Every single searchable page on the web is a
landing page. Every landing page has a purpose. What is that purpose?
1) You need to capture your reader's attention. You
should give them a reason to stick around, including addressing their needs,
wants, and relevancy in their lives.
2) You should give them a reason to stick around
and provide a solution, including a call-to-action. Your audience needs a
reason to do something, and you need to provide that.
A page becomes relevant to your SEO once it
becomes relevant to your visitor.
5 Web Pages That Need Your Attention
1) The homepage
is probably the first page your audience will see. The homepage needs to give
your audience an overview of your products and services. Your homepage should
be the "big picture" presentation as to why your audience should pick
you.
You can try to optimize the page if you are a
single company with one product. That should not be your main goal when your
company serves a lot of people. You need to stay relevant, and offering
something outside of your product range is not going to make you relevant.
Rankings only give you the chance for more clicks. You need something
more. Your visitors need a reason to dig deeper, or they will lose interest.
2) The about
us page is the next one you need to look at. Your audience will give your
"about us" page a look when they are ready to commit. The page needs
to hold enough influence to get them to commit.
Tailor some of your keywords to fit this page because those words will
help convince those who need convincing.
3) The contact
page serves just one purpose. You want your audience to contact you. You
need to make this page relevant enough for your them to want to get in touch
with you.
Will every person who goes to this page use your
services? Probably not. You still need to make it detailed enough to give them
a chance to respond, They may pass your information to a friend or family
member. They may use it themselves. they may throw it in the trash. You will
get some business out of it though.
Make this page engaging and easy for them to get
in touch with you. Your visitors landed on this page for a reason. Make it
worth their while.
4) The product detail pages. You should make these pages as informative and descriptive as
possible. The product detail page is one of the last stops a person makes
before they commit to buying.
Optimize these pages as best as you can. These
pages also help to convince those who need convincing, so make it count. Add
anything you may feel is relevant. One missing detail will cause one person to
choose another company.
5) The FAQ
section is important. This page helps to answer any questions that need
answering. You should not assume that your viewer already knows the
information. Keep this section reserved for questions that are pertinent. In
other words, do not throw in any irrelevant and useless data.
Some questions are common sense and do not need answering.
