Highlights from the research findings are shown in the infographic below and include barriers to optimization such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Too much time and effort = 67%<\/li>\n<li>IT and code-heavy practices = 57%<\/li>\n<li>Little or no testing due to internal infrastructure = 46%<\/li>\n<li>No actionable insights from testing = 35%<\/li>\n<li>Inability to segment, personalize, or target = 33%<\/li>\n<li>Inability to efficiently optimize for mobile = 26%<\/li>\n<li>Inability to create interactive content = 26%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can see the complete infographic below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Barriers-to-landing-page-optimization-infographic.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43195 alignnone lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 560\/1667;border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"Barriers to landing page optimization infographic\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Barriers-to-landing-page-optimization-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"Barriers to landing page optimization infographic\" width=\"560\" height=\"1667\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Barriers-to-landing-page-optimization-infographic.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Barriers-to-landing-page-optimization-infographic-67x200.jpg 67w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly (or perhaps not surprisingly), many of the barriers to landing page optimization cited by marketers in this study are all internal problems.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, breaking down these barriers should be a strategic imperative for marketing executives who need to improve and quantify marketing program results. Unfortunately, this priority is too often overlooked. It takes guts to speak out against the obstacles created by internal struggles, hierarchies, decentralization, and &#8220;we&#8217;ve always done things this way&#8221; mentalities.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing executives who succeed in doing so truly are the best leaders, but the reality is they&#8217;re not always seen in that light. It&#8217;s a corporate mindset that needs to change from the top down in order to improve not just marketing performance but overall company performance.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree or disagree? Should landing page optimization and removing internal obstacles to improve marketing efforts be prioritized in 2013?
