A landing page is a standalone page Personyze hosts for you at its own web address. There is
no theme to edit and no page to build on your own site — you design it with the same
Canvas Builder canvas used for popups and
banners, choose an address, and publish.

The page carries your tracking code, so forms, goals and personalization behave exactly as they do on your site.

Building one

Start a Landing Page campaign. It has four steps: Page URL,
Content, Automation and Performance. There is no separate targeting
step — the address is the targeting, and who sees which version is decided inside the page editor.

1. Page URL

The Page address card is where you pick the slug your page lives at. Every version you add later is
served at this one URL. Addresses are lower-case letters, numbers and hyphens; spaces and underscores become hyphens.

You can reserve an address before the campaign is saved. Note that addresses are unique across all of
Personyze
, not just your account — a name that looks free can still be refused when you save.

2. Content

The page is designed on the Canvas Builder canvas, so every element is available: headline, image, form, CTA button,
checklist, countdown, coupon, recommendations, testimonials and the rest. If your design contains a Form, a
Where the data goes step appears for choosing its destinations.

Start from a design

A new page opens on a gallery of whole-page designs — pick one and edit it, or start blank:

  • Store — collection launch — editorial retail: a serif hero, the products, and live recommendations.
  • Travel — trip or destination — photography-led: words on the picture, dated fares, one booking form.
  • Software — book a demo — dark hero, the product itself, the numbers, and a demo request.
  • Restaurant — book a table — fine-dining type over a room shot, the week’s menu, and a booking form.
  • Full-width — edge to edge — nothing in a column: split panels and a picture strip that reach both edges of the window.
  • Dynamic — written from who is reading it — every bold value is a live variable with a fallback: name, country, search words, UTM.
  • Product launch — one thing, sold properly — a slider, a rating, a comparison, a stock line and an embed.
  • Thank you page — confirm, say what happens next, and give them one thing to do.
  • Blank page — start from nothing, full width, with the page column already set.

Switching it on — both switches

Three things have to be true before the address answers — miss any one and you get a bare “No such page”.

  1. The Landing Pages module is active on the account. Without it you can still build and preview a page here — it simply will not serve. The panel says so before you type anything: “this account does not have the Landing Pages module, so the page’s public address will answer ‘No such page’. You can build and preview it here — activate the module on the Add-ons page to serve it.”
  2. Page is live — the checkbox in the editor. New pages are created live.
  3. The campaign is published. A draft campaign serves nothing, however live the page is.

Use Preview draft to see the page before any of that is true.

Showing different versions at one address

A landing page can hold several versions — a Default page everyone falls back to,
plus named versions matched first-match-wins and chosen on the server before the page paints, so there is no flicker.

Because the page has no site around it, versions target the traffic that arrived: campaign source,
medium, name, term and content (the utm_* parameters), referrer domain, country, region and city, device,
language, or any URL parameter you name. One address can therefore greet paid search, an email blast and organic
traffic completely differently.

A/B testing

Switch on Activate A/B testing and Personyze asks what you want to test:

  • The actions on the page — everyone lands on the same page; what changes between groups is
    the popup or bar shown on it.
  • The page itself — each group gets its own page, all served at the same address.

Choosing the page itself asks where the second group’s page comes from: a copy of the one you have
(the usual choice), a blank page, or a page you already have on your own site as a
control group — visitors are redirected to it with a real server redirect, so there is no flash.

  • Each group holds one page.
  • Visitors are held in their group by a first-party cookie, so a reload never reshuffles the variant.
  • Deleting a group rescales the remaining split back to 100%.
  • Turning A/B testing off keeps Group A’s page only — the other groups’ pages are discarded, not merged.
A control group pointing at your own site is only measured if that page carries the Personyze
tag
. Without it the redirect works and the results are blank.

Using your own domain

Pages can be served from a subdomain of your own, such as go.yourbrand.com (a subdomain — not
your root domain, and not www). Publish the two DNS records shown, click Check DNS, and
the certificate is issued and renewed for you.

Until then the page is served from the Personyze address and is kept out of search engines.
Indexing becomes possible only once the page serves from your verified domain.

Finding your pages

Landing Pages in the sidebar lists every page, its address, whether it is live, and the campaign
behind it. Open a page to edit it via its campaign. If a campaign is deleted its address stays reserved — use
Release address there to free it.

Before you launch

  • The page’s host must be in your account’s domain list, or nothing is recorded — no visits,
    no goals, no form submissions and no A/B results. This is the most common reason a page “works” but reports
    nothing.
  • Interactive elements that need JavaScript do not animate on a hosted page. A countdown shows its
    starting figures, the prize wheel does not spin, the progress bar does not fill, and the coupon copy button does not
    copy. Text, images, forms, buttons and recommendations are unaffected.

What it costs

Hosted landing pages are a paid module — Hosted Landing Pages, activated on the Add-ons page. It includes:

  • Unlimited pages and unlimited custom domains.
  • 25,000 hosted page views included every month.
  • Personalization and A/B testing built in.

The billable unit is a hosted page view — a visitor loading one of your hosted pages. Views beyond the monthly allowance are charged in blocks of 1,000. There is a seven-day free trial.

Pages served from your own domain count the same as pages on the Personyze address: it is the same hosting either way.
