Landing pages are more than just text and photos, and we’ve recently added the capability to embed a whole bunch of cool widgets and page elements that will enable to you to communicate with your prospects in a way that’s relevant to your campaign and your users’ needs.
Here’s a list of our 5 favorite Unbounce add-ons:

Unbounce tracks basic conversion stats for you, but we realize that some people require the detailed information available from Google Analytics.
Adding your Google Analytics code is simple. Click the “Scripts” button in the page editor toolbar and just cut and paste your code.
TIP: Embedding widgets with the Custom HTML component!
One of the ways that we’ve enabled the use of all these cool widgets is to create a Custom HTML component that lets you embed the code from an external source directly into your page. You will find the “Custom HTML” button in the page editor toolbar. Note: When you have added a component to the page – you’ll need to click Preview to see it in action.
Video lets you engage your customers in a more meaningful way and increases the chance of them staying on your landing page long enough to “absorb” your message.
