Why should you be using a landing page for your ads? The real question is- why wouldn't you? Landing pages help increase your conversion rates and lower your cost-per-acquisition.
Having a singular purpose to convert website visitors into leads or customers, landing pages focus on two things; attention ration, and message match. A successful landing page will have a 1:1 attention ratio, removing any link or page that doesn't represent your conversion goal. Message match is when your landing page accurately reflects the ad copy that got visitors to your site in the first place!
