Landing pages are fantastic at driving leads and sales, but they’re often not so good at bringing in organic traffic. Why? Because the very factors that help landing pages convert visitors — minimal content, few links, and highly promotional messaging — are pretty much the opposite of what search engines like Google are looking for. But, if you follow some tried-and-trusted methodologies, it’s totally possible to build landing pages that rank well, bring in tons of traffic, and achieve sky-high
