Ability to change a Landing Page's Template

Anonymous · ‎02-15-2011

Currently if you want to change a Landing Page's template you have to clone the page, choose the new template, and approve it. This deletes all statistics for the page. It would be great if you could change the template without loosing all your data.

Is your template being used in other landing pages? If the number is small and the changes don't affect the other pages too much, you can change the original template and save all your stats.

We had moved to 3 templates, one for each major market segment, so the Social links corresponded with the template. But now we've moved back to a single template and need to update it. So ya. Not really.

Well here's hoping to have options to change templates in future enhancements!

I tried changing the landing page template for a few live pages, and when I did, the forms that were on the existing pages disappeared. Did anyone else experience the same issue?

If you are no longer going to use the original landing pages but want to retain the conversion data, can you set up new templates, drive them towards the old url so you don't have to do a 404 redirect and then adjust the url in the original templates to something not in use. That way the data stays with the old templates but just refers to another landing page?

Great workarounds, but nontheless the feature would be a huge improvement.

It looks like this feature was requested over a year ago. I'm wondering if there have been any updates from Marketo on this.

Better yet, put all of your text - headlines, content, etc into tokens. You can do Rich Test Tokens and include images and formatting, or you can do everything very bare-bones as just plain text (I prefer Rich Text with formatting stripped off).

Now you have your content separate from your template. When you create your template, put in the token names in to the HTML. Use common token names across programs - {{my.Body-Copy}}, {{my.Headline1}}, {{my.Footer-Copy}}, {{my.Button-URL}}, etc. Now, when you want to change a template, all you need to do is clone in the new template. You never need to edit the LP. You edit the tokens only, so your marketers feel safer and more comfortable knowing that they don't need to change HTML or JS or anything else in the template.
