First Step:Use a Dynamic Programming
Language• Increases flexibility
– Add keyword dynamically to title, etc.• Ease of multivariate testing
– Add or remove individual page elements for testing quickly
– Perform real-time tests• Quickly incorporate best performing elements into all
pages– Example: One form for all landing pages
• Track performance to keyword level
Landing Pages• Stay on targeted message• Keep information “above the fold” – avoid
scrolling• Pass keyword through URL to headline• Consider removing website navigation• Try to stick to one call to action, but
provide an “escape hatch” (ex: learn more)• MUST READ: MarketingSherpa Landing
Page Handbook
Multivariate and A/B Testing
• Incorporate analytics• Google Website Optimizer
– Doesn’t allow for changes (or additions) to a test– Not as simple as it appears on first glance
• If you know the HTML programming to make this work, you can likely just do dynamic programming, which is more flexible.
• What to test?– To truly make landing pages the most effective they can
be, you MUST continually test them against other versions– While one layout works for one ad group, company or
product, it may not work as well for another– Test page elements, page layouts, and messaging
Video and Landing Pages
Case Study 1:Video Offer vs. Whitepaper Offer

• Don’t set the video to “auto-play.”• Use the video as your “hero shot.”• Use video that delivers on your promise. • Ensure optimal load times. • Test various elements of the video
where possible. • Use Google Website Optimizer to
measure.
