What is a Landing Page? Definition, Examples, and Analytics Metrics
A landing page is the first page a visitor reaches during a session. In marketing, the term often refers to a page built for a specific campaign or conversion goal, such as a paid search page, product launch page, lead magnet, or signup page.
Landing pages matter because they shape the first impression and often decide whether a visitor continues, converts, or leaves.
Landing page examples
Common landing page types include:
- Homepage
- SaaS product page
- Pricing page
- Paid search landing page
- Blog article
- Comparison page
- Webinar signup page
- Download page
- Ecommerce product page
- Documentation page
Any page can be a landing page if it is the first page in a session.
Landing page metrics to track
Useful landing page metrics include:
- Sessions
- Unique visitors
- Bounce rate
- Conversion rate
- CTA click-through rate
- Time on page
- Page speed
- Traffic source
- Device type
- Revenue per visitor
Do not judge every landing page by the same metric. A blog post may be successful if it brings organic search traffic and newsletter signups. A pricing page may be successful if it starts trials or sales conversations.
How to improve landing page performance
Start with intent. The headline should match the promise from the ad, search result, referral link, or campaign. Improve page speed, remove distractions, make the CTA clear, explain value quickly, and track the next action.
