What Are Landing Pages And Why Are They Important for My Event Rental Website?

What kind of marketing do you do for your event business? Maybe you are an all-star networker, post on social media, or have a customer referral program. These are all great ways to get new customers, but do you know what is the #1 way to get more eyes on your biz? Your website. Your website can make or break a potential client because most people will explore an event rental website before doing business with them. Even if your website is beautifully designed with great user navigation, some people may never find it. This is where SEO, or search engine optimization, becomes an event professional’s best friend.

Websites are not just meant to showcase your beautiful inventory and provide helpful information to clients. They should also be generating leads for you by bringing in potential customers based on the words they are searching for. This is where landing pages come in.  A landing page is where people “land” when they click on a link from an ad, social media post, search engine result, etc.  A landing page is typically created to bring potential customers to your website, converting them from a visitor to a customer. Let’s dive into some things you should consider when creating an event rental landing page.

Keywords

Landing pages are the perfect spot to use words or phrases that your clients are searching for. An example of a landing page you can create is your most popular inventory items. Include the names of those items, but also consider what terms your clients would be searching for. Rather than “chiavari chairs”, potential clients might search for “wedding rental chairs”. Then, use these keywords on your event rental landing pages.. Doing this will make it easier for potential clients to find you through Google search.

Popular topics

Another way to increase traffic to your website is to create landing pages about the topics your clients care about. For example, if you are a tent rental company, consider creating a landing page with useful, relevant content about how to throw an outdoor event in the summer. People who are searching for this information will ultimately be searching for tent rental vendors, thus leading them to your website. This is also a great opportunity to pose your business as the solution to your client’s problem. In this example, their problem is wanting to throw the best outdoor event but not knowing how. The solution is to rent from you!
