ADVICE

Start With Listicle Landing Page

  • Start landing page testing with a simple listicle based on your best-performing ad headline.
  • Use 3-5 product benefits to justify the angle and end with a clear call to action.
ADVICE

Two-Step Funnel And Social Proof

  • Use a two-step funnel: a listicle page leading to a second offer page with consistent messaging.
  • Also, place authentic Facebook ad comment screenshots as social proof instead of polished testimonials.
ADVICE

Use URL Naming Conventions

  • Maintain strict URL naming conventions for landing pages to track and learn from tests easily.
  • Assign short codes for template type, version, product, and angle in URLs to cleanly identify page details.
