Landing Page Checklist
A checklist filled with key questions and elements to consider when creating landing pages in HubSpot.
On the main edit page
- Does the internal name use the proper naming convention?
- Does the page title include relevant keywords and the company name (usually at the end)?
- Is the page URL short, sensible and does it contain relevant keywords?
- Is the form title short so that the title doesn't spill over two lines?
- Have you picked the right form (ideally use a smart form but without too many fields)?
- Does the form have a sensible action button (NOT 'Submit')
- Have you set up a redirect to a TY page?
- Test the redirect URL
- Have you added form submission notifications? Are they the right people?
- Have you added a suitable workflow? Note that the workflow first step should normally send the confirmation email.
- On the options tab, did you pick a campaign?
- On the options tab, did you enter a keyword-optimized meta description?
- Pictures and text
- Are there keyword-optimized Alt tags for all the images?
- Are images stored in the correct folder in HubSpot?
- Do images have keyword-optimized file names?
- Have you proofread the text on the form?
- Did you print it out and do the proofreading again? Really?
- Is there a compelling headline and subheading?
- When adding images, did you use the correct domain on the image chooser? (usually info.domain.com)
Completion and testing
- Preview the page using all the different formats - does it make sense on a mobile/tablet?
- Did you click 'Update' so that changes are actually saved?
- Test the form in an anonymous browser window for that box-fresh experience.
- Did you get the email?
- Did you get the TY page?
