[PODCAST] The Psychology of Landing Page Design

There’s a reason that so many conversion rate optimization “best practices” stem from the field of psychology.

If you understand human behavior – the desires and motivations of your audience – then you’re better equipped to give people what they want.

In this episode, Neil Patel of KISSMetrics and Quick Sprout explains how anticipation works in a user’s brain and how you can leverage it to create more enjoyable user experiences… all while increasing your conversions.

Tune in to learn…

• The science behind why positive messages lead to higher conversion rates.
• How understanding real-world visual cues (such as stoplights) can help you design better landing pages.
• How anticipating what your visitors want will help you rise above competitors.
