Google Ads describes landing page experience using things like the usefulness and relevance of the page, ease of navigation, the number of links, and the expectations users have from the ad they clicked (Google Ads Help). In other words, the page should continue the conversation the ad started.

Check three lines side by side:

1. The search term people typed.
2. The headline of your ad.
3. The main heading of your landing page.

If someone searches “GST billing software for retail shop” and your ad says “Billing software from ₹3,000/month”, the page heading should name billing software for shops and show that price. A generic homepage forces the visitor to search again.

On a phone, the first screen decides whether people stay. So, without scrolling, a visitor should understand:

• Who it is for: “For clinics in Delhi NCR” or “For B2B manufacturers”.
• What you offer: the specific service, not a list of everything you do.
• Scope: what is included, and the price or starting price if you publish one.
• Exclusions: what is not included, for example “ad spend billed separately”.
• Next step: one primary button or form.

Stating exclusions early may seem risky. However, it filters out people who would never buy, which saves sales time.

Proof works best when it matches the claim on the page. For instance, a page selling website builds should show websites, while a page selling ad management should show how you report on campaigns.

• Use real project examples, with permission, rather than stock images.
• Show reviews or testimonials only if they are genuine and current.
• Add process proof when you lack results you can share: steps, timelines, what the client receives.
• Avoid unverified numbers. A clear process beats a vague “500% growth”.

A form has two jobs. It must be easy enough that good prospects finish it, and specific enough that sales can act on it. As a rule, ask only for fields that change how you respond.

Also, show clear error messages next to the field that failed. A form that silently fails on mobile loses leads you never see.

Google Ads recommends that landing pages be easy to use on small screens, load quickly, and avoid clutter from too many pop-ups (Google Ads Help). For speed, Google’s Core Web Vitals define good as LCP within 2.5 seconds, INP within 200 milliseconds and CLS of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile (web.dev).

Then test the page yourself on a mid-range Android phone over mobile data. Check that buttons are easy to tap, text is readable without zooming, and the form works with the keyboard open.

Many accounts count a “Submit” click as a conversion. That over-counts, because a click can fail validation or be a double tap. Instead, fire the lead conversion only when the form submits successfully, for example on the thank-you state.

• Track WhatsApp and phone clicks as separate, secondary actions.
• Do not import button clicks into Google Ads as primary conversions.
• Test the full path once per action and confirm the conversion appears.

Our guide to tracking qualified leads with GA4, GSC and your CRM shows how to separate clicks, enquiries and qualified leads.

Change one important thing at a time and write down why. A useful hypothesis looks like this: “If we show the starting price above the fold, fewer poor-fit leads will submit, and the share of qualified leads will rise.” Keep the current page as the control, and judge the test on qualified leads, not raw form fills. In addition, run tests long enough to collect a meaningful number of leads before deciding.

Landing page wireframe (text sections)

1. Heading: service + audience, matching the ad.
2. Subheading: scope, starting price if published, key exclusion.
3. Primary action: short form or one button.
4. Proof: one relevant example or process summary.
5. What you get: deliverables in a short list.
6. Objections: three or four direct answers.
7. Final action: repeat the form or button.

Pass/fix checklist

Hypothetical B2B example

Illustrative only. An industrial packaging supplier bids on “corrugated boxes manufacturer”. Its ad says “Custom corrugated boxes, MOQ 1,000”. The first version sent clicks to the homepage, which led with company history. The revised page heading reads “Custom corrugated boxes for manufacturers – MOQ 1,000 units”. It shows box types, a five-field form (product, quantity, size, delivery city, timeline) and a note that orders below 1,000 are not accepted. As a result, the form now screens out very small orders before sales sees them.

Run your current landing page through the pass/fix table above before your next budget increase. For help with campaigns and pages together, see our Google Ads management service, our guide to Google Ads costs in India, or website development for building dedicated landing pages.
