Landing Page
A standalone web page built for a specific campaign or traffic source, designed around one conversion goal such as a sign-up or purchase.
The landing page is where paid clicks turn into leads or sales, so its relevance and clarity directly set conversion rate, cost per acquisition and, in Google Ads, the landing page experience component of Quality Score.
A payroll software company sends its 'payroll for restaurants' search ads to a page with a matching headline, three benefit points, two customer logos and a four-field demo form, instead of the generic homepage.
A single page cannot fix weak traffic targeting or an unattractive offer. Building many campaign pages without upkeep creates outdated content, near-duplicate pages and tracking gaps, so each page needs an owner and an indexing decision.
Lead generation pages use a form as the Call to Action (CTA) and often exchange a resource for contact details, while click-through pages use a button that leads to checkout or sign-up. Key elements are message match with the ad, a single goal, limited navigation, social proof and fast loading. Google Ads rates landing page experience per keyword as above average, average or below average, and this rating is one input to Quality Score.
