Phone number country code in form

I think the short answer is - not easily… However there are ways: 1 - get a javascript wizard on the case 2 - it looks possible, using this: https://documentation.unbounce.com/hc/en-us/articles/203879170 3 - it looks relatively easy to do it in the subject line - can one click to call from a subject line - maybe, will the phone handle the +1 and leading 0 - maybe 4 - there is an integration to zapier - it maybe possible to do something there - or mailchimp… messy but very possible i would have thought.

Unbounce doesnt support facebook browser!

we’ve generated 1077 leads on fb today split by OS as follows (all on a UB page): iOS - 464 - 12% conversion from click Android - 508 - 7.2% conversion from click windows (desktop) - 93 - 9.3% conversion from click These have all passed through two UB pages to convert to a lead - and are very respectable when compared to other traffic sources. Just from my stats - if there is an issue it must affect very few. I think it’s likely to be a glitch in the way hotjar is recording it.

I would say that the hotjar recording doesn’t always perfectly display things (i’ve been caught out in the past) - you have to figure what is real and what is a hotjar (all of them - not just hotjar).

Track Which Button Was Clicked, Leading To The Conversion

utm - yes a good way. What you could also do is add a parameter to each link - say . website.com/free?whichlink=free . (different value for otehr link obsviouslly) Then add a hidden field named ‘whichlink’ - UB will the pull this into the form field. Actually, even easier - on each page (free and non-free) add a hidden field in the form and enter which page it is - like so:

Lawn Maintenance Landing Page

Last one! I would also try some different messaging on that 1st section and a different approach on the CTA (treat as seperate tests so you can see whats working and whats not - 1 variable per test - multivariate is fine if done properly): 1 (thinking - let’s concisely give them everything they need above the fold, let them know they found the best one, — fill out the form!!!) . The longer text below can be good for re-assureance - if we can close the deal now, let’s do it… Headline: Full Service Lawn Mowing, Turf, & Yard Maintenance (the current one - concise, ticks the boxes - this is what i am seaching for - great) Subheadline - i like this also . Prompt. Professional. Precise. - these two can give good uplifts so are always worth testing around - although i like what you have there. i would be inclined to include some bullets answering some questions, which are further down currently: Weekly or Bi-Weekly programs Full service - weed control, leaf cleanup and more Trus

Some things i would be keen to either do (no-brainer) or test: Add favicon - helps trust . [How-to] Add a Favicon to an Unbounce Landing Page try testamonials just below 1st section - these are really strong - could do better higher maybe any trust icons we can use? local business awards, association memberships? it may do better with sometihng like this above the fold - even this can do well: which is true if you direct to https page: https://try.wakeprolawncare.com/lawn-mowing/ which is defnately worth trying aswell - article on force to https here https://documentation.unbounce.com/hc/en-us/articles/204756634-How-do-I-secure-my-landing-page-domain-with-SSL-#content2 This has the benefit of giving you a nice reassuring green padlock (make sure you don’t pull from any non-ssl sources - otherwise you get warnings galore on the page) - but yours is fine atm (just be aware if adding any scripts etc)

Lawn Maintenance Landing Page

So this is typical of the kind of blurb i would always want at bottom of site: This one is for a Financial Services company, so heavier than most of ours: _* Feefo Rating for XXX based on 331 verified reviews, 31 January 2018 This site is operated by XXX, a company registered in England and Wales (registration number 4519020), at XX. xxx is an active member of the Consumer Credit Trade Association and is fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Firm Number xxx. © 2014 XXX All Rights Reserved Site designed by Digital Oyster Ltd Registered in England and Wales, company number: 08692911 Privacy Policy Cookie Policy_ In my view - although few people read much of it - it being there is re-assuring. Makes one think this is a real company regitetred autorised, i can seee their address - i trust them a bit more now,., Having nothing there makes me think - who are these people!?? and raises a red flag on the trustability - more acceptable for a local lawn cutting

Lawn Maintenance Landing Page

in my view i would expect it to work better if you plaster the area very visibly all over the page: Do you use geo-locate within the ads? Grass-Cutting in [TOWN] - Limited Capacity - Get Your Quote Now I would suggest it’s worth testing if you don’t and also test within headline of LP. In addition, list out the areas covered: Servicing, Worthing, Littlehampton, Steyning, Rustington and sourounding areas. (these are towns near me…) There will be many people who live near Worthing (the biggest town in the vicinity) - I’m in Rustington they are in worthing - will they cover that far out…? If they see “Rustington” on the site - all doubt is immediately Removed. As part of my trying to fugure our where the service is, I scrolled to the bottom “blurb” area looking for an address - nothing 😦 This blurb does a couple of things: 1 - it’s a common place for people to look to see who and where you are - really imnportant for this kind of service 2 - it re-enfoces trustability… grabbi

Lawn Maintenance Landing Page

Hi @gregoryburke , looks good overall - i like the design - nice and clean, well layed out and professional look 🙂 i’m just thinking through - what do people want when searching for a lawn-care service… i am actually interested in one although not sure you / your client can service my garden in england 😦 Which leads nicely into what i think is potentially a massive point: Where are Wake Pro? What areas do you cover?!!! I can’t find it - maybe i’m missing something. ‘Local’ is mentioned once or twice - but local to where!? Although i have no experience of marketing local services, I would expect this is possibly one of the biggest factors. I think even if i were to look up on a directory - it tells me wake pro are 1 mile from me - i would still be looking for verification of this pretty much first thing on site. still writing… will post more shortly

Long Term Plan for Media Elements?

Hi Jeff, I don’t have an answer to your question. I just noticed on loading your site however (i live in the middle of nowhere and my internet is powered by sheep) you have a few vey sizable images on the page - i was getting the painfully slow image load you used to see on dial up connections. these are the main culprits: I would say these 6 images could use below 500kb without loosing visible quality - which will really help your page load speeds. For example, this one (below) is 1.7mb on the page - i’ve just opened in photoshop, save for web, jpg medium = 107kb generally jpg can be smaller than png, however it doesn’t do ‘transparant’.

Introduce yourself to the community! 👋

Where are you from? Brighton, England - born in Papua New Guinea What kind of business are you in? And how long have you been doing it? I started Digital Oyster a few (3-4) years back, which is going from strength to strength. We specialise in Native Marketing and run volume lead gen campaigns. Right now we’re up to around 12 people and approaching 10m annual turnover. I have been in marketing for around 17 years - first as a trainee list broker when i was 18. What are you working on in Unbounce right now? Do you need any help? - Like Nicolas’s answer - everything! Unbounce underpins all of our campaigns - that’s allot of pages were continuously working on and optimising. Do we need any help? - almost certainly, but i’m not sure with exactly what right now… I was told the other day it would be extremely helpful to be able to apply pops / sticky bars across multiple domains.

Pre-Fill Forms on User's Browser?

Hello Philip, Couple of ways… Firstly, see this post: [How-to] Auto-fill Form Fields using Local Storage Tips and Scripts [community tips scripts banner] If you have leads who come back to your Unbounce landing pages more than once, this script will come in handy. It stores the data submitted by the user locally on their browser (using Local Storage) and recalls it when they visit another of your landing pages so they do not have to complete the same fields twice. [image] Ckick here to see the autofill in action built in Unbounce (feel free to try it - complete the form and refresh the page to see your data au… Secondly, you can pre-pop the fields by passing information in the URL. For example if you send an email to a prospect you can insert their name into the link. Unbounce will pre-pop any form field if the name of the field is included as a parameter in the URL. For example if you have a form field named ‘namexyz’ and then used this link: htt

Facebook Learning Phase for Link Clicks

Re-looking at your question - FB will optimise what it is doing regardless of any learning phase. What you say is fairly normal - it improves, but then starts to run out of the good stuff and cost goes up. How big is the audience and how many impressions have you run? It may well be it’s struggling to repeat it’s best performance still serving to the same limited audience. But as per my previous post, i think there is almost certainly a better strategy than targeting clicks.

Facebook Learning Phase for Link Clicks

Hello, I don’t really know the answer to your question - because we never target clicks. We have tested in the past but by far the most cost effective way is to target the end result - website conversions in our case. Our monthly spend with FB is near 200k and we have done allot of testing (just explaining why i feel i am in a position to comment on this). By far our most successfull method is - targeting conversions with lookalike audiences. CPC is nearly irrelevant as all clicks are far from equal and quality of traffic varies allot. In my experience targeting clicks, you will get lower cost clicks, they won’t convert. If you really want a lower CPC, target mobile only and turn third party audiences on… in fact if you target India, you can get really cheap clicks!

Popups: Q&A with Finge Holden ⭐

What would you say to someone who doesn’t like popups? Reminds me of a Drayton Bird story, i can’t find it now. The ending of the story is “you buy 1000 units of xyz and we’ll run the ad you like” - i.e what one likes and what converts and makes money are often not the same. We have popups on all of our campaigns now after some thorough testing - with the right messaging we have always got an uplift (sometimes it takes a few goes to find the right offer / message / copy).

How to capture a visitor's country in a form?

@Adrien very slow reply! This one passes IP address into a hidden form field called ‘IPadd’ <script type="text/javascript"> $.get("https://ipinfo.io", function(response) { $("#IPadd").val(response.ip); //alert(response.ip); }, "jsonp"); </script> And i just found this: $.get(“https://ipinfo.io”, function(response) { console.log(response.city, response.country); }, “jsonp”); I think if you try something like this (combining the two): <script type="text/javascript"> $.get("https://ipinfo.io", function(response) { $("#IPadd").val(response.country); //alert(response.ip); }, "jsonp"); </script> (i just swapped country in in the place of IP) It will probably work - you need to add a hidden form field called IPadd - or call it what you like and change this bit: $("#IPadd")

Passing IP Address & form data to URL

We used this a while back which did the trick (use at your own risk!): <script type="text/javascript"> $.get("https://ipinfo.io", function(response) { $("#IPadd").val(response.ip); //alert(response.ip); }, "jsonp"); </script> Add a hidden form field called ‘IPadd’ and this populates the IP into the form field (at least it did a year or two ago!). Set the form to forward parameters in the URL - bingo

Using Unbounce's A/B Testing while NOT actually using their standard form

Yes - i think so! if you look at the souce code of one the the UB pages you can see something like this: window.ub.page.id = "67224xxx"; window.ub.page.variantId = "j"; window.ub.page.usedAs = "main"; window.ub.page.name = "xxx"; window.ub.page.url = "https:/xxxxx"; window.ub.page.dimensions = {"desktop":{"height":4862,"width":1250},"mobile":{"height":8169,"width":320}}; I know we use a script to pick up this info and insert into tracking pixels - i would imagine it’s possible to pass the info to your form… Unfortunately - i don’t know more than that - other than a dev could probably do it fairly easily.

Is it possible to have a landing page in english and french?

I think your best option is to have two pages, (one english, one french), show the buttons at the top - but they link to the correct page for the language selected (as opposed to switching the text on the same page).
