2- Create With Your Customer in Mind Conversions increase when bounce-rates decrease, so there are things you can do entice your viewer to stay on the page; like if someone clicks your display ad, they should see similar messaging and creative on the landing page they reach.

These three tips, when combined, can help your campaigns increase their cost-efficiency and conversion rate!
