Best Landing Pages for Lead Generation

Design principles and examples that maximize conversions

A great landing page can 10x your conversion rates. But even the best landing page only converts 2-5% of visitors. This guide covers landing page best practices AND how to capture leads from the 95%+ who don't convert.

High-Converting Landing Page Elements

The best landing pages share common elements that reduce friction and increase conversions.

  • Clear, benefit-focused headline above the fold
  • Single, focused call-to-action (CTA)
  • Social proof: testimonials, logos, statistics
  • Minimal navigation to reduce distractions
  • Fast load times and mobile optimization

Landing Page Types That Convert

Different offers require different landing page structures. Match your page type to your conversion goal.

  • Lead magnet pages - Offer valuable content for contact info
  • Demo request pages - For high-intent bottom-funnel visitors
  • Free trial pages - Reduce friction with no-commitment offers
  • Webinar registration - Capture leads with educational content
  • Pricing pages - Convert ready-to-buy visitors

Beyond Forms: Capturing Non-Converting Visitors

Even the best landing pages see 95%+ of visitors leave without converting. Smart teams use visitor identification to capture these lost leads.

  • Most visitors won't fill out forms, no matter how optimized
  • Visitor identification captures leads without requiring forms
  • Combine form data with identified visitor data for complete picture
  • Follow up with non-converters who showed high intent

Measuring Landing Page Performance

Track these metrics to optimize your landing pages over time.

  • Conversion rate - Percentage of visitors who complete your goal
  • Bounce rate - Percentage who leave without any action
  • Time on page - Indicator of engagement and interest
  • Scroll depth - How much of your page visitors see
  • Identified visitors - Leads captured without form submission
