What is a landing page?
A landing page is a single web page dedicated to the promotion of a product, service, or digital asset. It sits at the bottom of the marketing funnel with the singular goal of turning visits into conversions via a call to action (CTA). You can use landing pages to boost sales for a specific product or collect emails for subscriptions to a service.
