What Is a Landing Page?
A landing page is a focused web page built around a single goal — usually converting a specific visitor into a lead. Done per-campaign, it is closely related to a microsite.

Why landing pages matter
A general homepage tries to do everything; a landing page does one thing. That focus is what lifts conversion.
Matching the page to the source and intent that brought the visitor is one of the highest-leverage moves in marketing.
What makes a landing page convert
A clear headline, a single obvious call to action, message match to the traffic source, and friction removed.
Landing page vs microsite
A landing page is usually one page; a microsite is a small, purpose-built set of pages for a campaign or audience.
In practice
A landing page built for a paid search campaign should match the exact promise made in the ad that drove the click — a visitor who clicked an ad about 'free ICP audit' and lands on a generic homepage will bounce at a much higher rate than one who lands on a page built specifically around that offer.
A common mistake
Sending paid traffic to a general homepage instead of a dedicated landing page matched to the ad's specific offer is one of the most common and most fixable reasons paid campaigns underperform on conversion rate.
Where it fits
Landing pages sit at the point of first conversion, right after an ad click or referral link — their entire job is completing the promise made by whatever drove the click, which is why a generic landing page breaks the chain a specific ad started.
