Who We Are (And Why We're Obsessed With Landing Page Performance)
Exit Strategy Ads specializes in one thing: helping supplement brands turn paid traffic into profitable customers. We've studied top-performing landing pages across the supplement industry and identified the exact patterns that separate high-converting pages from underperformers.
Most agencies will take your money and send your Facebook ads to your homepage—then blame the "audience" or "creative" when results disappoint. We know better. The problem is almost never the ad. It's what happens after the click.
That's why we're offering to build you a complete, custom landing page for free. No strings attached. We want to show you—not just tell you—how a properly designed lead generation page can transform your advertising performance.
We've analyzed hundreds of high-performing supplement landing pages to identify conversion patterns that consistently work in this industry.
Our framework is built on proven direct response principles and conversion rate optimization research specific to supplement marketing.
Every element we implement—from headlines to CTAs to tracking setup—is based on documented industry benchmarks and A/B testing research.
The Supplement Advertising Problem No One Talks About
You're running Facebook ads. Google ads. Maybe TikTok. Traffic is flowing. Your click-through rates look decent. But when you check your sales dashboard... crickets. Sound familiar?
The Homepage Trap
Your homepage serves everyone: first-time visitors, returning customers, wholesale buyers, job seekers. It has 10+ navigation links, a blog sidebar, and five different CTAs. When someone clicks your ad expecting "the sleep supplement from that Facebook video," they land on a generic page and don't know what to do next. They leave in 8 seconds.
The Tracking Black Hole
Without proper pixel setup, UTM parameters, and conversion event tracking, you have zero visibility into what's actually working. Which ad creative drove that sale? Which audience segment converted best? Which landing page element killed your conversion rate? You're flying blind, making decisions based on incomplete data.
The Lost Lead Problem
Here's the reality: 90-95% of first-time visitors won't buy immediately. If you're not capturing their email with a compelling lead magnet, you've lost them forever. No retargeting. No nurture sequence. No second chance. Just burned ad dollars with nothing to show for it.
These aren't small issues. They're silent profit-killers. And most supplement brands don't even realize they have them.
The High-Converting Landing Page Framework for Supplement Brands
Through analyzing top-performing supplement campaigns across the industry, we've identified the exact architecture that turns cold clicks into qualified leads and paying customers. Here's the framework we use—and the same one we'll implement in your custom landing page.
1 Message Match
What it is: Your landing page headline and hero image mirror the exact promise from your ad.
Why it matters: Visitor clicks ad saying "Sleep better in 30 days or your money back" → lands on page with headline "Sleep Better in 30 Days—Guaranteed." Zero confusion. Instant relevance. Industry studies show this alone can increase conversion rates 30-40%.
What we do:
We review your current ads (or create new angles) and ensure perfect message alignment between ad creative and landing page.
2 Singular Focus
What it is: One product. One offer. One CTA. Zero navigation distractions.
Why it matters: Research shows every additional link or CTA option reduces conversion probability by 5-10%. Your visitor should have one clear path: fill out the form, watch the video, or add to cart. Nothing else.
What we do:
We strip away everything that doesn't serve the conversion goal. No header navigation. No footer bloat. Just a linear path to action.
3 Benefit-Driven Copy
What it is: Headlines and body copy that speak to outcomes, not ingredients. "Fall asleep in 15 minutes naturally" beats "Contains 200mg L-Theanine and 3mg Melatonin."
Why it matters: Cold traffic doesn't care about your proprietary blend. They care about solving their problem (low energy, poor sleep, weight loss plateau). Lead with benefits, support with proof, address objections directly.
What we do:
We write conversion-focused copy based on proven supplement positioning frameworks—starting with the outcome your customer actually wants.
4 Trust & Credibility Signals
What it is: Strategic placement of social proof elements throughout the page—customer testimonials, clinical study citations, third-party certifications (NSF, GMP, Organic), money-back guarantees, and media mentions.
Why it matters: Supplement buyers are skeptical. They've been burned by overpromising brands. Trust signals reduce perceived risk and overcome the "is this legit?" objection before it kills the conversion.
What we do:
We identify your strongest credibility assets and position them where doubt peaks—near the CTA, after the headline, and before the final conversion point.
5 High-Value Lead Magnet
What it is: A free, valuable resource offered in exchange for an email address—before asking for the sale.
Why it matters: Industry data shows 90% of first-time visitors aren't ready to buy. But 10-15% will give you their email for something valuable (quiz, guide, sample, discount code). Now you have permission to nurture them via email until they're ready to purchase.
What we do:
We design lead magnets specific to your product category—sleep quizzes for sleep supplements, energy assessments for nootropics, weight loss guides for fat burners, etc.
6 Mobile-First Design
What it is: Layout, buttons, forms, and images optimized for mobile devices first—because 60-70% of your traffic will come from phones.
Why it matters: If your landing page takes 5 seconds to load on mobile, or if the CTA button is too small to tap accurately, you've already lost. Google also penalizes slow, non-mobile-friendly pages with lower Quality Scores (= higher ad costs).
What we do:
We build every landing page mobile-first, with touch-friendly buttons (44x44px minimum), compressed images, and <2-second load times on 4G.
7 Bulletproof Tracking
What it is: Properly installed Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, GA4 events, and UTM parameters on every link.
Why it matters: Without accurate tracking, you can't optimize. You don't know which ads work, which audiences convert, or where visitors drop off. Tracking transforms guesswork into data-driven decisions.
What we do:
We set up the complete tracking infrastructure—pixels, custom conversions, event triggers, and dashboards—so you see exactly where every lead and sale comes from.
Why Your Homepage Is Killing Your Ad ROI (And What to Do Instead)
Most supplement brands make the same mistake: they invest hundreds or thousands in ad creative and targeting, then send all that traffic to their homepage. Here's why that's sabotaging your results—and the exact conversion differences industry data shows.
| Sending Traffic to Homepage | Sending Traffic to Dedicated Landing Page |
|---|---|
| ❌ 10+ navigation options → Visitor clicks "About Us," "Blog," "Shop All" and gets distracted | ✅ Zero navigation → One clear path forward, no escape routes |
| ❌ Generic messaging → "Premium supplements for healthy living" doesn't match ad promise | ✅ Message match → Page headline mirrors exact ad claim ("The sleep supplement from the Facebook ad") |
| ❌ Multiple offers competing → "Subscribe & save," "Shop best sellers," "Read our blog," "Follow us on Instagram" | ✅ Single offer focus → One product, one CTA, one decision to make |
| ❌ No lead capture → 95% of visitors leave forever, can't be retargeted or nurtured | ✅ Lead magnet integrated → Captures 10-15% as email leads for follow-up sequences |
| ❌ Slow load time → Lots of plugins, scripts, large images = 4-6 second load = high bounce rate | ✅ Speed-optimized → <2 seconds on mobile, higher Quality Scores, lower ad costs |
| ❌ Vague tracking → All traffic lumped together, can't isolate campaign performance | ✅ Campaign-specific tracking → Each ad campaign gets unique UTM tags and dedicated page for precise attribution |
| Average conversion rate: 1.5-3% | Average conversion rate: 8-15% |
Real-world impact: If you're spending $10,000/month on ads...
Homepage (2% conversion) = 200 conversions
Landing page (10% conversion) = 1,000 conversions
That's 800 extra leads or sales per month from the same ad spend.
Your homepage is a Swiss Army knife. Your landing page is a scalpel.
Homepages are built to serve everyone who might visit your site—from first-time prospects to repeat customers to wholesale buyers to job applicants. They're generalists by design. Landing pages are specialists: they have one job (convert this specific type of visitor from this specific ad), and they do it exceptionally well. That's why every dollar you spend on ads deserves a dedicated landing page, not a homepage redirect.
Why Supplement Brands Can't Scale Without Proper Tracking
You can have the best landing page in the world, but without accurate tracking, you're still guessing. Here's what proper tracking infrastructure looks like—and why it's non-negotiable for profitable scaling.
What they are:
Small pieces of code (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tag, TikTok Pixel) that track visitor actions on your landing page.
What they track:
- Page views
- Form submissions
- Purchases
- Add-to-carts
- Video plays
Why they matter:
Platforms use this data to optimize ad delivery. If Facebook knows which users convert after clicking your ad, it shows your ad to more people like them. No pixel = no optimization = wasted impressions.
What we set up:
We install all major platform pixels via Google Tag Manager, configure custom conversion events, and verify everything fires correctly using browser testing tools.
What they are:
Tags added to your landing page URL that tell analytics tools where the visitor came from.
Example:
yourpage.com?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=sleep-supplement-launch&utm_content=video-ad-1
Why they matter:
Without UTMs, all traffic looks the same in Google Analytics. With UTMs, you can see performance by:
- Traffic source (Facebook, Google, TikTok, email)
- Campaign (product launch, retargeting, seasonal promo)
- Ad creative (video vs. image, headline A vs. B)
What we set up:
We create standardized UTM naming conventions for your team and apply them to every landing page link so you have perfect attribution from day one.
What they are:
Specific actions tracked beyond basic page views—like "clicked CTA button," "scrolled 50%," "watched video for 30 seconds," "started filling out form."
Why they matter:
These events reveal how visitors interact with your page. If 80% of people scroll to the testimonials but only 10% click the CTA, you know the testimonials aren't overcoming objections—time to test new social proof or reposition the CTA earlier.
What we set up:
We configure event tracking for all key actions and create custom audiences based on engagement (e.g., retarget everyone who watched 50%+ of your video but didn't convert).
Example insight:
"Visitors who watch the testimonial video are 3x more likely to purchase → create a video-view audience for retargeting."
What they are:
Real-time visual reports that show you key metrics at a glance—conversion rate, cost per lead, cost per acquisition, bounce rate, traffic sources.
Why they matter:
You can't optimize what you don't measure. Dashboards make performance visible so you can identify winners and losers fast.
What we set up:
We create custom Google Data Studio (Looker Studio) dashboards that pull data from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and GA4 into one unified view. No more jumping between platforms.
Why Proper Tracking Changes Everything
Common Scenario:
Many supplement brands run ads with broken tracking—Facebook or Google only sees 50-70% of actual conversions because pixels aren't firing correctly or custom events aren't configured.
When tracking is fixed and platforms receive complete conversion data, their algorithms can optimize properly. Industry studies show this can improve ROAS by 40-60% with no other changes. Same ads. Same budget. Better data = better optimization.
Why Smart Supplement Brands Capture Leads Before Asking for Sales
Here's the uncomfortable truth: most people won't buy your supplement on the first click. They don't know your brand. They're skeptical of claims. They want to compare options. If you're trying to close the sale immediately with cold traffic, you're burning 90% of your ad budget. Here's the smarter approach.
The 90/10 Rule
Research shows that only 5-10% of first-time visitors to a supplement site are ready to buy immediately. The other 90-95% need more time, more information, or more trust. If you only optimize for immediate sales, you're ignoring 9 out of 10 potential customers. Lead generation captures those 90% before they disappear forever.
How Lead Generation Works
- Visitor clicks your ad and lands on your page
- Instead of asking for $50-$100 upfront, you offer something valuable for free (quiz, guide, sample, discount code) in exchange for their email
- Visitor submits email to get the free offer (10-20% conversion rate vs. 2-3% for direct purchase)
- Email gets added to your CRM or email platform (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, etc.)
- Automated nurture sequence deploys over 5-14 days—educational content, customer stories, objection handling, limited-time offer
- 20-30% of leads convert into paying customers within 30 days
- Remaining leads stay on your list for retargeting and future promotions
Math Example: $10,000 ad spend, 10,000 clicks at $1 CPC
| Direct-to-Purchase Approach | Lead Generation Approach |
| 2.5% conversion rate = 250 sales Average order value: $60 Revenue: $15,000 ROAS: 1.5x | 12% lead capture rate = 1,200 leads 25% of leads buy within 30 days = 300 sales Average order value: $60 Revenue: $18,000 Plus 900 leads for future campaigns ROAS: 1.8x (and growing) |
Key insight: Lead generation doesn't just increase immediate ROAS—it builds an owned audience you can market to for free forever.

The Never-Ending Quest: How to Continuously Improve Your Landing Page Performance
Your first landing page launch won't be perfect—and that's okay. The best-performing supplement brands don't "set and forget." They test, learn, and iterate constantly. Here's what to test (and how to do it without a PhD in statistics).
Phase 1: Foundation Testing (Weeks 1-4)
What to test:- Headline variations (3-5 options): benefit-driven vs. curiosity-driven vs. urgency-driven
- CTA button copy: "Get Started," "Claim Your Free Guide," "Yes, I Want Better Sleep"
- CTA button color: Sky Blue vs. Orange vs. Green (test against your brand palette)
These three elements have the highest impact on conversion rate—industry data shows 20-50% lifts from a winning variation.
How to test:Use Google Optimize (free), Optimizely, or VWO. Split traffic 50/50 between control and variant. Run for minimum 7 days or 100 conversions per variant.
Phase 2: Copy & Proof Testing (Weeks 5-8)
What to test:- Page length: short-form (800 words) vs. long-form (2,500 words)
- Social proof placement: testimonials in hero section vs. mid-page vs. near CTA
- Benefit vs. feature focus: "Fall asleep faster" vs. "Contains 3mg melatonin + L-theanine"
Copy and social proof affect trust and persuasion—critical for cold traffic skepticism.
Phase 3: Design & UX Testing (Weeks 9-12)
What to test:- Hero image: product-only vs. lifestyle photo vs. video
- Form length: 2 fields (name + email) vs. 4 fields (name, email, phone, goal)
- Mobile layout: sticky CTA vs. inline CTA
Design changes have smaller impact than headline/CTA, but compound gains over time.
See What Visitors Actually Do (Not What You Think They Do)
Tools like Hotjar, Crazy Egg, and Microsoft Clarity show you heatmaps (where people click), scroll maps (how far they read), and session recordings (actual visitor journeys). This qualitative data reveals friction points quantitative metrics miss.
Examples of insights:
- "90% of visitors never scroll past the hero → move key benefits and CTA higher"
- "Everyone clicks the testimonial video thumbnail but it's not playable → add working video player"
- "Mobile users tap the phone number but it's not click-to-call → make it tappable"
What we provide: We'll install Hotjar on your landing page (free tier) so you can watch real sessions and identify optimization opportunities after launch.
