Landing page checklist before you submit to directories
The eight things reviewers reject listings for, fixed in an afternoon.
30mEasySite
A listing sends people to your page once. These are the things reviewers and visitors reject a page for, and all of them are an afternoon's work.
01
Make the first screen answer what and for whom
Above the fold, without scrolling, on a phone. This is the single most common reason a submission is bounced back.
02
Give it one primary action
One button, repeated down the page if needed. Two competing calls to action halve both.
03
Check it on a real phone
Not a resized browser. Tap targets, keyboard behaviour on forms, and the actual load time on mobile data.
04
Add the trust minimums
A real contact route, a privacy page if you collect anything, and a working footer. Several directories check for these before listing.
Watch out
- Autoplaying video with sound is an instant close for most visitors.
- If your demo needs an account to see anything, expect most of the traffic to leave at the signup wall.
