Definition
A squeeze page is the most focused type of landing page, stripped down to essential elements: a compelling headline, brief supporting copy, an opt-in form, and sometimes a simple image. The name comes from 'squeezing' email addresses from visitors by removing all other options. There's no navigation, no links, no distractions—just the offer and the form. Squeeze pages are particularly effective for paid traffic campaigns where you want maximum conversion from each click.
Why This Matters
Squeeze pages achieve the highest opt-in rates of any page type because they eliminate decision fatigue. When visitors have only one action available—subscribe or leave—more choose to subscribe. This focused approach is especially valuable when you're paying for traffic, as every visitor who doesn't convert represents wasted ad spend. Squeeze pages also load faster due to minimal content, improving both user experience and conversion rates. They're the go-to choice when list building is your primary objective.
