Landing pages are the linchpin of successful Google Ads campaigns, turning clicks into conversions by delivering exactly what users expect after clicking an ad. In 2025, with search behaviors growing more complex and Google’s automation tools like AI Search Max pushing broad, sometimes irrelevant matches, crafting optimized landing pages is more critical than ever. A well-designed landing page boosts ad relevancy, improves Quality Scores, and drives higher conversion rates, all while keeping costs down. At groas, we empower advertisers with AI-driven tools like dynamic copy insertion to create hyper-relevant landing pages that outshine Google’s heavy-handed automation. This comprehensive guide outlines the top Google Ads landing page best practices for 2025, plus a walkthrough of how groas implements these practices to maximize ad relevancy and SEO performance.
A landing page is your chance to fulfill the promise made in your Google Ads ad. When users click, they expect a seamless, relevant experience that matches their search intent. A mismatch leads to high bounce rates, wasted budget, and lower Quality Scores, which increase cost-per-click (CPC) and hurt ad rankings. In 2025, Google’s algorithms prioritize user experience, rewarding landing pages that are relevant, fast, and conversion-focused. Meanwhile, tools like AI Search Max can redirect users to unexpected pages, diluting your control and brand consistency.
Optimized landing pages offer significant benefits:
Your landing page must mirror the ad’s promise and the user’s search intent. If your ad promotes “20% off eco-friendly yoga mats,” the landing page should prominently feature that offer, not a generic yoga product page.
Page speed is critical for user experience and Quality Scores. Research shows users bounce after three seconds of loading, and slow pages hurt Google’s ranking signals.
A strong CTA guides users toward the desired action, whether it’s buying, signing up, or requesting a quote. Vague or hidden CTAs confuse visitors and lower conversions.
Social proof, like testimonials, reviews, or case studies, builds trust and reassures users they’re making the right choice.
With mobile traffic dominating in 2025, landing pages must be responsive and optimized for smaller screens. Only 50% of landing pages are properly mobile-optimized, leading to high bounce rates.
Tailor landing pages to the user’s context, such as location or time of day, to increase engagement. For example, a user searching “yoga mats in Seattle” expects a localized experience.
A/B testing helps identify what works best for your audience, from headlines to CTAs to page layouts.
Google’s Quality Score algorithm rewards landing pages that closely match the user’s search intent, as this improves ad relevancy and user experience. groas’ dynamic copy insertion ensures that headlines, CTAs, and body text reflect the exact search term, creating a seamless journey from ad to conversion. For example, a user searching “buy eco-friendly yoga mats” sees a landing page headline like “Buy Eco-Friendly Yoga Mats at 20% Off,” signaling high relevance to Google’s crawlers. This precision avoids the pitfalls of AI Search Max’s unpredictable URL expansion, which can send users to generic pages, hurting Quality Scores. By automating relevance without sacrificing control, groas delivers what Google - and advertisers - want: targeted, high-converting experiences.
Once you've connected or created a fresh google ads campaign on groas, navigate to the top right of the page and click on the 'Manage Landing Pages' button.
Add a landing page URL and give this page a name within groas for identification purposes. Now comes the bit of choosing what bits on your landing page you want to dynamically swap out based on the user intent. The most common question we get is how many selectors to include for best results to which we say there is no right or wrong answer. Some of our customers have as many as 15 selectors per page whilst others have as few as 3 and see a big uptick in conversions from just having those alone. This is also super dependent on what your landing page looks like and the niche that you're in. Sometimes less is more.
Giving groas the information on which selectors to swap out is easy. Simply highlight the text in your browser, right click the highlighted section and click the 'Inspect' button.
Clicking 'Inspect' will open the dev tools on your browser and highlight the HTML of the text you just selected. All you have to do is right click the highlighted text and click 'Copy Selector'. You can then go back into groas and paste the CSS of the copied selector into the CSS Selector field.
The final step is to give groas as much context as possible as to what this selector does on the page. Tell groas the purpose of this piece of content on the page and some instructions for how it should generate new content for it in future. If you want to do any funky formatting then make sure to tick the 'Formatted Text' button otherwise leave as is for it to render in the same style as what the original content was.
You can add as many selectors as your heart desires and once thats all done simply click 'Create Landing Page' and groas will start automatically generating custom variations of your base landing page to match the keywords in your campaign. Now you can sit back, relax and watch groas scale your camapigns to heights previously never imagined.
