How to get more leads from SEO landing pages (advice from conversion copywriter)

A couple of months ago we started creating landing pages to drive visitors that are looking for engineers in Google. For better rankings, we’ve created copy-heavy pages.

For example, this page perform well in search after just a few weeks

but conversion is low compared to other landing pages

Joanna Bain (Wiebe), a founder of Copy Hackers, gave great advice on the ways we can better convert visitors on that page.

• How to move visitors from solution aware to product aware by the end of the page. You need to give enough but not too much information to get them converted.

• “List, offer, copy” framework.

• How to hook readers at the very beginning. SEO copy doesn’t do that well.

• Instead of solving “Google problems,” we should reflect potential customer’s problems in the copy.

• The buttons don’t look like buttons. Make them clickable and add action words, like “hire” or “get.”

• Treat the top of the page copy as a separate landing page. Reframe it and make the target audience’s problem clearer.

• Don’t use banners.

• Don’t use multiple offers on the page. Optimize only for only one action you want the user to take.

• Add one more section where you talk only about your product.
