What is a Landing Page? Why are they a critical part of your online success?
The Internet these days has become more and more about getting to the point. When people search for "pizza delivery" on their mobile devices, they want Google to figure out what they want for them. People don't want to have to figure out what pizza choice might be best by sifting through a bunch of content and pricing points and making a calculated decision. They expect search engines to do that for them these days - and that is exactly what Google aims to do.
A Landing page gets to the point, and if you haven't included them in your marketing strategy yet then you are potentially missing out on a lot of conversions on leads. Please - let me explain.
