: What's a landing page? The marketing team says I need a landing page. What is that and why should I bother?

LANDING PAGES

Landing pages are highly optimized web pages that produce better results than the average web page.

There are two type of landing pages:

1) Content landing page, optimized to cover a specific question or task with loads of great content. These are made for search engines and users. (Great for indexing and organic search)

2) Task Landing pages, optimized for a very specific task. These pages are tested over time with A/B testing and Heat Mapping (And changed based on test results). Built around users and search.(Normally used with PPC Ads)

As far as marketing goes. The thing to be understand here is that landing pages are built for someone other than you. They are build around what makes action happen. The action they produce is what you are optimizing for.

MOST IMPORTANT: Landing pages have a very focused "call to action". If a Landing page doesn't ask you to do something, read more or contact us for example, it is not a landing page.

A landing page is the page that appears when a user clicks on an ad. It can be a bit more targeted than just your home page.
