A converting landing page is not a random collection of good ideas.

It is a specific sequence of elements, each one doing a defined job, in a defined order.

This module maps that sequence. You will know exactly what belongs on your page, why it belongs there, and what position in the flow produces the highest conversion probability.

A high-converting landing page has seven elements. Every one has a purpose. Every one is in the right position in the sequence. Remove one and you create a gap in the conversion logic. Move one out of sequence and you create friction.

The seven elements are: the headline, the subheadline, the offer block, the proof section, the objection handler, the CTA, and the trust footer.

**The Headline**

The headline does one job: it stops the right visitor and makes them read the next line.

It is not a tagline. It is not a mission statement. It is a direct statement of the result the right visitor is trying to reach, or the problem they are trying to escape.

A headline that works for everyone works for no one. The more specifically it speaks to one type of person, the harder it is for that person to scroll past it.

**The Subheadline**

The subheadline has one job: expand on the headline with the one piece of context that makes the reader want to keep going.

It is not a second headline. It is the bridge from the promise in the headline to the proof and offer that follow. Keep it to one or two sentences. If the subheadline needs three sentences, the headline did not do its job.

**The Offer Block**

The offer block is where you make the specific case for what the visitor gets, what it costs, and why now.

Most offer blocks fail because they describe features rather than outcomes. Your visitor does not care about the features of what you are selling. They care about the result those features produce for them. The offer block must be written in outcome language: what will be different after they take the action?

**The Proof Section**

Visitors are skeptical. They arrive with a trust deficit. The proof section exists to close that deficit before the ask.

Proof comes in several forms. Testimonials. Case studies. Data. Client logos. Media mentions. Before and after results. The strongest proof is always specific: a named person, a specific result, a timeframe.

Module 05 goes deep on proof. For the anatomy, know that proof belongs between the offer and the CTA, not after it.

**The Objection Handler**

Every visitor who does not convert had a reason. The objection handler anticipates the three most common reasons and addresses them directly.

Common objections are not price. They are risk. Is this the right solution for my specific situation? What if it does not work? What if getting started is more complicated than they make it sound?

Address those directly on the page. Not in a FAQ at the bottom. In the flow, before the CTA.

**The CTA**

The CTA is the one action you are asking the visitor to take.

The button copy, the form, the structure of the ask all matter. But the single most important thing about a CTA is that there is only one. Every secondary link, every alternative path, every navigation item on a landing page is a competing CTA that reduces conversion.

Module 04 builds your CTA in detail. For the anatomy: it belongs after the proof, not before.

**The Trust Footer**

The trust footer is the last element on the page. Its job is to close any remaining hesitation.

It typically includes security indicators, refund or cancellation policy, contact information, and any relevant certifications or guarantees.

Most visitors who scroll to the bottom are high-intent. They are looking for a reason to commit. Give them that reason in concrete terms, not marketing language.

**Your Action Step**

Download the Module 2 Page Structure Map in the resource section. Map your current page or your planned page against the seven elements. Identify which elements are missing or out of sequence. That is your build priority for the rest of this course.
