Difference Between Normal Web Page vs Landing Page

What Are Landing Pages and Why Do You Need Them for Google Ads?

What Are Landing Pages?


A landing page is a single, focused web page designed for one purpose: to turn a visitor into a lead or customer.


Unlike your normal website pages (which may include menus, blogs, and lots of links), a landing page is like a direct door that guides people straight to the action you want them to take — call, fill out a form, or make a booking.


Studies show that dedicated landing pages convert up to 4 times more effectively than standard website pages, because they cut out distractions and keep the message simple.


The Problems of Sending Google Ads to Normal Web Pages


If you run Google Ads and send people to your homepage or a generic service page, it’s like inviting someone into a supermarket when they only came for milk — too many aisles, too many distractions, and they may leave without buying anything.


Common problems include:


  • Lower conversions – visitors get distracted and click away.
  • Wasted ad spend – you pay for clicks that don’t turn into leads.
  • Confused customers – they don’t see the exact service they searched for.
  • Poor results reporting – hard to measure which ads worked.


👉 The result? Your ads cost more but bring in fewer customers.


The Solution - Use Landing Pages with Google Ads


The fix is simple: create dedicated landing pages for your ads.


These pages match the exact service or keyword people searched for, and focus on one clear action.


That’s why we design and manage landing pages as part of our Google Ads Management in Christchurch service.


When combined with Google Ads, landing pages ensure more clicks turn into real leads.


Customer benefits (why landing pages work) -


  • More conversions – up to 4x higher than standard pages.
  • Better ROI – get more leads without raising ad spend.
  • Clearer results – easily see which campaigns work.
  • Focused message – give customers exactly what they searched for.
  • Less waste – no distractions, no lost clicks.


Example Landing Page Focus Areas


  • ✅ Stump Grinding Christchurch → Page only about stump grinding, form + call button.
  • ✅ Emergency Plumber (City) → Page only about 24/7 plumbing, phone tap-to-call.
  • ✅ Tree Removal (City) → Page only about safe tree removal, quote request form.
  • ❌ Homepage with 10 services, blogs, and links (too many choices = lower leads).


👉 In short - normal web pages inform, but landing pages convert. If you’re running Google Ads, you’ll get far better results by sending people to a page designed to do one thing: win the lead. Start today with Google Ads Management in Christchurch.
