What are landing pages good for?
In online marketing, landing pages are used to drive visitors towards conversion by getting them to click through to a specific action. That action could be anything from encouraging users to make a purchase on your online store, to subscribing to your mailing list, or countless other actions. Whatever it is, there should be just one, clearly-defined CTA (call-to-action). As opposed to a full-blown professional website, a landing page is a single page with a highly specific target: getting visitors to click through to your end goal. When done well, a good LP can hugely up your chances of success.

What does this actually mean?
In terms of content, the landing page has one simple message to convey. It promotes the desired action and sticks to explaining the benefits of performing this action.
The design of the page needs to focus on supporting this objective and nothing else. This also means that the web design should be clean and simple, so as to ensure a smooth browsing experience and not to compete for the viewers’ attention.
The ultimate goal of a landing page is to make site visitors click. Both the design and the text of the page need to reflect that, so make sure that all buttons are labeled with clear microcopy and that they stand out against the page’s background.
A landing page, as its name may suggest, is made up of one single page. You can divide it into separate sections, but you should stick to just one page that preferably isn’t too long.
Headers, subheaders, buttons and images need to represent the page’s message in a powerful and effective way, while ensuring that all elements remain cohesive. Check out this selection of best landing page examples for inspiration.
Unless you’re planning on designing your landing page from scratch, make sure you’re using a professional landing page template. This will help ensure that your LP doesn’t only look good, but also has a strong visual hierarchy that instantly leads your visitors exactly where you want them most.

How do landing pages actually work?
In order for the landing page to fulfill its purpose, you first need to drive traffic to it. This can be done in a few different ways:
Utilize the power of email marketing to send the landing page to your subscribers via email.
Post a link to your LP on social networks like Instagram or Twitter (with or without paying for an ad campaign). For more information on that, read about how social media marketing can boost your business.
Add a link to the LP within a blog post. If you don’t already have one, this can be a good opportunity to start a blog and begin reaping the benefits.
Optimize your landing page for search engines, by implementing advanced SEO features that can help boost your chances of getting found by organic (non-paid) search.
Create a PPC ad campaign on search engines and link to the landing page.

These are all good methods to drive traffic to your landing page, but now you need to think about where to send visitors once they’ve clicked on your page. As mentioned earlier, the ultimate goal of a landing page is to get viewers to click, but where is that click taking them?
Will they be redirected to a shopping cart? An online form? An inner page within your company’s main website? Think carefully about the next step and create an easy path for viewers to get there with a single click.
