The Landing Page Content Triangle describes the structure that your landing page should follow. Landing pages should answer “what?” and “who?” above the fold and “how?” below the fold. The top of the page must be extremely succinct and be limited to a headline, subheadline, and social proof.

Analytics, heatmapping, and A/B testing tools can also help optimize landing page performance over time.
