CRO & Landing Pages
What Is an Advertorial Landing Page and When Should Ecommerce Brands Use One?
An advertorial is a sales-oriented educational page written in an article-like format. It sits between an ad and the direct product offer.
Its job is to make the customer understand why the product deserves consideration before asking for the purchase.
Good use cases
Advertorials can help when:
- the product solves an unfamiliar problem
- customers need education
- the price needs context
- common alternatives need comparison
- the product mechanism is important
- cold traffic has low awareness
Poor use cases
A familiar low-cost product may not need a 1,500-word explanation. Extra steps can reduce conversion.
Keep it honest
Do not disguise brand advertising as independent journalism or fabricate experts, customer stories or “news” coverage.
Connect smoothly to the product
Pricing, claims and offer should remain consistent when the customer moves to the purchase page.
Measure incremental value
If the advertorial increases total CPA because too few readers proceed, the educational layer may not be justified.
