Landing page

The page people reach after clicking an ad. It must load fast on a phone, say what the ad promised, and hold the form or phone number the account counts.

Why it matters

The ad wins the click; the page wins the customer. A page that is slow, off topic or missing the form loses people the account has already paid for.

Google also grades landing page experience as part of Quality Score, so a poor page raises what every click costs.

Where to find it in Google Ads

  1. Open Insights and reports, then Landing pages, for every page your ads use with its clicks and conversions.
  2. Check the Mobile-friendly click rate column where available.
  3. Open each top page on a phone and try to convert.
  4. Compare conversion rate between pages that receive similar traffic.

An example

An accountant sends ads about tax returns to the home page, which talks about all services. A page about tax returns with the price and a short form doubles the conversion rate of the same clicks.

Common mistakes

  • Sending every ad to the home page.
  • Leaving pages that load slowly on a phone.
  • Hiding the form or phone number below long blocks of text.

Checks that look at it

Questions, answered.

What makes a good Google Ads landing page?

It repeats the ad's promise, loads fast on a phone, makes the next step obvious, and has the form, number or buy button the account counts.

Should each ad group have its own landing page?

Ideally each distinct offer or service has a page about it. Ad groups about the same thing can share one.
