreamforce
What they did well:
- Bulleted copy quickly communicates the benefits of converting.
- The CTA button color pops on this page’s background.

37. Marketo
What they did well:
- This CTA button color contrasts the rest of the page well.
- A minimalistic footer doesn’t distract from the offer.
What to A/B test:

What they did well:

- The text gives a preview into the content of the ebook.
What to A/B test:
- This headline doesn’t convey a benefit at all.
- Two combating calls to action detract from the conversion rate of each other.

43. Villanova University

- The progress bar shows which step the visitor is currently on, and how many total steps are included in the conversion process.
- Authority badges tout the accolades of the program.
- Bulleted copy quickly convey the benefits of signing up.
What to A/B test:
- The image doesn’t really convey the benefits of Villanova’s online MBA program.

- Bulleted copy explains the benefits of downloading the e-zine.

- Links to privacy policies and trademarks are included as a resource for curious prospects, but they’re also dull in color so as not to steal attention from more important page elements.
What to A/B test:
- Two hyperlinked logos in the header, and one in the footer, draw users to the homepage before they have a chance to convert.
- Light-gray labels within the form fields have the potential to confuse and frustrate prospects, research shows.

- The content relates to the reader.

What they did well:
- The headline offers a valuable, free resource.

49. Percolate
What they did well:

- Bite-sized content makes reading this page easier than if it were covered in block text.
- Screenshots from inside Percolate give visitors an idea of how it works.
What to A/B test:
- Numerous links in the header and footer serve as exits from the page, allowing prospects to leave before they convert.
- The subheadline claims that Percolate is the world’s #1 content marketing platform, but where’s the proof? Phrases like this do the opposite of what’s intended. Think about it — how many times have you seen “World’s Best Cup of Coffee” written on the outside of a café? And how many times have you believed it?
- These testimonials are given by nameless customers. Without names and titles or photos, they’re less credible to readers. Visitors have to decide whether they believe these were written by Percolate customers, or by the Percolate team themselves.
50. SAP
What they did well:
- No navigation means no visible way off the page.
- Links on the page might have you thinking they direct the prospect elsewhere, but really they just bring you to the bottom of the page to the form.
What to A/B test:
- The image has nothing to do with the offer, and it doesn’t strengthen it whatsoever.
- This headline isn’t benefit-oriented. Why should the visitor download it?

What they did well:
- The headline and subheadline together convey the benefit of converting.

What to A/B test:
- The CTA button is blue with Facebook branding, so the rest of the page might benefit from a color update that isn’t the same as the button. The result will be better contrast between the button and the page.

56. Nutanix
What they did well:

What to A/B test:
- This headline is too egocentric. It doesn’t convey a benefit to the visitor whatsoever.

What to A/B test:
- The CTA “Download” is almost as boring as “Submit.” Why not “Send me my plan”?

What to A/B test:
- The button copy “submit” doesn't get the reader excited about converting.

- All form fields are required, which could cause visitors to pause and not download the ebook. We understand if name and email are required, but is organization and phone number truly necessary for Vantiv to send visitors the ebook?
63. Urban Airship

What to A/B test:

- The phone number in the upper-right of the page allows people to contact the business without leaving the page.
- The offer is an “ultimate list,” with 114 niche ideas. A list of 20 is good. A list of 50 is better. 114 sounds even more valuable to the reader.
- The question “Looking for a membership site niche idea?” directly addresses the reader.
- Bulleted copy stresses the benefits of converting.
- Multiple CTA buttons work together to convert the prospect.
- Text on the form lets people know where the link is going, and how long it should take for it to get there.
- The CTA button under the form is written in first-person.
- The two-field form makes converting a breeze for visitors.
- A link in the footer drives prospects to the site’s homepage.
- The phone number is not click-to-call, which makes contacting the company more difficult than it needs to be.
- The exit pop-up is the same offer as the landing page offer. If someone was abandoning your page because they decided they didn’t want to claim your offer, why would you offer them the same content as a last-ditch attempt at getting their email address?
- The question headline engages the reader.
- The copy promises to reveal a secret.
- This CTA button color contrasts the rest of the page well.
- The call-to-action is written in the first person.
- The blurred image looks unnecessary. Instead of giving space to an image that doesn’t show visitors anything it would’ve been much better if they added more copy and wrote more about their targeting framework.
- The headline conveys a strong benefit, and uses the word “Free.”
- Bulleted copy emphasizes the quick and easy benefits of claiming the offer.
- The CTA button color pops on the form background.
- This explainer video quickly describes the service in plain language.
- The CTA capitalizes on our inherent desire to get something for nothing by using the word “Free.”
- Contact information gives prospects a way to get in touch with company representatives if they have questions about the offer.
- The first line of copy talks about ‘a recent news report’, but doesn’t mention the date so visitors don’t know how recent it is. Sure, there’s a link at the bottom of the form, but it would be better if they clarified things and added a date.
- The CTA button is easy to spot.
- A three-field form makes converting easy.
- The headline emphasizes the free offer.
- The all-caps headline and CTA read like they’re yelling at the prospect.
- This page is simple. Too simple. What’s in the book? Why should we download it?
- This video isn’t too long, but it’s also not too interesting either. Two minutes of writing? That totally defeats the purpose of creating a video.
- A link to the author’s Facebook page drives prospects away before they have a chance to convert.
