How to convert more of your paid traffic
There are three factors that help create a seamless experience from your advertisement to your site. This experience is what will make the difference between turning your visitor into a subscriber or having them leave without ever finding out who they are.

1.) Messaging
2.) Imagery
3.) and Offer

Use UTM targeting to tie paid ads to the onsite experience
Create segmented campaigns to target specific UTM parameters. What's a UTM parameter? A UTM is a tag at the end of your URL. The part following the question mark. The UTM allows you to track things like traffic sources, mediums, or specific campaigns.

They acknowledge which podcast their visitor came from as well the offer they were promised. Now that’s a seamless experience!
