A landing page is a page where a user lands on after clicking an ad or a link in an email. It can make or break your campaign. It should be designed specifically to suit the type of campaign you are running. It should be vibrant and easy to navigate to make it easy for the visitor to find interesting content. It should have an impactful appeal to make the user want more. Making the visitor subscribe and become a lead.
Content defines much of what needs to be done. EngageBay provides a builder to make it easy for you to create the needed content. It also provides a highly functional platform to provide lead capturing and backend configurations for on-page SEO and tracking codes - as well as visitor monitoring system.
