Landing pages are the heart of the [lead conversion process](https://www.transitionalmarketing.com/inbound-methodology.html). Their sole purpose is to convert website visitors to leads. It promotes visitors to fill out a form with their information in order to get it. Landing pages work because they're based on a value exchange.

- Free Trial
- Free Download
- Register

## 2. Brief Description of the Offer

Explain the offer and it's value in 1-5 sentences. It's always good to start with a question that they may have and describe how the offer will help.

- Ask them a question(s)
- Explain the value proposition
- Include bullet points

## 3. Supporting Image or Video

Offers with images or videos have higher conversion rates. They can actually see what they will be getting. 

- Include at least one image or video
- Image/video should depict what the offer is
- Place above the fold

## 4. Form

Most importantly is the form to capture leads

- Form length to mirror the value of the offer
- All fields listed do not need to be required (\*)
- Use a descriptive word(s) for them to "submit" the form

## 5. Remove Navigation

There should be no menu or navigation links. No distractions to take them away from the offer. 

- Remove main website navigation menu - Home | About Us | Blog | Etc.
- Remove website footer navigation
- Remove company logo navigation to the home page if setup

## 6. Social Share

 Let visitors share the offer with their networks of contacts!
