version: "1.0.1" name: landing-page-generator description: When the user wants to create, optimize, or audit campaign landing pages for paid ads, email, or other traffic. Also use when the user mentions "landing page," "PPC landing page," "SEM landing page," "conversion page," "campaign page," "lead capture page," "landing page optimization," "LP conversion," "single-page funnel," or "squeeze page." Not for the main site homepage; use homepage-generator. metadata: version: 1.4.1

Pages: Landing Page

Guides campaign landing page structure, conversion flow, and optimization. Primary use: Paid ads (PPC/SEM) — landing pages are typically built to receive paid traffic; ad-to-page alignment is critical for conversion. See paid-ads-strategy for when to use paid ads and ad-to-page alignment principles. Also applies to affiliate signup, product launch, lead capture, webinar registration, and other single-goal conversion pages. Scale: When building many landing pages (city-specific, product-specific, integration-specific), use programmatic-seo (template + data) and template-page-generator for template design. Differs from homepage (multi-purpose) and product pages (catalog).

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Paid Ads: LP Requirements

When LP receives paid traffic: ad promise on page immediately; mobile-first (CTA above fold, fast load); minimal form (fewer fields); trust above fold. See paid-ads-strategy for full ad-to-page alignment and Quality Score.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, audience, and value proposition.

Identify:

1. Page goal: Signup, purchase, lead capture, webinar, download
2. Traffic source: Paid ads, email, affiliate, organic
3. Audience: Cold vs warm; segment if known

Landing Page Structure (5-Step Flow)

Every element should serve one of these five functions. Pages with multiple competing offers get ~266% fewer leads.

Headline Formula

[Who it's for] + [Specific outcome] + [Time/qualifier]

• Avoid: Abstract promises ("Unlock your potential," "Transform your business")
• Prefer: Concrete ("Cut invoice processing by 70%—without new software")

CTA Best Practices

• One primary CTA: No competing actions; create a "one-way street" toward conversion
• Above the fold on mobile: Thumb-reachable; ~65%+ traffic is mobile
• Value-focused copy: "Start Free Trial" not "Submit"
• Pair with trust signals: Customer count, logos, or stats next to the button
• Remove or minimize navigation: Can increase conversion 2–28%

Programmatic Landing Pages (Scale)

When you need many landing pages (e.g., city-specific, product-specific, integration-specific), use programmatic-seo: one template + data = hundreds or thousands of LPs. Apply landing page structure (5-step flow, CTA, trust) to the template; see template-page-generator for template design. Example: "[Product] for [City]" LPs with local data; "[App A] + [App B]" integration signup pages.

Page Types

Landing Page ↔ Page Types (Content & Flow)

Pull content from (step 2–4):

• customer-stories-page-generator: Testimonials, case studies for social proof; Challenge→Solution→Results snippets
• faq-page-generator: Objection-handling FAQ section; reuse conversion-related Q&A
• features-page-generator: Benefit-first feature copy for "Explain value" step
• resources-page-generator: Lead magnet (ebook, template) as exchange for email; webinar as resource

CTA sends to:

• pricing-page-generator: Click-through LP → pricing; signup, trial
• products-page-generator: Product LP → product detail or catalog
• services-page-generator: Service LP → contact, quote, booking
• contact-page-generator: Lead capture LP → contact form; B2B demo request
• affiliate-page-generator, creator-program: Partner signup = landing page type

Internal linking:

• Link LP to homepage (brand anchor); about-page (trust); privacy-page (form compliance)
• Avoid orphan LPs: ensure at least one internal link from sitemap, nav, or campaign hub

Performance and Design

• Load time: Under 2.5 seconds; each extra second can cost ~7% conversion
• Mobile-first: Responsive; CTA visible without scrolling
• Visuals: Hero image or video can improve conversion up to 80%
• Frontend aesthetics: For distinctive typography, motion, spatial composition, backgrounds—see brand-visual-generator Frontend Aesthetics
• Disclosure: FTC-compliant affiliate/paid disclosure when applicable
