Utilize a landing page to insert your services, products, or campaigns specifically. This is where a visitor goes once they click an online ad from your business. Landing pages are one of the most effective efforts one can make to generate leads, traffic, or sales to your website design. Make sure that your landing page has excellent copywriting and is simple to navigate so it won’t be seen as spammy or a vicious ad.
