FAQ

What is the most important element of a landing page?

The headline is the single most impactful element — it determines whether a visitor stays. It must immediately communicate the key benefit for the specific audience.

How long should a landing page be?

Short pages (300–500 words, single CTA) work for warm traffic; longer pages (1,000–2,000 words) with multiple CTAs work better for cold traffic needing more convincing.

What conversion rate should I expect from a landing page?

Industry average is 2–5% for general landing pages; optimised pages for warm audiences can achieve 10–20% or higher. Test, measure and iterate.
