HubSpot Landing Pages: Complete Guide
Quick Summary:
Landing pages are standalone, conversion-focused pages built with HubSpot's drag-and-drop editor, typically centered around a single form submission goal.
What Are Landing Pages?
A landing page is a standalone page built for one specific purpose -- usually capturing a form submission for a specific offer, campaign, or piece of gated content. Unlike a general website page, landing pages are typically stripped of distracting navigation, keeping the visitor focused on a single conversion action.
How to Build One
Go to Marketing → Landing Pages and click Create.
Choose a template suited to your goal (ebook download, demo request, webinar registration).
Build the content using the drag-and-drop editor, keeping the page focused on the conversion goal.
Add a form tied to the specific offer or content being promoted.
Set the page's URL, associate it with a campaign if relevant, and publish.
A Real-World Example
A company launches a new ebook and builds a dedicated landing page describing its value, with a form capturing name, email, and job title in exchange for the download link. The page strips out main site navigation entirely, keeping visitors focused on either filling out the form or leaving -- no distracting menu items pulling attention away from the single conversion goal.
💡 Pro Tip
Remove or minimize site navigation on landing pages built for a specific campaign -- every navigation link is a potential exit point away from the conversion action you actually want the visitor to take.
Frequently Asked Questions
What\'s the difference between a landing page and a regular website page?
A landing page is typically standalone, focused on a single conversion goal (like a form submission), often without full site navigation, whereas regular website pages are part of the broader site structure.

Do landing pages need to be hosted on HubSpot\'s domain?
No, landing pages can use your own connected custom domain, keeping the URL consistent with your main website branding.
Can a landing page use smart content to show different content to different visitors?
