What is The #1 Reason Your Landing Page Does Not Convert?
Here’s how to double your SaaS landing page conversions:
- Think like a salesperson: Your hero section is the pitch, then visitors enter validation mode with questions. Answer these questions as they scroll.
- List every objection: Gather all customer questions about cost, setup time and features, then rank them by how often your ideal customers ask them.
- Handle in order: Start with the most common concerns and build sections that address each one clearly. Use separate pages for deeper dives.

How to Tell Stories with Your SaaS to Gain New Users?
Stories are a powerful way to sell complex products – they help customers see themselves in your solution instead of getting lost in features.
- Make it personal not corporate: customers engage more with founder stories about why you built this and what you learned than with company marketing
- Connect with users through shared problems: tell how you helped others with the exact challenge your prospect is facing right now
- Guide next steps clearly: great stories sell the outcome and end with a clear call to action
