Story: Good landing page

In online marketing, a landing page, sometimes known as a “lead capture page”, “single property page”, “static page”, or a “destination page”, is a single web page that appears in response to clicking on a search engine optimized search result, marketing promotion, marketing email, or an online advertisement. Wikipedia

When I sometimes see good looks and a persuasive home page. It’s not exactly a landing page. There are many menus and buttons, but the home page incorporates persuasive content.

I would like to pick it up as good example, re-learn about sales funnel and note about basic contents for making a landing page in the future.

– Only hero section, heading + CTA

I clicked Google Ads and landed this 1 hero section page. I don’t know how much engagement this has, but this landing page is quite unique. No explanation for anything.

I don’t know what Lunchclub service is. Only 1 slide. This is the opposite of a persuasive landing page, but if it engages with a target audience, that’s okay. How did I find it? On LinkedIn Job!

Clear CTA on hero section. I can imagine the user’s emotions, why do I need to do it? A web designer also knows it. Therefore, the website says, Scroll down to learn why and how to use Flowcodes. Interface design could be improved. The structure is good.

A user thinks why I need to use it. What’s the AI? How does AI help me? I cannot remove a question, but visually good. If someone is facing an issue related to online communication, and it cannot solve by Zoom or Slack, Asona etc, they might consider dialpad.
