Building a landing page that not only captures the essence of your Android app but also converts visitors into users is easier said than done. According to HubSpot, the average bounce rate for most websites is anywhere from 26% to 70%, and that can climb further for landing pages, which are often the destination of paid ads on social media and pay-per-click.

But if you want to find success in the app development world, you’ll need one. Creating a landing page that stands out and effectively converts can turn casual browsers into committed users and help you build a brand worth shouting about. Here are some tips… 

Why’s a landing page so important? 

A landing page for your new app can serve as the digital front door for your app, setting the stage for user engagement and conversion. It’s the one chance users have to see your product away from the Google Play Store, so it has to look and feel like it’s going to solve a problem. A specialised web page for your app should be crafted with precision to achieve a singular goal, be it lead generation, app promotion, or sales. You only get one chance to make a good impression. 

Know your objective

Start with crystal clarity on your landing page's purpose. Whether boosting app downloads, generating leads, or selling products, a singular focus ensures that your call to action (CTA) resonates clearly with your audience. Why are people here and what should they do next? 

Know your audience

Understanding your target audience is also super important. Dive deep into their desires, challenges, and decision-making processes. This knowledge helps tailor your messaging and design to speak directly to their needs, increasing the likelihood of conversion.

Make copywriting count

The power of an impactful headline cannot be overstated. It's the first thing visitors see, setting the tone for their entire experience. Craft headlines and succinct subheadings that are compelling and benefit-focused, and ensure they immediately grasp your app's value.

Your copy should succinctly convey your app's benefits and unique selling points. Employ persuasive writing techniques to address potential user hesitations and highlight solutions.

Work with a designer

Embrace a design that's not only visually appealing but also intuitive. A well-structured layout, with strategic use of colours and images that align with your brand, can significantly enhance user experience and guide visitors towards your CTA. We recommend working with a web developer or building a new hub from landing page templates to maximise conversion.

Add a call to action

Your CTA should be bold, clear, and compelling. Ensure it stands out and communicates exactly what you want the visitor to do, making the conversion process as straightforward as possible. Download now. Save money. Join the club. Buttons like these convert well. 

Mobile-first

With mobile browsing at an all-time high, your page must deliver a flawless experience on any device. Responsive design ensures your page looks great and functions perfectly, regardless of screen size. Build apps for Android and iOS? Make sure you point people to the right App Store without them having to press lots of buttons or hit the wrong store.

Keep optimising

A good landing page is always evolving. Utilise A/B testing to experiment with various elements of your landing page. This data-driven approach allows you to refine and optimise based on what resonates best with your audience, ensuring you stand out from the crowd.
