Landing page optimization (LPO) is the process of improving elements on a website to increase conversions. It usually requires some A/B testing to get metrics moving in the right direction and most definitely can benefit from help from software. With many marketers spending a large chunk of budget on paid media, ensuring you have a landing page that is on point and converting is key and a great place to spend some budget.
