Landing page experience is a two-part piece: The first is how well the landing page answers the promise you made in your ad, and that goes to the keywords you're targeting or the audiences you're targeting. The other piece is a little bit technical, and where you might need to partner with your SEO friends or use a tool that has some of these things baked in. Is the ad bot able to crawl your landing page to generate a quality score? Are you going to be having popups going left, right, and center? –Navah Hopkins, 04:47 I've always considered utilizing SEO or normal site pages as huge distractions for PPC campaigns. Typically with PPC campaigns, someone knows where they're going to go. You want to keep them in that funnel and follow that call to action, so they will make that purchase...Whereas SEO, we're doing the exact opposite. –Loren Baker, 10:07 If we want experiences that are curated, we need to know how to say yes. Because that's another thing: what does that experience look like? And we can talk about that in terms of what cookie consent looks like on the landing page. –Navah Hopkins, 18:00 [00:00] - About Nava.

More importantly, your landing pages are likely being served to people that aren't as relevant. So...include as an audience signal some of your competitor websites. –Navah Hopkins, 31:17 One of the things that I would encourage every consumer to think about is whether you want the experience of walking down New York City and seeing billboards everywhere. Or whether you want an experience of, “I went into a pop-up store that I sought out, and I have this very curated shopping experience specifically for me.” No judgment either way, but bear in mind that advertisers and SEOs only have the data that we consented to give. –Navah Hopkins, 14:34 I think this new visual era is...one of the areas where this is a good time to fail fast and test playing with video, playing with display, ads, and content. See how you can adjust your landing pages to capitalize on that. –Navah Hopkins, 11:53 For more content like this, subscribe to our YouTube channel: /user/searchenginejournal Are you looking to keep up with current and effective digital marketing today?
