Sales Outreach Landing Pages: Best Practices Checklist

Sales outreach landing pages are designed to turn visitors into leads, especially in B2B marketing. Here’s what you need to know to make them effective:

  • Personalization Matters: Dynamic content, custom URLs, and industry-specific visuals can increase engagement and conversions. Personalized CTAs perform 202% better than generic ones.
  • Strong CTAs: Use a single, clear call-to-action (CTA) with action-driven text and standout colors. Pages with one CTA perform 371% better.
  • Mobile Optimization: With 83% of visits on mobile, ensure fast load times, single-column layouts, and easy-to-use forms.
  • AI Tools: Use AI for personalized content, real-time testing, and performance improvements.
  • Track Performance: Monitor metrics like conversion rates, bounce rates, and page load speed to make data-driven adjustments.

Adding Personal Touch to Landing Pages

Personalizing your landing pages is more than just a nice touch - it's what your audience expects. In fact, 71% of consumers anticipate personalized interactions [2]. Here’s how you can make your landing pages feel tailored and relevant:

Using Dynamic Content Elements

Dynamic content changes based on visitor data, like profile details and engagement history [1]. This approach ensures that each visitor sees messaging that feels tailored to them. For instance, GenPage offers custom variables that let you insert details such as company names, company branding, industry-specific challenges, or personalized offers directly into your landing page.

Here’s an example: A manufacturing prospect might see content focused on improving production efficiency, while a retail prospect could encounter messaging about better inventory management. This kind of customization makes your landing pages feel directly relevant to each visitor.

Building Custom URLs

Custom URLs do more than just look professional - they improve tracking and make the user experience feel more relevant [4]. Here’s a breakdown of how different URL types can work for you:

Customized URL Examples - GenPages supports all three types!

To make the most of your URLs, include relevant keywords, use UTM parameters for tracking, and avoid special characters to ensure compatibility [3].

Selecting Industry-Specific Images

Forget generic stock photos - they don't resonate anymore. Your visuals should reflect your audience’s industry and the challenges they face [5]. Successful B2B platforms often use real interface examples and contextual visuals that show exactly how their tools solve industry-specific problems.

Here are some visual elements to consider:

  • Product screenshots that highlight key features
  • Interface previews customized for specific industries
  • Demos that address industry-related challenges

These visuals help prospects quickly grasp how your solution fits their needs, boosting both engagement and conversions [6].

Building Strong Call-to-Action Buttons

The CTA button is the engine of conversions on your sales outreach landing pages. Research shows that optimizing your CTA can boost sales by over 35% [11].

Using One Main CTA

Using a single CTA keeps things simple and effective. Pages with one clear CTA perform 371% better than those with multiple options [8]. A focused CTA eliminates confusion and guides visitors toward taking action.

Place your CTA above the fold where it’s easy to spot, and add directional cues to make it even clearer [13]. Keep the text short and to the point for better results.

Writing Action-Driven Button Text

Strong CTA text follows these proven guidelines:

CTA Types & Conversion Rates

"I've found that direct CTA copy tends to perform better than lengthier CTA copy. Succinctly pitching the value of what you're linking out to on a page amid verbose copy and distractions can act as an unambiguous directive on what readers should do once on the page." - AJ Beltis, Senior Content Marketing Manager, HubSpot [10]

Picking Button Colors That Stand Out

Color plays a major role in how your CTA performs. In fact, color can improve brand recognition by up to 80% [12]. The goal is to make your button stand out while still aligning with your brand’s design.

Here are some tips for choosing the right colors:

  • Use complementary colors for strong contrast [11]
  • Stick to consistent CTA colors for better recognition [11]
  • Experiment with different color combinations to find what works best

For example, HubSpot tested red and green CTA buttons and found that red outperformed green by 21% [11]. In GenPage, you can choose to select your own colors for your CTAs, or dynamically change the color based on your prospect's brand colors.

Making Pages Work on Mobile

With mobile devices accounting for 60% of e-commerce sales, ensuring your site works well on mobile is a must. If a website takes too long to load, 53% of users will leave within three seconds [19]. That’s why mobile optimization plays a key role in increasing conversions on landing pages.

Building Device-Friendly Layouts

A simple, single-column layout is best for mobile viewing [14]. Here’s what makes a mobile-friendly layout effective:

Mobile-Friendly Layout Best Practices

"Everything works differently on mobile, so marketers need to make sure any elements of their websites are always optimized for mobile", explains Lilach Bullock, Award-winning Marketing Influencer and Strategist [16].

GenPage automatically creates a dynamic, mobile-friendly version of your landing pages - so no need to worry about doing this manually.

Streamlining forms and menus is another way to improve the mobile experience:

Making Forms and Menus Mobile-Ready

Keep forms short and simple - stick to 1–3 fields per page [17]. For longer forms, break them into smaller steps to avoid overwhelming users.

When it comes to menus, these tips can help:

  • Use collapsible "hamburger" menus to save space [18]
  • Include sticky headers for easier navigation [14]
  • Add a clear search function to help users find what they need quickly [14]
  • Place labels above form fields instead of beside them for better readability [17]

Improving Page Load Speed

Page speed is just as important as layout and navigation. If your site takes more than three seconds to load, 40% of users will leave [14]. Here are some ways to make your mobile pages load faster:

  1. Image Optimization
    Compress and resize images using formats like WebP for quicker loading [19].
  2. Code Efficiency
    Reduce HTTP requests and compress your code using Gzip [19].
  3. Content Delivery
    Use lazy loading for images and videos that aren’t immediately visible [21].

"When optimizing your mobile website load and performance optimization, the goal should always be to consider the worst-case loading scenario on mobile devices, over any other performance metric." – Mailchimp [20]

Using AI Tools to Increase Results

AI tools today can analyze user behavior, automate testing, and tweak content in real time to improve conversions. These tools are paving the way for more accurate, AI-driven content strategies.

Creating AI-Written Custom Content

Running AI-Powered Tests

AI-driven tools can test multiple variables at once, such as:

  • Trying out different combinations of headlines, images, and CTAs.
  • Directing traffic to the best-performing page versions.
  • Using machine learning to predict which variant will succeed.

Tracking and Improving Results

Landing pages need constant monitoring and tweaks based on data to perform at their best. With GenPage, you can either use our native analytics, or integrate with the tool of your choice, such as GA4 or HotJar.

Installing Conversion Tracking

To identify what’s working, focus on these key metrics:

Landing Page Metrics to Track

Track 5–8 key metrics for a clear picture of your landing page’s performance. Tools like heat maps can also help you understand how users interact with your page.

Using Heat Maps

Heat maps simplify user behavior data into visual insights. They show you where visitors click, how far they scroll, and where they spend the most time. This makes it easier to spot areas that need improvement.

For example, Celerity India Marketing Services used heat maps and A/B testing to help a client achieve four times their ROI in just two months [28]. They focused on:

  • Click patterns on CTAs
  • Scroll depth to gauge engagement
  • High-attention areas
  • Points where users faced friction

"Heat maps are valuable tools for analyzing the performance of your landing pages by providing visual insights into user behavior." - Dinesh Prasad, Digital Marketing Specialist

By pairing heat map insights with detailed performance data, you can fine-tune your landing pages for better results.

Checking Performance Data

Keep an eye on these performance areas:

  • Device Performance: Test your landing pages on the most popular browsers and operating systems your audience uses [30].
  • Geographic Analysis: Use location data to adjust ad spending and customize content [30].
  • Content Effectiveness: Analyze scroll depth to determine the ideal page length [30].

Conclusion: Building Better Sales Landing Pages

Creating effective sales landing pages requires a personal touch, clear calls-to-action (CTAs), and ongoing improvements. With 83% of landing page visits happening on mobile devices [32], ensuring a smooth mobile experience is non-negotiable.
