If your website is a mall, your homepage is the big glass entrance with the fountain. Pretty. Welcoming. Completely useless for
someone who’s sprinting in because they saw a “50% off running shoes” sign.
That’s what landing pages do: they turn “I’m curious” into “I’m in.” And here’s the fun twist: you probably don’t need
one better landing page. You need more landing pagesbuilt around different intents, offers, audiences, and channels.
This guide breaks down the data-backed case for creating more landing pages, plus practical tips (and a few real-world-style
lessons) to help you scale without turning your site into a copy-paste graveyard.
First, what “counts” as a landing page?
A landing page is any page designed to get one specific action from one specific visitor groupusually coming from a specific
campaign or intent (ads, email, social, SEO, partners, you name it). The action might be:
- Request a demo
- Book a consultation
- Start a free trial
- Download a guide
- Join a waitlist
- Buy a product
The “not landing page” list is equally helpful: your homepage, your generic “Services” page, and that “About Us” page you
haven’t updated since your logo had a drop shadow (no judgment; it was a time).
The data: more landing pages can mean more leads
The headline claim“create more landing pages”sounds like work. And it is. But it’s also one of the rare marketing tasks that
can pay you back in both volume and efficiency when done thoughtfully.
1) HubSpot’s lead data: landing page count correlates with lead growth
HubSpot has repeatedly shared research showing that companies with more landing pages generate more leads. One widely cited
benchmark: moving from fewer than 10 landing pages to 10–15 can increase leads by about 55%, and going to 40+
can drive over 500% more leads than having fewer than 10assuming you keep quality and relevance high.
2) A bigger library of pages creates more “ways to win”
Unbounce’s benchmark analysis of tens of millions of conversions reports a broad baseline for landing page performance:
a median conversion rate around 6.6% across industries (Q4 2024). Translation: conversion potential is real,
but it varies wildlyby offer, audience, traffic source, and page execution.
When you have only one or two landing pages, you’re basically betting your whole lead goal on a single lottery ticket.
When you have 20–50 pages tied to different intents and offers, you get a portfolio. Some pages will be “meh.” A few will be
absolute monsters. The portfolio is how you scale.
3) Speed and friction: slow pages lose people (fast)
Google’s mobile research has found that as load time increases from 1 second to 10 seconds, the probability of a mobile visitor
bouncing increases dramaticallyand that page bloat (lots of elements) can be associated with large conversion drops.
You don’t need a PhD to interpret that: people don’t like waiting, and clutter doesn’t help.
Quick reality check (with simple math)
If a campaign sends 5,000 visitors a month to a page converting at 6.6%, that’s about 330 conversions.
Improve to 8% with tighter targeting + better message match and you’re at 400 conversions.
That extra 70 conversions often costs less than buying 1,000 more clicksespecially in competitive paid search.
Why more landing pages work: 7 conversion mechanics
1) Message match (a.k.a. “You promised pizza, so don’t deliver salad”)
Visitors click an ad or search result with a specific expectation. If the landing page headline mirrors the promise, people feel
oriented. If it doesn’t, they feel trickedeven if your product is great.
More landing pages lets you match the message to the intent: “HR compliance checklist” is not the same person as
“best HR software pricing,” and they shouldn’t land on the same generic page.
2) Audience segmentation without mind-reading
The fastest way to improve conversion rates is often not “rewrite the button.” It’s “stop sending everyone to the same page.”
Landing pages allow you to segment by:
- Industry (healthcare vs. SaaS vs. home services)
- Role (CFO vs. marketing manager vs. operations lead)
- Stage (awareness vs. comparison vs. ready-to-buy)
- Use case (automation vs. reporting vs. compliance)
- Geo or service area (when it’s genuinely relevant and unique)
3) Better measurement (because “traffic” is not a strategy)
When everything goes to one page, you can’t tell what’s working. With dedicated pages, you can tie performance to:
campaign, keyword cluster, audience, and offer.
That makes optimization easierand less reliant on vibes.
4) Lower friction through specificity
Specific pages reduce mental work. Visitors don’t have to decode your navigation, guess which feature applies, or scroll through
three unrelated sections. It’s the difference between:
- “We do a lot of things.” (confusing)
- “Here’s the exact thing you searched for, and how to get it.” (comforting)
5) Quality Score and paid performance
For Google Ads, landing page experience is part of the Quality Score ecosystem (along with expected CTR and ad relevance).
While you can’t “hack” it, you can help it by building relevant pages that are clear, useful, and easy to navigate.
More pages lets you align page content with specific ad groups and search intent.
6) SEO upside (when you avoid thin/duplicate traps)
Done properly, more landing pages can expand your organic footprintespecially for long-tail queries and “solution + problem”
searches. But “more” isn’t permission to publish 200 near-identical pages with the city name swapped.
Duplicate or near-duplicate content can confuse search engines and dilute performance. The goal is a larger library of pages with
distinct value, not a larger library of pages with distinct ZIP codes.
7) Testing becomes a system, not a one-time event
With more pages, you can test more hypotheses fasterheadlines, proof, page layout, form design, and offer framing. And when you
spot patterns, you can roll them out across your whole landing page library.
The biggest myth: “We just need one perfect landing page”
This is like saying, “We just need one perfect outfit.” For whatweddings, gym workouts, job interviews, and beach days?
A single landing page can’t carry:
- Every audience segment
- Every offer
- Every funnel stage
- Every channel
- Every objection
More landing pages isn’t about spamming the internet. It’s about building the right “front door” for each visitor.
What landing pages should you create next?
If “make more landing pages” feels like being told to “eat more vegetables,” here’s the practical way to decide what to build
nextwithout guessing.
Step 1: Start with your highest-intent traffic
- Top paid search ad groups (especially expensive keywords)
- High-converting email campaigns
- Partner/referral traffic that deserves its own narrative
- Organic keywords already ranking on page 1–2 that need a better match
Step 2: Map “offer × audience × stage”
Create a simple matrix:
- Offers: demo, trial, quote, consultation, webinar, guide, calculator, comparison
- Audiences: industries, roles, company size, use cases
- Stages: learn, compare, decide
Each meaningful combination can justify a landing pageif the value and messaging are truly different.
Step 3: Build a reusable page “kit” (so you don’t start from scratch)
Creating more landing pages doesn’t mean creating more chaos. The trick is modular consistency:
- Hero: headline + subhead + primary CTA
- Problem + stakes (what happens if they do nothing?)
- Solution + key benefits (3–6 bullets)
- Proof: testimonials, logos, stats, reviews, case snippets
- Objection handling: pricing, time, setup, risk, switching
- FAQ
- Secondary CTA
Step 4: Put guardrails on SEO and indexation
If you’re creating many pages for campaigns, decide which ones should be indexable. Some paid-only pages may be better
noindexed to avoid duplicate content concerns. For pages you want to rank, ensure each one has substantial unique
content and a clear purpose.
Data-backed tips for higher-converting landing pages
Tip 1: One page, one job
Remove competing CTAs. If your page goal is “Book a demo,” don’t also push “Subscribe,” “Read the blog,” and “Follow us on
TikTok.” (Unless your demo is on TikTok, in which case: respect.)
Tip 2: Earn attention fast with clarity
In the first screen, answer:
- What is this?
- Who is it for?
- What do I get?
- What do I do next?
Tip 3: Use proof like a grown-up
“Trusted by innovative companies” is the marketing version of “My mom says I’m handsome.” Add proof people can evaluate:
- Specific testimonials tied to outcomes
- Before/after metrics (even directional ranges)
- Short case snippets
- Reviews, ratings, or verified badges (where relevant)
Tip 4: Make forms feel safe and worth it
Fewer fields can helpbut not always. A well-known CXL case study showed that simply removing fields didn’t automatically win;
the best result came from testing form structure and reducing friction thoughtfully, leading to large opt-in gains in the final
winning variation.
Practical rule: only ask for what you will actually use next. If you don’t need phone numbers to deliver the offer,
don’t ask for phone numbers. (People have been through enough.)
Tip 5: Reduce bloat for mobile visitors
Mobile speed isn’t a “nice-to-have.” Google’s research on mobile landing pages has highlighted how slow, bloated pages increase
abandonment and reduce conversion probability. Keep pages lean:
- Compress images, avoid auto-playing video as a default
- Limit third-party scripts
- Use one primary font family (two max)
- Keep above-the-fold clear and fast
Tip 6: Create “comparison” pages for high-intent shoppers
If you sell a product or service people research, build landing pages that address comparison intent:
- “X vs Y” (fair, accurate, and helpful)
- Alternatives pages (“Best alternatives to…”)
- Pricing explainer pages (with transparent ranges or packages)
Tip 7: Give every page a single measurable conversion
A landing page without a clear conversion definition is just a brochure with Wi-Fi. Decide what counts:
lead form, scheduled meeting, checkout, signup, downloadand measure it consistently.
5 landing pages you can build this month (without reinventing your brand)
- Industry page: “How we help [industry] teams solve [pain]” with proof from that industry.
- Use-case page: “Automate [workflow]” or “Reduce [risk]” with a simple “how it works.”
- Offer page: a dedicated page for your lead magnet, webinar, or assessment (not buried behind a popup).
- Comparison page: help people evaluate you vs. a category or competitor honestly.
- Retargeting page: a short, proof-heavy page designed for warm audiences who already know you exist.
If you build these with a consistent kit and genuinely unique value per page, you’ll start compounding resultsacross SEO,
paid, and email.
Conclusion: more landing pages is a growth system, not a content dump
Creating more landing pages works because it aligns marketing with reality: different people want different outcomes, at
different moments, from different channels. A single generic page can’t do that job.
Use the data as motivationbut use the tips as the method. Build pages around intent, keep them fast and focused, add proof,
test continuously, and protect your SEO by avoiding thin duplication. Do that, and “more landing pages” turns from a to-do list
into a lead-generation engine.
Experience Notes : What usually happens when teams commit to more landing pages
When teams decide to create more landing pages, the first week is usually a mix of excitement and mild panic. Excitement because
the strategy makes sense. Panic because everyone realizes their “landing page process” is currently a sticky note that says
“make it look good.”
Here are the most common, practical lessons that show up after a team builds (and actually uses) a bigger landing page library.
Think of these as the “field notes” version of the data.
1) Your biggest win is often message match, not design
The fastest improvements tend to come from aligning the page to the exact promise that drove the click. A team might run ads for
“free estimate in 24 hours” but send visitors to a generic services page that opens with “Welcome to our website.” The moment
they build a dedicated “24-hour estimate” landing pagewith a clear headline, a short form, and a simple explanation of how the
estimate worksconversion rates jump without any fancy visuals. It’s not magic; it’s relief. Visitors feel understood.
2) “More pages” forces you to finally define your offers
A surprising benefit of creating more landing pages is that it makes vague marketing painfully obvious. If you can’t write a
specific landing page, it’s often because the offer itself is fuzzy. Teams end up clarifying what the visitor gets, what happens
after they convert, how long it takes, what it costs (or at least what it typically costs), and who it’s for. That clarity
improves everything: ads, emails, sales calls, even onboarding.
3) Your “template” becomes a growth assetif you treat it like one
Teams that scale successfully don’t hand-design every page from scratch. They build a modular kit: hero, proof, benefits,
objection handling, FAQs, and a CTA section that can be rearranged depending on intent. Over time, they learn which modules
matter for which traffic source. Paid search pages often need sharper proof and faster clarity; SEO pages may need deeper detail
and stronger internal linking; partner pages need credibility-by-association and co-branded language.
4) You discover “silent winners” and “loud losers”
With only one landing page, you can’t see patterns. With many pages, you start spotting surprises:
- A low-traffic page converts at an absurd rate because it matches a very specific intent (“compliance audit checklist”).
- A high-traffic page performs poorly because the offer is mismatched (“free trial” traffic landing on “book a demo”).
- An industry page outperforms a feature page because it tells a story people actually recognize.
Those insights are where the compounding starts. You build more pages like the winners, and you fix the losers with targeted
changes instead of site-wide guesses.
5) The biggest mistake is cloning without adding value
The fastest way to ruin a “more landing pages” strategy is to create 30 pages that are basically the same paragraph with
different keywords swapped in. Visitors feel it. Search engines feel it. Your team feels it (because no one wants to maintain
that). The teams that get the best results keep a consistent structure but make the value truly distinctdifferent proof,
different objections, different examples, different FAQs, and sometimes even different offers.
6) A/B testing becomes easierand less dramatic
When you have many pages, testing stops being a high-stakes argument about button colors and starts being a normal operating
rhythm. You test headlines, proof order, form framing, and page length. You learn which traffic sources need more reassurance
and which need less friction. Over time, the “best practices” become your own best practicesbased on your audience, not a
generic checklist.
The takeaway: creating more landing pages isn’t about publishing more pages for the sake of it. It’s about creating more
relevant paths for real people. When the pages are purposeful, measurable, and genuinely helpful, the strategy
stops feeling like extra work and starts feeling like a growth flywheel.
