Spent money on ads or SEO to get people to your site. Traffic shows up, but then… nothing. No form fills, no calls booked, no sales. You check the analytics and think “where did they go?” That happens because the page they landed on didn’t do its job.
In 2026 this is even more critical. Google cares a lot about how the page actually feels to real people — speed, ease of use, no weird jumps. If it’s slow or confusing, they push you down in rankings. Visitors decide in a few seconds whether to stay. A good landing page keeps them there and gets them to act. A bad one wastes every click and dollar you paid to bring them.
Speed is non-negotiable now
If the page takes longer than 3 seconds to load on a phone, half the people leave before they even see your offer. Mobile is where most traffic comes from, and not everyone has fast Wi-Fi. I’ve seen clients lose 40–60% of visitors just because the hero image was too big or there was too much code loading.
Quick things that usually fix it:
- Compress images (TinyPNG is free and works well)
- Use modern formats like WebP
- Turn on lazy loading for anything below the first screen
- Minify CSS and JavaScript (plugins like Autoptimize help)
- Host on something decent (cheap shared hosting kills speed)
Test every change with PageSpeed Insights. Aim for green on mobile.
One goal per page
A homepage tries to do ten things at once. A landing page should do one: get the visitor to take a single action. Book a call. Buy the product. Download the guide. That’s it.
When someone clicks an ad or a search result, they have a specific thing in mind. If the page matches that need right away — same headline, same offer, no distractions — they’re way more likely to convert. We’ve seen conversion rates jump from 1–2% to 10–12% just by removing the menu, footer links, and extra sections.
Trust has to be instant
People hesitate before giving their email or card details. They look for signs you’re real and safe.
What helps:
- Real testimonials with names and photos (not fake ones)
- Trust badges (secure checkout, money-back guarantee)
- Short video or before/after images
- Clear contact info or physical address
One client added a 15-second video of the owner talking about the service. Conversions went up 35% because people felt they were dealing with a real person.
Mobile is the main battlefield
Over 60% of visits are on phones. If the page isn’t built for mobile first, you lose most of your chance before it even starts. Buttons need to be big enough to tap, text needs to be readable without zooming, images need to resize properly.
Test on a real phone with a normal connection — not just Chrome DevTools. The difference is huge.
Matching the promise
The ad or search result made a promise. The landing page has to deliver it immediately. If the ad said “Free SEO Audit”, the page should say “Free SEO Audit” in the first line, with a big button to claim it. Any mismatch makes people feel tricked — they leave and don’t come back.
We always make sure the headline, offer, and button copy line up exactly with whatever brought the visitor there.
Quick checklist for a strong landing page
- Loads under 3 seconds on mobile
- Clear headline that matches the traffic source
- One big, obvious call-to-action button
- Trust signals (testimonials, badges, real photos)
- No extra navigation or distractions
- Mobile layout works perfectly
- Consistent message from ad to page
