💡 Today’s Insight 💡

Landing pages that land you leads

🗞 TL;DR – Not all landing pages are built the same. Each serves a different stage of your funnel, from awareness to conversion, and picking the wrong type can tank performance. Search Engine Land breaks down seven core types (sales, squeeze, splash, lead-gen, click-through, microsite, and webinar/product launch pages) and emphasizes aligning page intent with visitor intent to drive meaningful results.

💡 Insight – Think of landing pages like tools where each one has a different purpose, and using the wrong one is like hammering a screw. Here’s how to get it right:

Match page type to funnel stage.
Squeeze pages are top-of-funnel magnets that collect emails with minimal friction. Click-through and lead-gen pages live mid-funnel, warming visitors up. Sales or product launch pages close the deal at the bottom.

Remove distractions.
Each page should have a single, measurable goal. Eliminate extra links, navigation, or CTAs that compete for attention. The fewer exits, the higher the conversion rate.

Tailor copy and design to intent.
A lead-gen page needs trust signals (social proof, testimonials), while a sales page thrives on urgency, clear pricing, and strong CTAs. Use benefit-driven headlines and scannable layouts.

Scale smart with programmatic pages.
If you’re running large ad or SEO campaigns, consider templated or dynamically generated landing pages for each audience segment or keyword group. Consistency improves ad relevance and Quality Score.

Test and iterate relentlessly.
Even small tweaks to headlines, button copy, or form length can yield big gains. A/B testing isn’t optional. it’s necessary if you want to find the best path to understanding what your audience actually responds to.

🎯 Takeaway – Every campaign deserves its own landing page strategy. Stop sending all traffic to the same generic destination when you have a diverse set of goals. Instead, design pages that mirror where the user is mentally and emotionally in their journey. When your page intent, traffic source, and funnel stage align, conversions follow naturally.
