Place Call-To-Actions Appropriately
Imagine having a perfectly structured landing page with no or irrelevant Call-To-Action buttons. How will the user be able to convert? He will surely leave the site if he didn’t find any relevant CTA placed in a subtle place.
A CTA button should be clearly displayed on a landing page, and the steps should be clear which a customer needs to follow to complete a purchase.
Few logical and common places to place CTA on a landing page are:
- Above the fold, as it will be the first place of interaction between the visitor and the landing page.
- On each fold of your landing page to ensure a CTA placed on every point of your website.
- Strong hand (right) side of your graphical content (banner/video).
- A floating CTA will be placed irrespective of viewers’ scrolling.
- In the end, so that an individual can go through the whole content and then make a decision
Also, decorating your CTA button with proper color and fonts makes it more appealing. To make the process simpler, Joomla page builders provide single-click functionality through which you can add CTA buttons or even a group of buttons just with a click and can customize them smoothly.
Add FAQs and Mark With FAQSchema
It’s better to clear the audience’s concerns on the landing page itself. You can compile the most general questions asked by your existing audience, and add a FAQ section at the bottom of your landing page. This will help the newer audience to tackle the same hurdles.
Just adding the FAQ section on the website is not enough. To get better visibility on SERP, it is important to mark them FAQ Schema.
To add the FAQ section and FAQ schema on your Joomla website, you can either use the JD Accordion Module or use the accordion element from JD Builder.
