Evaluate the performance of your landing pages

Why landing pages are important

A landing page is the page on your website where customers land after clicking one of your ads. Effective landing pages are key to getting conversions from your Google Ads traffic. One of the best and easiest ways to get better results from your mobile ads is to improve the speed of your landing pages.

It’s important to regularly check how your landing pages are performing to understand how people are interacting with your webpages. The best place to get an overview of this information is the “Landing pages” page.

For example, in retail, we’ve seen that a 1-second delay in mobile can impact mobile conversions by up to 20 percent.

How it works

The "Landing pages" page gives you a performance breakdown for the pages you’re sending traffic to from your ads. This page reports on all landing page URLs from Search, Display, Video, and Shopping campaigns. For Search campaigns, the “Landing pages” report shows sitelink URLs in addition to headline URLs. This report shows sitelink URLs for all ads that were served, starting January 2021.

Note about the “Landing pages” report for Search campaigns:

Multiple sitelinks might show up for a single ad impression. Taking this into account, the report only counts the unique ad impressions as total impressions.

On the “Landing pages” page, you can:

Check the expanded landing pages associated with each of your landing pages.
Identify which of your pages could provide a better experience on mobile devices.
Check for the page’s mobile-friendliness, or if the page loads as a valid Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP).
