specific product or service
● Establish contact points to
create as many “leads” or
“prospects” for your business
as you can

address, phone number,
company size, etc

Make sure your overall design is clear and understandable to everyone:
➔ Harmonize your theme’s colors
➔ Clearly differentiate the “titles” of your paragraphs
➔ Play with shapes and symmetry
➔ Remember to let your text breathe to make it easy to read
Attention to your design

A strong call to action
Examples include:
• Subscribe to a newsletter (email)
• A registration form (personal details)
• Free trial (personal and bank details)
Call-to-action must be given as an
authoritative command, alluding to a sense
of urgency
The call-to-action is an element of your lead generation landing page which
aims to trigger an action
12. Join Our Invite Only Pre-Launch

A/B test your forms
Gather website performance data by showing different versions of a
webpage to visitors
A/B test examples for lead generation:
• Test the length of sign-up forms
• Try a special offer, discount, or promotion to
increase signups
• Try asking for different information in your
form fields
Pro Tip to Consider!
Do you need more new leads, or more high
quality leads?
➔ the length of your form inevitably determines
a tradeoff between the quantity and quality
of the leads you generate. A/B test it!

Heat mapping
• Use of color to show what
elements or areas are most
clicked
Session recording
• Records all your users’
actions as video
13
Understand how your users behave
Example of heat mapping
Several tools exist to help understand how visitors behave on your landing
page
Know what is preventing your
visitors from converting: track
clicks, mouse movements, how
they interact with your forms

• Create a deadline (fictitious or real) = urgency and rarity to improve
conversions
• Make your visitors decide more quickly while they discover your services or
products
Create limited offers
a/b test limited
offers to see if
conversion metrics
increase

Crafting a high-converting landing page also comes with limitations:
• High Cost: Landing pages costs can quickly add up (monthly
payments, upkeep and various plugins). Plus, some tools / plugins
can be costly, too
• Long Time: Designing and deploying landing pages takes time
and developmental efforts
• 5 Seconds rule: Landing pages should open within 2-3 seconds.
Anything longer than 5 seconds, you risk your visitor leaving to
another page
• Mobile friendly: a mobile landing page has to be developed and
optimised separately

Chatbots are gaining more attention in the field
of marketing
The stats predict that by the end of 2020 about
80% of business will adopt chatbot to increase
their business revenue (link)
Let’s look at some best practices of chatbots in
comparison to what was learned above about lead
generation landing pages:
➔ Don’t forget to personalize
➔ Catchy opt-in message (call to action)
➔ A/B test your chats (quick customization)
➔ Use your data to analyse & optimize
Beneficial features of Messenger Bots

Don’t forget to personalize
1. Make your users feel as if they are
chatting to a real person
2. Give them feedback at each step of the
conversation to motivate them
3. Make sure to personalise messages using
their names
18
A good chatbot should be designed and likeable just like your brand -
give it character!
Resound with your brand image and keep dialect and tone consistent. Similar to
landing pages, make your text informative and easy to read

Catchy opt-in message (call to action)
To increase engagement, your opt-in
should be relevant to the Ad and motivates
your user to perform a specific action
The moment a user clicks on your opt-in
message they are an immediate subscriber
An opt-in message (aka “Welcome Message”) will be shown on Messenger,
when a user clicks on the ad
Important to note! : If your user does not opt-in on the Messenger, the bot
flow will not be activated
20. Join Our Invite Only Pre-Launch

A/B test your chats (quick customization)
• Quickly test and immediately optimize various creatives, ad messages, call to
actions and welcome messages
• Use similar techniques used for landing pages: try special offers as an
incentive, different sign-up form lengths or as different questions

content

Messenger bots = landing page + email
• Use Messenger bots as the landing page, to
qualify and acquire your leads on the chat
• Use Messenger as the email: you can get back
to the users on the chat. Potentially you do not
need to ask for emails anymore!
• The full name of a user is indeed visible on your
page inbox and you can reply, manually or
through automated workflows

Messenger bots collect partial data
• Every conversation started can be saved and visualised in the Facebook
page inbox
• As a consequence, you can collect partial data of users that have not
replied to all the questions, you can optimise accordingly or retarget them
