How do you create relevant landing pages to capture organic traffic?

Landing pages play a key role in acquiring organic traffic and optimizing conversion rates. Well-designed landing pages attract qualified visitors, improve SEO (search engine optimization) and guide visitors towards a specific action (purchase, registration, download).

In this article, we'll look at how to structure and optimize a landing page to capture maximum organic traffic and improve your e-commerce site's performance.

Why create SEO-optimized landing pages?

A well-optimized landing page meets a specific need and enables :

  • Attract qualified traffic by answering web users' queries.
  • Improve conversion rates by facilitating the desired action (purchase, contact, registration).
  • Optimize natural referencing by targeting strategic keywords.

Unlike a home page, which presents a site in its entirety, a landing page is designed to respond to a specific intention and guide the user towards a clear action. It's an excellent lever to support the overall SEO strategy, and fits perfectly into aproduct catalog optimization approach (see our tips for optimizing a product catalog).

Identify user needs and research intentions

Before creating a landing page, it's essential to understand what web users are looking for and what objective you want to achieve.

Identifying search intentions

  • Informational intent: Users are looking for advice, tutorials or comparisons.
  • Transactional intent: Internet users are ready to buy or take action.
  • Commercial intent: They compare several options before deciding.

Examples:

  • For informational purposes: create a page on "How to choose a smartphone according to its use".
  • For transactional intent: optimize a product page with clear sales arguments.

To support this approach, you can also draw on best practices forenriching product information (see how to enrich your product sheets).

Use analysis tools

  • Google Search Console: query analysis.
  • Google Trends: trend detection.
  • SEMrush, Ahrefs: tracking keywords and top-ranked pages.

Structuring an effective landing page

A catchy, optimized title

It must contain the main keyword and be precise about the purpose of the page.

An engaging introduction

Summarize the purpose of the page in a few lines and reassure the visitor.

Structured content for SEO

Use :

  • H1, H2, H3 tags to organize content.
  • Bulleted lists, comparative tables.
  • Secondary keywords to enrich the page.

The user experience must remain fluid: here, the same techniques used to improve the quality of product data are applicable to your landing pages.

Visible calls to action (CTA)

The CTA must be clear and attractive:

  • "Buy Now
  • "Ask for a quote
  • "Try it for free

Essential reassurance

  • Customer reviews and testimonials.
  • Labels, certifications, guarantees.
  • Integrated FAQ to overcome objections.

Again, this echoes the best practices seen in our article onimproving product descriptions.
