Do you want to learn how to build a Facebook landing page?

One of our readers recently asked if Facebook ads are a good way to generate new leads without the costs of traditional marketing. Our response is yes, but creating a great ad without the right landing page can leave you with wasted clicks, low conversion rates, and a poor return on your ad spend.

So in this article, we’ll show you how to create a Facebook landing page in WordPress step-by-step.

What Is a Facebook Landing Page?

A Facebook landing page, also known as a Meta landing page, is a dedicated page on your website that users land on after clicking a link in a Facebook post.

Similarly, Facebook ads landing pages are pages that people visit after they click through your pay-per-click (PPC) Facebook advertising campaign. These pages differ from others on your site as they complement your Facebook ads.

Typical pages provide information about your business. But a landing page made specifically for Facebook ads encourages Facebook users to sign up for or claim an offer designed just for them, like a free trial, lead magnet, or special offer.

Take this eCommerce landing page example that we found from Craftsy. Their Facebook ad campaign has a clear call-to-action button (CTA button) inviting users to click and learn more on their product page.

Clicking the button from the Facebook timeline took us to a dedicated page to learn more about the product or service and even claim a coupon.

Why Should I Make a Facebook Landing Page?

There are several reasons why you should make a dedicated Facebook landing page on your website instead of relying on your Facebook business page.

For one, your Facebook audience often requires more motivation to go from clicking an ad to making a purchase. These users are still discovering your business and need more information after clicking your ad.

Showing these users a landing page with focused information and consistent messaging is one of the best ways to kickstart lead generation and turn them into paying customers.

Here are a few other reasons why creating a landing page for Facebook is the best choice:

  • They’re less distracting than homepages which have lots of different information.
  • It’s easier for mobile browsers to get the details they need.
  • They’re highly focused, forcing people’s attention on your offer.
  • It’s simpler to evaluate the effectiveness of your content marketing campaigns.

Besides making a landing page for Facebook ads, you could also create a Facebook group landing page to entice users to join your community or, quite simply, to encourage your website visitors to check out your Facebook page.

Bottom line: Creating a landing page is one of the easiest ways we’ve found to convert Facebook users into leads and customers.

What Should I Include on My Facebook Landing Page?

Facebook landing pages are an excellent opportunity to make a great first impression on your visitors. Here are some things you should consider including on your page:

  • Strong and eye-catching images: Your images should be high-quality, visually appealing, and relevant to your brand or business.
  • A brief introduction: Write a short introduction to your brand or business. This should be concise and to the point, highlighting your unique selling points.
  • A call-to-action: Including a call-to-action on your landing page can help drive engagement and encourage visitors to take a specific action, such as signing up for your newsletter.
  • Links to your other social media profiles: If you have a presence on other social media platforms, consider including links to your profiles on those platforms on your landing page.
  • Information about your products or services: Use the space below your introduction to highlight your products or services and why they are valuable to your customers.
  • Contact information: Make it easy for visitors to get in touch with you by including your email address, phone number, or a link to your contact page.
  • Reviews and testimonials: If you have positive reviews or testimonials from customers, consider featuring them on your landing page to build trust and credibility with visitors.

Facebook Landing Page Size: Optimize for Success

When customizing your landing page for Facebook, it’s crucial to consider the size of various elements, especially images. The size of your images can impact how quickly your landing page loads, which in turn affects your conversion rates.

Ideal Image Sizes

  • Header Image: Aim for a header image that is around 1200 x 628 pixels. This size is optimized for both desktop and mobile views.
  • Product Images: For showcasing products or services, use images that are at least 800 x 800 pixels to ensure high quality.
  • Background Images: These should also be around 1200 x 800 pixels to maintain quality without slowing down your page load time.

Text and Buttons

  • Font Size: Keep your primary headlines between 30-40 pixels and sub-headlines between 20-30 pixels for readability.
  • CTA Buttons: Make sure they are large enough to be easily clickable but not so large that they distract from other content. A height of 50 pixels is generally effective.

According to Google, 53% of mobile users leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. Therefore, optimizing the size of your images and elements is crucial for keeping your audience engaged and converting.

Remember to save your changes periodically by clicking the green Save button in the top-right corner of your screen.

Step 4. Configure Your Landing Page Settings

Fortunately, integrating your email marketing provider with SeedProd is straightforward. Just click the Connect tab at the top of your screen.

Facebook Landing Page Rules

Facebook has specific guidelines or policies that all landing pages must adhere to for ad approval. These rules are designed to protect users from misleading or harmful content and to ensure that all ads are relevant and high-quality.

Some of the key rules for Facebook landing pages include:

  • The landing page must be relevant to the ad. This means that the content of the landing page must be consistent with the promises made in the ad.
  • The page must be functional and easy to use. The page must load quickly, be free of errors, and allow users to easily find the information they are looking for.
  • Your landing page must not contain any misleading or deceptive content, including false, misleading, or incomplete content.
  • The landing page must not contain any harmful or unsafe content, such as content that is illegal, violent, or harmful to children.
  • Your page must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

In addition to these general rules, there are also specific rules that apply to certain types of landing pages.

For example, landing pages that collect personal information must have a privacy policy that is clearly visible to users. Moreover, landing pages that promote financial products or services must also comply with additional regulations.

Facebook Landing Page FAQs

How do I create a Facebook landing page for free?

With the free version of SeedProd, you can create a free landing page specifically for Facebook ads. It comes with all the basic building blocks to create your landing page design, allowing you to generate leads at no cost.

Do Facebook ads need a landing page?

You should always link your Facebook ad to a landing page to encourage clicks and conversions. At the same time, you need to optimize your landing page to keep users on your page long enough to convert.

How do I optimize my Facebook landing page for conversions?

Once your landing page is complete, it’s important to perform optimizations to improve conversions. This means ensuring that the page is easy to use, visually appealing, and persuasive.  You can also use A/B testing to test different elements of your landing page to see what works best.

How do I analyze the performance of my Facebook landing page?

To analyze the performance of your landing page, you can use Facebook Insights or third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics. These tools allow you to track metrics such as page views, bounce rate, time on page, and conversion rate.

You can also use heat maps and user recordings to see how visitors interact with your page and identify areas for improvement.

Understanding Landing Page Views in Facebook Analytics

When analyzing the performance of your Facebook landing page, one metric you shouldn’t overlook is the “Landing Page View” which is available in Facebook Analytics.

A “Landing Page View” is counted when a person clicks on an ad link and loads the landing page. Unlike the “Link Click” metric, which only counts clicks on your ad, the “Landing Page View” ensures the user reached and loaded your page

To track this metric, you’ll need to have the Facebook Pixel installed on your landing page. Once it’s set up, you can monitor Landing Page Views from your Facebook Ads Manager.

And that’s it!

You now know how to create a Facebook landing page in WordPress. All that’s left is to add your landing page link to your Facebook campaigns so users can see it in their news feeds. As a result, you can increase conversions, leads, and sales.
