Landing Page
A landing page is a standalone web page built for one campaign and one action, where ad traffic is sent to convert.
What it actually means
A landing page is where the click lands — and unlike a homepage, which serves every possible visitor, it is built for exactly one audience and one action. The message matches the ad that brought the person (a principle called message match), the page makes a single focused ask, and everything that doesn't serve that ask — menus, unrelated links, competing offers — is stripped away. This focus is why dedicated landing pages routinely convert several times better than homepages receiving the same traffic. Load speed matters enormously on mobile, where most ad clicks happen. The landing page is half of every campaign's performance; ads only buy the visit.
Sending ad clicks to your homepage makes people hunt for the offer they clicked on. A simple page with the offer, three reviews, and a booking form will quietly double what your ad spend produces.
