If You're Ready To Get Serious About Online Marketing, You've Got To Get Serious About Landing Page Development
To build a robust online marketing program, you can't just roll out a 5-page website and expect to start generating leads. It takes more than that. Your company needs to roll out distinct pay-per-click advertising funnels, a wide set of SEO-focused landing pages, and various offers and downloads to capture leads from interested visitors. It takes trying new things, measuring performance, doubling down on successes, and learning from failures.
According to research conducted by Hubspot, companies with 40 or more landing pages generate 12x more leads than those with only 1-5.

So you want to generate 12x more leads, but don't even know what the heck you would build to create 40 landing pages for your company. Here's what 40 landing pages might look like for a B2B technology company:

Not all of these landing pages may be visible on a website's core navigation, and may not be directly navigable. In some cases, they are not even indexed by search engines or discoverable via site search mechanisms.
The lesson - don't assume a website's publicly visible pages in their main navigation is every page. There is often more than meets the eye. When just starting out, the thought of building 40 landing pages is an ambitious number for sure, but many websites of successful mid-market companies have hundreds of landing pages serving various purposes and doing the heavy lifting in their online lead generation efforts.
Establishing a regular content schedule to produce landing pages for your website to support your advertising and SEO efforts is an activity than can pay big dividends on your lead-generation efforts as time passes.
Types Of Landing Pages
Your Site Needs
One thing is clear, to build a successful online marketing program you need landing pages - and a lot of them. Not all landing pages are the same though, there are various types of landing pages all of which support different components of an online marketing program. Building an adequate landing page infrastructure can help you:
- Substantially increase traffic to your website
- Educate prospecting buyers about your company's offerings
- Build subscribers to your email list for ongoing nurture
- Capture leads from site visitors who are ready for sales
- Support your online advertising efforts
The landing pages can support your pay-per-click advertising efforts on various channels like:
- Google Search
- YouTube
- LinkedIn Ads
- Twitter Ads
- Reddit Ads
- Facebook Ads
Pay-per-click landing pages typically are not connected to the main website and are designed to provide a specific post-click landing experience to support a specific campaign or ad.
These types of landing pages are designed to attract organic search traffic from search engines like:
- Bing
- Duck Duck Go
These types of landing pages are long-form and content-rich landing pages and are often optimized for specific search keywords. SEO landing pages are an area where many companies are grossly under-investing.
Squeeze pages are extremely basic landing pages designed to promote a single offer in exchange for an email address. They get their name because the goal is to squeeze an email address out of a visitor, a la, a squeeze page.
Much like a squeeze page, a lead capture page is a very basic landing page but is typically not designed to promote an offer for an email address, but rather to capture a lead via a form fill. These pages are typically the second or 3rd page a visitor encounters while browsing your website and the very act of reaching them indicates commercial interest that warrants asking for the sale.
Example lead capture pages:
- Book A Free Consultation
- Request A Demo
