Landing Pages

It's a fancy name for a simple web page - and it's often the difference between a paid campaign that works and one that wastes your money.

A landing page is a dedicated page built for one specific purpose. If you've run online ads before and didn't see results, it may not have been the ads - it could have been your landing page, or the lack of one. Lazy agencies drive paid traffic straight to a homepage with no clear call to action. That's a great way to waste a lot of money.

Why do I need landing pages?

A landing page is a dedicated page created for a specific purpose. The most common use is as a destination for pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. When a prospect sees an engaging ad and clicks it, you want that link to take them to a dedicated page related to the ad - one with everything they need to take the next step.

If you’ve run online ads in the past without success, the culprit is often the landing page, or the absence of one. Inexperienced marketers drive expensive traffic to a homepage with no specific call to action, and the clicks evaporate.

Squeeze pages and the funnel

Landing pages are often “squeeze pages,” where the usual navigation is stripped away and the entire goal is to get the visitor to take one specific next step. You’ll hear this referred to as “the funnel” - just a name for moving people through a defined process.

A great landing page has one very clear call to action, such as:

  • Contact us
  • Request a quote
  • Buy now

A key part of any paid strategy

Landing pages are a core component of any paid ad strategy, and they’re equally crucial when you’re developing specific offers for inbound marketing campaigns. Get the page right, and every dollar you spend on ads works harder.

Frequently asked questions

What is a landing page, and how is it different from a homepage?
A landing page is a dedicated page built for one specific purpose, usually as the destination for a paid ad or an inbound marketing offer. A homepage has to serve every visitor and offers many paths. A landing page follows through on the ad that brought someone there and asks for one clear action, such as requesting a quote or downloading a guide.
Do I need a landing page for Google Ads or other paid campaigns?
In most cases, yes. Sending paid clicks to a homepage with no specific call to action is one of the most common ways ad budgets get wasted. A dedicated page that matches the ad gives every click a clear next step, so each dollar you spend works harder. We often pair landing pages with paid ad placement.
What is a squeeze page?
A squeeze page is a landing page with the usual site navigation stripped away, so the visitor focuses on one next step, such as filling out a form or downloading a guide. It is a common part of a marketing funnel, which is simply a defined process that moves people from a first click toward becoming a lead or customer.
What happens after someone fills out the form on a landing page?
That depends on how the page connects to the rest of your marketing. We can send new leads into your CRM and start an automated follow-up sequence, so prospects who aren’t ready to buy yet keep hearing from you until they are. Learn more about marketing automation and CRM.
