30 Essential Landing Page Statistics

Landing pages are extremely important for any business. They’re designed as standalone web pages that the potential customer ‘lands on’ after interacting with the business – usually from clicking a link, signing up for an email newsletter or clicking on an advert.

Landing pages serve a specific purpose, aiming to capture information about the reader that the business can then use. As such, landing pages are something that any savvy business owner should be aware of, as they can be very lucrative.
