Landing Page Optimisation 3 - 4
Even if you have the highest ranked search results this can all mean nothing if the visitors you attract leave your site
quickly after arriving, without looking closely at your products or pages. Landing page optimisation is a vital way of
ensuring visitors can be enticed to stay and shop. It is no longer enough to show content that matches the
keywords the visitor used when they found your site; these days, you need to try harder as described below.
On average, a visitor to your website will spend a maximum of 10-20 seconds (probably less) on any one page. So
first impressions are often the only impressions. When you review and assess the effectiveness of your landing pages
or key site pages you might want to consider the following:
What is the first thing you see? Remember in most cases this is the only thing most visitors will see.
Is there any information you couldnt absorb in 10 seconds? In that case does it need to be there?
Is there a visible sign of your websites security? Consumers are looking for signs of credibility, such as the Thawte
Is there an obvious and easy call-to-action visible without the need to scroll down the page?
Are you asking the right type of questions on your site? If you dont ask, you dont get.
What is your loading speed like? Google has found that people will visit a website less often if it is slower than a
close competitor by more than 250 milliseconds. Thats less than the blink of an eye. So keep your page simple
reduce the amount of form-filling on phones (this also in most cases stops people abandoning).
Proof point: Dominos Pizza achieves 13% of all digital sales through mobile devices
(source http://econsultancy.com/blog/10604-pizza-hut-takes-aim-at-domino-s-with-new-mobile-site ).
Dominos have invested in a mobile specific site and app; but optimising for mobile is quite often enough without a
huge additional investment.
Have you ever not purchased something because you did not recognise any of the trust logos?

Trustworthiness
of the site
Well-known companies and brands have an advantage when it comes to the perceived
reliability and security of their websites. But most website operators are small and
medium-sized enterprise which have to win that trust through hard work. One means
of reassuring website visitors is to make effective use of trust logos issued by widely
recognised organisations to show that the site meets the standards required to receive
the mark. Websites that use the Thawte SSL Certificates can display the Thawte Trusted
Site Seal for free on their site. Visitors can click on the seal to ensure that Thawte has
authenticated and validated that the website operator is an actual existing entity, thus
making the site more trustworthy.

Displaying the Thawte Trusted Site Seal is not simply a case of posting an
image on your site. The mark has been developed to prevent unauthorised
copying. Clicking the seal brings up the authentication data of the website,
which was verified when the certificate was purchased and is subsequently
provided by the verification page that appears.
This information is included in the SSL certificate that we issue. This
enables you to check the site's validity yourself. Always check a site's
certificate before entering any sensitive information. Below are the details

An Extended Validation SSL Certificate is also an effective way to improve conversion rates; by displaying the name of
the authenticated company or organisation in a special section of the address bar shown in green a website visitor can
tell immediately that this site is trustworthy and secure. EV SSL Certificates are issued only to websites that undergo a
more stringent authentication process than that of a regular SSL certificate, and indicates that the site offers a higher
level of security. When visiting an EV SSL secured webpage in your browser, part of the address bar turns green, which
serves as a visual reminder of the trustworthiness of the site. Moreover, the padlock icon and display of the authenticated
companys name further add to the visual reinforcement of the sites security.
When optimising your site to attract greater visitor numbers and improve your conversion rate, designing your site to be
secure is an effective way of enhancing your optimisation measures. For instance, using a well-known trust logo and EV
SSL can make your site seem more trustworthy and secure. Displaying trust logos and maintaining solid security in your
website increase the likelihood that first-time visitors to your site will perceive your site as trustworthy and come back
time and time again. And when viewed over the long term, the difference can be huge.
