Have you ever clicked on an ad or a link to a product that interested you from social media? Well if you have, odds are you ended up on a landing page. What is a landing page you ask? Well, let’s zoom out a bit and take a look.
Driving potential customers to your website is an integral part of making online sales. Let’s say you have ads running on social media or Google promoting products or services that you are hoping to sell. When creating those ads, you’ll have to ask yourself where you want your potential customers to go after they’ve clicked. That is where a landing page comes in.
What Is a Landing Page and What Makes It Unique?
Simply put, a landing page is a page that a person lands on when clicking your link. Unlike other pages on your site, a landing page has a singular goal of leading a potential customer to your desired call to action. A call to action could be to get them to make a purchase, sign up for a service, or to schedule a call or appointment. Whatever your call to action might be, that is the main and only goal of your landing page.
Other pages on your site may encourage the visitor to explore or to look around and dig through your content. Oftentimes these other pages have multiple links that lead to different places on your site. Not your landing page! Getting them to complete your call to action is the only focus of your landing page. We like to say that when someone makes it to your landing page, they should only have two options—complete our desired call to action or get off the page.
