![Page 21: Anatomy of a killer sales page - Mixergy...•Google Website Optimizer –Free, basic solution by Google •Visual Website Optimizer (my company) –World’s easiest A/ testing tool](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052002/60151eb228b79505e454a056/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why headlines are so important?
People look hereto find out what’sthe website about
![Page 22: Anatomy of a killer sales page - Mixergy...•Google Website Optimizer –Free, basic solution by Google •Visual Website Optimizer (my company) –World’s easiest A/ testing tool](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052002/60151eb228b79505e454a056/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concreteness is key to good headline
• Say what the website/product is about
– Don’t use “Welcome to XYZ” as headline
• Headline is not a place to make a pitch
– Don’t use “XYZ has changed ABC forever”
• Keep it short
– About eight words is ideal
