Landing pages for social ads: what one costs

Key takeaways

A landing page for social media ads typically costs an indicative £450–£1,500 in the UK when built on your existing website (6 to 15 hours at £75–£100 an hour). It matches one ad's offer, loads fast on mobile and has one clear action. Sending paid clicks to a generic homepage usually wastes more than the page costs.

• £450–£1,500 per page, indicative.
• One offer, one action, fast on mobile.
• Templates cut the cost of later pages.
• Use your website if a page already matches the ad.

What is a social ads landing page?

A social ads landing page is a single web page built for people arriving from a specific advert. It repeats the ad's promise, answers the main questions, shows proof and asks for one action, such as booking or enquiring. It loads quickly on a phone, because most social clicks are mobile.

When does a landing page pay for itself?

If a page lifts the share of clicks that enquire, every pound of ad spend works harder. On a campaign spending a few hundred pounds a month, a page that improves conversion even modestly can repay its cost within a few months. The larger the ad budget, the faster it pays back.

When will your website do instead?

If an existing service or product page already matches the ad's offer, loads fast and has a clear enquiry button, use it. A separate landing page earns its cost when the offer is specific, such as a seasonal deal or free consultation, and no current page explains it.

What does this look like in practice?

A pattern we see: ads for one specific service send clicks to the homepage, where visitors must find the service themselves. A focused page with the same headline as the ad and one enquiry form usually improves results more than changing the ad.
