    What is the difference between a landing page and a homepage?

    Reviewed by Taylor Moses, Co-Founder, Strategy & Web·

    Direct Answer

    A homepage is the main entry point of a website with broad navigation to every section. A landing page is a single-purpose page built for one audience and one CTA — usually the destination of a paid ad or email link. Landing pages typically convert 2–4x higher than homepages for the same paid traffic.

    A homepage is the main entry to a site. A landing page is single purpose with one CTA, built for one campaign.

    1. Homepage: brand-level entry point — overview of services, trust strip, multiple CTAs.
    2. Landing page: campaign-specific — one offer, one audience, one CTA, no nav distractions.
    3. Use a landing page for paid traffic (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, email blasts).
    4. Use the homepage for branded organic search and direct traffic.
    5. Landing pages typically convert 2–4× higher than homepages for paid traffic.

    Strip navigation from landing pages. Every link off the page is a chance to lose the conversion.

    Build separate landing pages per campaign — same offer, different audience messaging.
