Landing Pages vs Product Pages: Pick the Right Canvas

Jordan RiveraJordan Rivera6 min read

Your PDP is a workhorse, but it isn’t always the best persuasion canvas. Here’s when to deploy a dedicated landing page instead—and how to make both fast.

When to use a landing page

Use LPs for campaigns with a single promise, for bundles, or when you need narrative sequencing that PDPs don’t provide.

When the PDP wins

Use the PDP for high-intent traffic, SKU-specific searches, and returning customers who already know the basics.

Wireframe essentials

LP: hook, promise, proof, mechanism, offer, FAQs, social. PDP: hero, options, price, proof, details, shipping.

  • One primary CTA; keep secondary low contrast
  • Sticky ATC on mobile
  • Compress images and inline critical CSS

Routing and tracking

Send cold social to LPs; send branded/search to PDPs. Keep UTMs consistent and attribute by entry page + session intent.

Speed as a competitive edge

Minify, preload key assets, lazy-load below-fold media, and audit scripts quarterly. Faster pages convert and cut CAC.
