Create a Landing Page

Mailchimp landing pages help you grow your audience and promote products and services. You can share publish landing pages on the web or in other Mailchimp campaigns, and start to drive traffic immediately. If your page has a signup form, you can tag anyone who subscribes.

In this article, you'll learn how to create and manage a landing page in Mailchimp.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• Take a moment to learn about Landing Pages in Mailchimp.
• Landing pages must be associated with an audience in your account. After you publish your page, you can’t change the audience.
• The landing page builder doesn’t prevent you from publishing default content in your layout. We strongly recommend you preview your landing page and review your settings before you publish.
• iframes and custom HTML can't be used in landing pages.
• Because merge tags pull individual contact data from your audience, they can't be used in public landing pages.
• Your account user level must be Manager or higher to add tags to landing pages.
• Publishing a landing page on a connected custom domain requires a paid Websites plan. To find out what features are included in each plan, check out our pricing page. To change your plan type, visit the plans page in your account.

Create a landing page

First, name your new landing page and choose an audience. If your landing page includes a signup form, new subscribers will be added to this audience.

To create your landing page, follow these steps.

1. Click Create, then click Landing Page.
2. Type a name for your landing page. This name is for your reference, and isn't visible to visitors.
3. Click the Audience drop-down, then select an audience.
4. Click Begin.

Great work! This will take you to the landing page builder.

Design your content

Next, choose a template and add your content. Some templates are specifically designed to collect subscribers or promote products, but you can add a Signup Form content block or product block to any layout.

To design your landing page, follow these steps.

1. Click the template you want to use.
   To learn more about landing page template options, check out Types of Landing Page Templates.
2. In your layout, customize or add content blocks as needed. If you need inspiration, check out our design tips.

To learn more about this placeholder and how to use it, check out Set a Default Logo.
3. Click Preview to see what your page will look like.
4. After you've designed and previewed your content, click Save & Close.

After you save your design, edit your page title and URL, customize your favicon, add tags if necessary, and review your settings and tracking.

Edit your page title

The internal landing page name you entered auto-generates in the Page Title section, but you can edit this as needed. Your page title appears in visitors' web browsers, so make sure it describes the content.

To add a page title, follow these steps.

1. In the Page title and site icon section of the landing page builder, click Edit title and icon.
2. Type the title you want visitors to see in their browser’s title bar, then click Save.
