Introducing a landing page to your team without resistance
The technical part of a landing page is rarely the problem. What actually causes implementations to fail lies with the people who are supposed to work with it — and that can be addressed beforehand.
Resistance to a landing page is almost never directed at the technology, but at anticipated extra work or the fear of being replaced. Anyone who performs the affected workflow daily should be asked before implementation, not informed afterwards — and nothing should be introduced that requires additional data entry.
01 — Team
How to get the team on board
- Involve early, don't just inform early. Whoever handles the process daily knows where the exceptions are. This information only exists beforehand, not after go-live.
- Take resistance seriously. It's almost never directed at technology, but at extra work or the fear of being replaced. Both need to be addressed openly.
- Don't introduce anything that creates extra work. Systems that require additional data entry will be circumvented — and rightly so.
- Designate one person as the first point of contact. Not as ownership, but so questions don't fall through the cracks.
- Make success visible. If after four weeks no one knows whether it delivered results, what sticks is the memory of the disruption, not the benefit.
02 — Participation
What we need from you
- A contact person who can make decisions — not just forward them.
- Access to the affected systems, in time and not on launch day.
- Real examples from daily business — the messier, the more useful for testing.
- Two to four hours for coordination, distributed over the project duration.
- An answer to the question of what success means. Without it, nothing can be assessed afterward.
03 — Measurement
How you measure success
- Define the one number beforehand. Without a baseline value, nothing can be proven afterward. Two weeks of tracking is enough for a reliable reference point.
- Processing time per case. The most direct metric: How long does the affected process take today, how long afterward.
- Percentage of cases that complete without intervention. This ratio typically rises significantly in the first weeks when refinements are made — it's the best early indicator.
- External response time. How quickly does someone who inquires receive an initial binding answer.
- What you should not measure: Team satisfaction in the first two weeks. Every transition feels worse initially than it actually is.
04 — Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you also run the ads for it?
That's a separate service that we also offer. Landing page and ad should match in content, but technically they are two separate work steps.
Does the landing page have to match the website?
Visually yes, structurally no. It may be significantly leaner — often without main navigation, so there's only one way forward.
Can the same landing page be used for multiple ads?
Yes, as long as the promise of the ads aligns. If the offers differ significantly, each ad needs its own page — otherwise the expectation at the click doesn't match.
Why not simply advertise the homepage?
Because the homepage is there for everyone and therefore concrete for no one. Anyone who clicks on an ad about a specific topic expects exactly that topic — not a menu with eight options.
How many do we need?
One per offer and target group that is advertised separately. If you sell three services to two target groups, six make sense — provided each gets enough traffic to be assessable.
What if the landing page doesn't convert?
Then we look at the drop-off points before we rebuild anything. Usually it's a single section, not the whole page — you find it through measurement, not guessing.
When can you evaluate a test?
As a rule of thumb, a variant test needs several hundred visitors per variant and at least 25 to 30 conversions, otherwise you're measuring chance. With small numbers, it's more honest to decide based on arguments rather than pseudo-statistics.
