[Tips & Scripts] Flexible Form Fields

Vic you da man, that’s a really  useful bit of script, we’ve been doing something similar but without the placeholder boxes to use as targets idea, which I think is a really neat way of positioning them as opposed to using JQuery to move them around in fieldsets. This is a really good step towards the kind of flexible forms that would hold most people back… Thanks for your efforts 🙂 Cheers Stuart.

Google Analytics User ID integration

Hi Santiago, Just to confirm what Phillip was saying and try to bridge the gap a bit. While you’re right to a certain degree, Device Paths report are reliant on setting a user ID in the tracker, that user ID is then used to track all the logins from that user across multiple devices, without the user logging in (or some method of validating which user it is and assigning the correct  user ID from your database or system) then it’s not possible to do this.  What User ID were you going to use that will be assigned to that specific user every time they access your landing page from any device? As far as I’m aware there isn’t one, at least not a unique I.D that stays the same for that person each visit. Will this be pulled from your CRM or Database system? How do you identify which user it is and what their User ID is? Phillip is right, it’s normally used when you have users who log in that way you know their identity and you can assign the correct user ID to them. I’m struggling to see ho

Unbounce as home page

Hmmmmm I like that idea, and maybe vice versa, feeds could go both ways, to and from Unbounce pages for Dynamic content updates. Possibly XML and/or RSS support…

Unbounce as home page

Hi Daniel, The problem you’ll run into is that to host your Unbounce landing page on your root domain you’ll need to create a cname pointer to unbouncepages.com which basically overrides the content from being pulled from your server and uses Unbounces instead, that makes it awkward to host one page on Unbounce and other pages on your own server for the root domain at the same time.  Now there are a few workarounds, personally I’d suggest this is exactly where the Unbounce WordPress integration comes into it’s own (our whole website is now made of Unbounce landing pages all connected together with Navigation, we have a few issues to iron out but in general it seems to work well and will allow us to A/B test every page on our website, which is so cool!) That being said you could publish Unbounce to your root domain and use the landing page as a home page and then publish your other page using a subdomain and point your unbounce landing page at that? So you’d get your landing page on exa

Does Lightbox content score in AdWords Quality Score?

Hi Laura, Your right to a certain extent. The lightbox content would not be attributed to the landing page directly but it would still be crawled (as long as you’ve not ticked the boxes to “hide from search engines”) however I believe that only the content found on the landing page itself is used to determine relevance and impact on the page quality score.  While that might make you think lightboxes are not as good as they first look please don’t jump away from them just quite yet. The benefit they give to user experience and feel of a landing page quite often has a noticeable impact on conversion rates, if you’re getting more conversions but a slightly lower quality score isn’t that better for business? Now my top tip to combat this… FAQ’s at the bottom of your LP. Style them so they are grey, plain and boring and don’t pull any attention away from your main LP message and form. Keep them smaller and at the bottom of the page but use them to add content to your LP for the purposes of

How to avoid setting up CNAME

Hi Kelly, So I’m afraid, as usual in this business, the answer is a little more complicated than yes or no.  Short version: No, Unbounce don’t host the domain. You can use the default unbouncepages.com and leave the page there so you don’t have to setup a CNAME but… You really don’t want to do this, it will have an impact in a lot of areas and will also put barriers in your way in various places for the following areas: SEO, PPC, Digital Analytics, Customer Trust and that’s just for starters. Would you trust a landing page/proposition if you notice that it’s not even using the companies own domain name?  If you’d like me to elaborate I’d be happy to give you the long version but the TLDR, a workaround is possible but you’re going to hurt your conversions and performance and give yourself more stress than bribing your I.T team with donuts and waiting for the CNAME to be setup. Hope that helps, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  Cheers Stuart.

I need to remove some html code. How do I do that?

No probs, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, Just like Jim says above, it’s that easy, use script manager or global script manager to add or remove the relevant code. Google Tag Manager is an option that’s worth exploring for the correct management of tags across multiple pages, campaigns, and projects.  Cheers Stuart.

Salesforce Web2Lead - Can't use native integration

I use a custom webhook for this one guys, we have a client using the professional version which doesnt support oAuth.  It gives us a bit more flexibility with field names and the ability to run some data transformation before posting to Salesforce, in case  our data types are different or dates are in a different format etc. Shout me if you want the basic version of the webhook without the transformations etc can post it here. Cheers Stuart.

I need to remove some html code. How do I do that?

Hi  Eileen, Use a bit of JS or JQuery in the script section of your LP. JQuery is a bit closer to standard English so would probably be easier to understand if your not a coder. https://api.jquery.com/remove/ If you need help with this please let me know. Many thanks Stuart.

How to put a Form in a Lightbox (aka, two step opt-in for click-through page)

Hi Russel, Like Hristian says a bit more info would be great. Just to clarify when you’re putting a form into a lightbox, the Unbounce page you setup for the form should really only have the form in it. That way it’s the only content displayed in the lightbox.  Once you have a form only page make sure you reduce the size of the sections to get rid of additional space and bish bash bosh it should appear on its own. The first thing I thought about this was the form should be the whole page so what else is there and why? Hope that helps a bit Cheers Stuart

Preventing spam submissions

Hi Matt, Apologies about these emails, i’ve sent you a couple now and they keep bouncing back to me. I’m still looking into why. I’ve received your email over the weekend, if you could ping me the  url of your landing page across that would be great and I’ll take a look and see whats involved with getting the captcha setup. Cheers Stuart.

Unbounce conversions not being tracked in Adwords

Hi Thomas, You need to configure your analytics setup to properly deal with the subdomain which excludes it from being tracked as a “self-referral”.   I could go through it all bit by bit but I think you’d benefit more from reading something a little more detailed so I’ve gone ahead and found a page that explains it reasonably well without getting too technical. https://moz.com/blog/cross-domain-subdomain-tracking-in-google-analytics Good old Moz is a really good source of information to trust, take a peek at this and see if it explains a little more for you regarding your required analytics setup. Hope that helps, Cheers Stuart.

Preventing spam submissions

Hi Tom, There are a few things you can do to deal with this. Firstly you can stop submissions being made from the free email addresses, so no Gmail, yahoo, Hotmail etc meaning they can only use valid domain names usually associated with legitimate business emails.  Or use a data validation service to check the email/domain exists before allowing submission. Secondly, make sure there is telephone number validation added to your form, the basic validation is native to unbounce but again you can extend this yourself or with a telephone number validation service.  If you’re after a ReCaptcha then I would recommend the Google ReCaptcha API, I’ve not actually used it on  Unbounce but tbh it shouldn’t be that hard to implement, you may just need to jig things around a little bit and include a custom validation to Unbounce standard jQuery.validate rule set.  https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/intro You’ll need to be comfortable with Javascript, HTML and CSS to get this done.

Hide Password characters

Yeah, I thought about that before, but tbh I’ve done zero research on the implications from a security perspective so I wasn’t willing to make the suggestion until I’d checked. It just seems too easy 🙂 With the addition of SSL for secure landing pages we’ve moved forward a lot, before that it was just a non-starter. Maybe I was just being too cautious 🙂 Had any issues with it?

Adding a second form to a landing page

Hi Snehaa, It’s not possible to have two forms on one page, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as there are a few possible workarounds to get this done for you. Create a second stand alone Unbounce landing page with just a form in it and then load that into the Unbounce native lightbox feature, allowing them to click a button and fill in the form ready for the download Create an HTML form and embed it using the custom HTML block functionality that’s part of the page builder. Setup a mailchimp (or similar) account and embed the form into a custom HTML block or load it into a lightbox, this will enable you to build a list by collecting email addresses then either make the form available for download on a thank you page or send it as part of the autoresponder series. This also gives you the chance to make  sure people confirm their email address by clicking a verification link and continue to email market them. I bet you can guess from my reply that this is my preferred met

Validating Phone Number Fields

Hi Julia, This  may be a silly question so forgive me if it is!  Have you set the phone number field to use the Australian phone number validation?  It defaults to the states and I’m in the UK so I have to make sure  I manually change each phone number field to UK in my form config. I could see it being easy to miss if you were not aware it was there. If it’s still not working then feel free to ping a response back with a link to your landing page and I’d be happy to take a look for you.  Cheers Stuart.

Not mobile responsive

And one more tip! Holding down control when moving/resizing elements in a particular view will stop the changes being made to the other view as well. This little trick has saved my sanity… Ctrl is your friend 🙂
