A landing page is a focused web page created for a specific marketing goal such as collecting leads, registrations, calls, bookings, downloads or purchases. Unlike a normal website page, a landing page should have one clear purpose, one strong offer and one main action. It connects advertising, social media, email and WhatsApp campaigns with measurable business results.
This chapter helps students design and review landing pages for better lead generation and conversion.

A landing page is a web page where users arrive after clicking an ad, social media post, email link, WhatsApp message, search result or campaign button. Its goal is to convince the visitor to take one specific action such as filling a form, calling, booking, downloading, registering or buying.
For example, if a training institute runs a Meta Ad for a Digital Marketing demo class, the ad should send users to a landing page that explains the demo class, course benefits, practical modules, trainer details, testimonials and a simple registration form.
This activity helps students understand how landing pages are different from normal website pages.
