Landing pages are a fantastic option to easily share information with students in an environment fully controlled by you. Your ability to provide each student with a personalized page is where landing pages come into their own.
Note: Landing pages are only available to clients with Gecko Promote. Interested in learning more? Contact your Sales or Account Manager here.
To create a new page, go to Landing Pages and click + New Landing Page in the top-right corner. When you're happy with everything looks, your landing page can be shared by clicking the edit button in the bottom-right corner of the page and toggling Published to on. This generates a unique sharing over which you control the URL.
Drag & Drop Landing Pages
The editor
Inside the editor you'll find a range of blocks to build your page with — text, images, buttons, spacers, and more. A few worth highlighting:
Forms block — pulls directly from your Gecko forms, so your landing page and data capture are fully connected.
Custom Map block — great for event or campus pages where you need to give directions to students.
Settings
Once you're happy with your page, click Save and head into Settings. From here you can:
Connect your Chat Widget so visitors can start a conversation directly from the page.
Add your Google Tag Manager ID for tracking.
Publishing & sharing
When you're ready to go live, click Publish. You'll see a live URL which you can share via your webpage, emails, texts, and more.
Basic Landing Pages
Basic landing pages are divided into three sections: the header/footer, the body, and the edit page menu.
Header & footer
Hover over the top or bottom block and click the edit button to customise it. You can control titles, add rich text, incorporate social media icons (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), and manage the block's appearance.
Body
There's no cap on the number of blocks you can add to the body of your landing page. Add new blocks by clicking the blue + Add button at the bottom of any body block. To reorder blocks, click Edit in the bottom-right corner and scroll down to the Block Order section, where you can drag and drop blocks into a new order.
Gecko supports three block types:
Content / Image — Specify titles, add rich text, and upload images. Learn more about dynamically personalising your landing pages.
Form — Embed any of your Gecko forms and freely customise the block's appearance.
Map — Integrate your landing page with Google Maps.
Edit page menu
Click Edit in the bottom-right corner of your landing page to publish/unpublish your page and adjust settings. From here you can:
Change your landing page's title.
Add URLs for any social media widgets you've embedded.
Add Google Tag Manager IDs to track traffic and clicks.
Integrate live chat or bot channels.
Use the Block Order section to reorder blocks on your page.
When you're ready to share with students, publish your page and send them your unique sharing link.
