WHAT IS A LANDING PAGE?


       A landing page, some times
   known as a lead capture page,
   is the page that appears when a
    potential customer clicks on an
  advertisement or a search-engine
               result link.
WHAT IS A LANDING PAGE?


       The page will usually display
 content that is a logical extension of
 the advertisement or link, and that is
     optimised to feature specific
  keywords or phrases for indexing by
            search engines.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT LP?

•  There are two different types of landing pages:
      Reference
      Transactional


•  A reference landing page presents information that is
   relevant to the visitor.

•  A transactional landing page seeks to persuade a visitor to
   complete a transaction with the goal being the immediate
   or eventual sale of a product or service.
