The hero section is the first thing visitors see and sets the tone for your landing page.

How to Customize: #

1. Click on the Hero Section in the editor.
2. Add a headline that grabs attention (e.g., “Get Your Free Guide Today!”).
3. Include a subheadline that explains the value of your offer (e.g., “Learn the top 10 tips for online marketing success”).

5. Upload a background image or video that aligns with your message.

Tip: #

• Keep the text clear and concise, and use a strong, action-oriented CTA.

Step 4: Add Key Content Sections #

Your landing page should include essential sections that support your main message and guide users toward the CTA.

Suggested Sections: #

1. Features/Benefits: Highlight the key features or benefits of your product or offer.
2. Testimonials/Reviews: Include customer testimonials or reviews to build trust.
3. Lead Capture Form: Add a form to collect user information (e.g., name, email address).
4. Call-to-Action Section: Reinforce the main CTA with a bold statement and button.

Using Website Builder: #

2. Customize each section with your own text, images, and links.
3. Click Save after editing each section.

Using WordPress: #

3. Click Update to save your changes.

Tip: #

• Keep the content focused and avoid adding unnecessary elements that may distract users.

Step 5: Optimize Your Landing Page for SEO #

To help search engines understand your landing page and improve its visibility, optimize it for SEO.

SEO Best Practices: #

1. Add a Meta Title and Meta Description using an SEO tool in hPanel or an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO in WordPress.
2. Include relevant keywords in your headings, text, and image alt tags (e.g., “Free Marketing Guide”).
3. Ensure your URL is short and descriptive (e.g., yourdomain.com/free-guide).

Tip: #

• Use tools like Google Keyword Planner to find popular search terms related to your offer.

Step 6: Remove Distractions #

A landing page should be focused and free of distractions. Consider removing the main navigation menu and footer to keep visitors on the page.

How to Hide Navigation: #

1. In Website Builder, go to Page Settings > Header & Footer.
2. Toggle the switch to Hide Navigation Menu.
3. Click Save.

In WordPress: #

1. Use a Landing Page Template that hides the navigation by default.
2. Alternatively, use custom CSS:cssCopy code.site-header { display: none; }

Tip: #

• Removing the navigation helps prevent users from leaving the page before converting.

Step 7: Publish and Test Your Landing Page #

After finalizing the content and layout, publish your landing page and test it to ensure everything works correctly.

How to Publish: #

1. Click Publish in the Website Builder or WordPress editor.
2. Confirm the changes and make the page live.

Testing Checklist: #

1. Check All Links: Verify that all buttons and links lead to the correct destination.
2. Test the Lead Capture Form: Submit a test entry to ensure the form works properly.
3. Check Mobile Responsiveness: Ensure the landing page looks good on both desktop and mobile devices.

Tip: #

• Use tools like Google Mobile-Friendly Test to check the responsiveness of your landing page.

Step 8: Monitor and Optimize Your Landing Page #

Track the performance of your landing page and make adjustments based on user behavior.

How to Monitor: #

1. Set up Google Analytics to track page views, bounce rate, and conversions.
2. Use Google Search Console to monitor search traffic and indexing status.
3. A/B test different elements (e.g., headlines, CTAs) to find the most effective version.

Tip: #

• Use heatmap tools like Hotjar to see where users click and how they interact with your page.
