The art of the thank you page

Author Lisa Smith

The humble thank you page offers surprisingly helpful potential benefits such as:

  • Nurturing a visitor’s interest
  • Helping increase page depth, which factors into Google’s SEO algorithm
  • Creating a friendly, approachable feel

It’s also a functional guide for the visitor, and needs to accomplish the following: 

  • Thank them
  • Validate that their form submission was received correctly
  • Set expectations about what happens next (if anything)
  • Provide a link back to the page they were on before they filled out the form, if applicable. (In Drupal you can utilize the parent page field to create a breadcrumb link in the header.)
  • Give them more content to explore
