Have you ever built an amazing landing page, drove targeted traffic to it, and then found that everything you’re doing, you’re just not getting any conversion? It sucks. You’ve put in all this time. You’ve put in all these resources. You just can’t get sales for the life of you. Today I’m going to share seven landing page flaws that’ll kill your conversions.

The first flaw is load time, and you’ve probably heard this before.
Speed matters.
The second flaw is generic landing pages.
And no, I don’t mean a generic landing page in which a landing page is selling all your services, or all your products. Yeah sure you already know that you need to get specific and only sell one product or one service.
But here’s what I mean by generic landing pages. Even if your selling one product or one service keep in mind, every single traffic source is different.
By adapting your landing page to the traffic source you’ll find that you use conversions a lot more. And the way that you do this is: put your mind inside the traffic source.
When you’re on Google you’re doing a search. You’re looking for solutions to your problem. You’re problem is typically whatever keyword you typed in on the search box. On Facebook, you’re browsing and looking at pictures of your friends.
The third flaw is: Distractions.
We’re in a world where there’s a lot of ADD, we have attention spans of less than a goldfish, which you guys already know now.
By being very specific with where you’re focusing a users attention, you’re going to be better off.
And this is important because a lot of people are also starting to do things like on their site, doing chat, they’re also doing popups, they’re also doing quizzes, so they have a landing page with all these things.
The fourth flaw is a visual disconnect.
If you have an ad that’s promising something, and you don’t deliver on that promise in the landing page, its not going to work.
The simplest example of this flaw is someone doing a Google search. If someone typed in ‘Apple MacBook’ and hypothetically you were bidding on that term and they went to your landing page, but you didn’t have the term ‘Apple MacBook’ on there, or you didn’t have a picture of an Apple MacBook, what do you think is going to happen?
You conversions are going to tank.
The fifth one, is a bad mobile experience.
Did you know that the majority of searches on Google now happen on over mobile phone?
That’s right, they’re not happening from the laptop, they’re not happening from a tablet, they’re happening from a mobile device. That thing that’s in your pocket 24/7.
It’s on you more than your laptop or a desktop computer is, hence, the more people use it for search.
The sixth flaw, is not addressing buyer concerns.
There could be, ‘Hey what if I don’t like this product or service, is there a money back guarantee? Is there a free trial?’
Assuming this is a software as a service company. ‘What do other people think about this product? Do you have reviews on those pages? How does a product or service look? Do you have video testimonials or case studies?’
All these things are objections and concerns, if you can answer them within your landing page, you’re more likely to convert.
If you don’t answer someones’ objections and concerns, what do you think is going to happen? They’re going to bounce away, they’re not going to convert.
If you’re not sure what people’s objections are, you can always use survey tools, like HotJar or SurveyMonkey, to figure out what people’s objections are or concerns are, and you can address them within your content.
Last but not least, number 7, you’re making the landing page too complicated.
What I mean by that is, I’m not talking about length, I’m not talking about, oh, do you have too many images or videos, I’m talking about the process.
If you’re a lead form, do you have 50 form fields? Well if you have 50 form fields, you’re going to lose most people. If you’re a checkout process for an eCommerce page, how may form fields do you really need?
All these things can make it more convenient for the user, if you make your landing pages more convenient, the chances are they’re going to convert more.
If you make it more complicated and harder for them, they’re less likely to convert.

Neil, thank you for the information that makes a great impact on digital marketing. You have saved me so much time in growing my business.
When creating landing pages for a specific audience, how concerned do I need to be about Googles duplication algorithms? How different does my page copy need to be? Will I lose page ranking? Thank you!!
Hey Neil, what is your favorite Landing Page software?
Thanks.
Neil, what software do you recommend for the IP location strategy ?
Neil, when you newly launch a website with a model with "users" and "paying customers" and of course you need users first to convince customers to pay, who do you focus on in the landing page: users or customers? Please, suggest. Thank you.
Is landing page suitable for all industries? What if you are a trading company selling snacks like oreo? How you design your landing page?
Neil patel is the man
I'm a Goldfish….Wahhhhh. WTF. Great work Neil.
Great Video Neil. Thank u for your effort!
What I wanted to know is how to use surveymonkey to get to know more about the objections are. Do I drive traffic to the survey where I am simply asking thinks lke "what is your concern when buying stocks " thank you!
Hi Neil,
To promote clickbank product, is the landing page required ? I mean the vendors already give all the details of the product which is to be promoted?
Neil—you're a freakin life saver. I love you, man. Thank you!
Great stuff Neil! Do you offer a service that evaluates current landing pages? I am consistently getting 5%-10% CTR from my AdWords, but conversions (phone call) are terrible. I'm thinking that the problem must be my landing pages.
can someone explain the forum fill and point 7 . thank you
Superb,👍
I loved the bit about 'for each second reduction in load time'. Sorry, but if your page takes a second, you need to do something, fast!
Cool landing page tutorial Neil. Thanks for this! Super helpful content again👍
Q1.) I created a landing page with 6 sections for a ecommerce product(section1:image & gif, section2: 3 image-based reviews, section3: features with benefits , section4: 7 text-based reviews, section5 : special bundle offer – 3 pricing offers , section6: FAQ – 9 questions and answers) . I did Google Search Ads with exact buyer intent keywords (there are search volume ) – exp: buyer intent kwd+ecommerce product and there are potential prospects to click the ads but no conversion. I thought since there are many different attributes of this product, i tried to find the buyer intent keyword with specific attribute product keyword . unfortunately i can't find it. I'm not sure maybe there is no much choice for prospect…i plan to create list of top 5 of these same kind of products with different attributes and drive traffic to this page…from neil patel mentioned that it is not good choice for general landing page. Q2.) Is there available neil patel online course?
Hey Neil, what if our landing page is actually one of our website's pages. How can we create separate landing pages based on the traffic source? Can you shed some light on this.
Very clear explanation. 👍🏻 Thanks
Great vid. So true that many checkout pages are just annoying. Super idea to have them auto fill. Cheers
Hi Neil! Great video, if an Australian based company wanted to use your agency services what kind of budget would we need?
Thx for sharing, Neil!
Flaw 6:
The FAQ section is amazing for answering buyers concerns!
We just list all possible objections there and answer them.
(Like a sales tool not like a page with technical descriptions)
Hi Neil, what Landing Page Builder you recommend? Thx in advance
Good bro and thanks 🙏
I'm surprised you suggested using hotjar which I though is the competition of crazyegg
Im small youtuber my dream is to have 100 subs 😭
