A landing page gives farmers and rural buyers a clear reason to enquire when it gets to the point fast: one offer, one obvious next step and an easy way to call. If your customer is comparing suppliers on a phone between jobs, the page needs to answer two questions quickly: “Can you solve my problem, and can I reach you?”

As an agricultural marketing agency, we often see suppliers paying for clicks but sending visitors to a general website page instead of a page built around the product or service they need.

A visitor looking for water tanks should land on a page about water tanks. Someone looking for stock troughs should see the relevant range and enquiry options straight away. The page should match the need that brought them there.

“Poly water tanks delivered across North Queensland” tells a buyer more than “Quality products for every need”. It identifies the product and service area before they have to scroll.

For paid campaigns, keep navigation focused on what helps the buyer decide. Links to unrelated products, careers or general company news can distract from the enquiry.

For example, the first screen of a water tank landing page could contain:

  • Headline: Poly water tanks delivered across North Queensland.
  • Image: A clear product photo showing the tank being offered.
  • Key details: Available sizes and delivery areas.
  • Contact options: “Call about delivery” and “Request a quote”.

That gives the visitor enough information to recognise the offer and take the next step. Specifications, delivery details and customer proof can follow further down the page.

Start with the job your customer needs done: a bore pump that won’t prime, a header that needs servicing before harvest or finance for a block of country. Explain how you can help, then place company history further down the page where it supports the decision.

Use the language your customers use for that particular job. A pump repair page needs clear information about faults, servicing and coverage. A livestock equipment page needs details relevant to the operation and stock being managed. Specific explanations demonstrate understanding more effectively than a list of agricultural terms.

For a complex or expensive purchase, a buyer may want to talk through the job before requesting a quote. Put your phone number near the top of the page and repeat it beside the enquiry form. On mobile, make it a tap-to-call button.

Show the hours you answer and explain when customers can expect a callback. If you return calls after hours, say so. Only offer a response time you can reliably meet.

Track phone-link clicks and form submissions separately. A tap on a phone number shows intent to call; it doesn’t confirm that a conversation took place. Where call tracking is available, use connected calls and qualified enquiries to help judge campaign performance.

Ask for the information you need to respond: name, mobile number, what they need and where the property is. Location helps you establish whether you can service the customer and what delivery or travel might involve.

Leave detailed questions for the first conversation unless they’re necessary to assess the enquiry. Explain what happens after someone sends the form, including when you’ll get back to them.

Use a button label that describes the action. “Request a quote” or “Ask for a callback” is clearer than “Submit”.

Connection quality matters when your customers are accessing the page from rural and remote properties. ABARES’ survey, Information and communication technology use in Australian agriculture, found that farmers in remote areas using mobile phone or satellite internet connections were more likely to report inadequate internet access as an impediment to using ICT.

In practice, that means:

  • Compress images and avoid background video.
  • Use a simple mobile layout with key information available early.
  • Keep your phone number and service details accessible without opening pop-ups or waiting for interactive elements.
  • Test the page on a throttled mobile connection as well as office wifi.
  • Check that the form works and shows a clear confirmation after submission.

A polished design is useful only if customers can load the page, read the offer and contact you.

A useful testimonial helps the buyer recognise a situation like their own. With the customer’s permission, include their name, region, type of operation and what your product or service helped them achieve.

A real property photo can add context, particularly when it shows the product installed or the work completed. Keep examples specific and use genuine customer material.

Add practical reassurance alongside that proof: delivery areas, service radius, warranty terms and how quickly you respond. These details help customers decide whether you’re a suitable supplier before they call.

Your offer, timing and delivery promises should reflect what’s happening in the customer’s region and operation. A servicing campaign ahead of harvest needs different messaging from an urgent breakdown offer during it.

Check that seasonal pages show current availability and realistic lead times. If a buyer needs equipment installed before a particular stage of the season, explain when they need to enquire.

Our seasonal farming cycles marketing calendar can help you plan when to run each offer. For the next step, how to target rural and regional audiences with Google Ads covers getting relevant buyers to the page.

A landing page helps convert the interest you bring to it. You still need a way to reach suitable buyers and follow up on their enquiries.

Our guide to generating leads from farmers beyond social media covers ways to bring suitable buyers into that enquiry process.

For high-value purchases such as machinery, irrigation or land finance, customers may need several visits and conversations before they’re ready to proceed. Judge the page alongside the quality of enquiries and the eventual sales outcome.

Offer a useful next step for buyers who need more information, such as a specification sheet, price guide or callback. Keep it secondary to the main enquiry action so the page remains easy to use. Where appropriate, remarketing can help you stay visible while customers consider their options.

The landing page works best as part of a wider approach that connects your advertising, customer relationships and sales follow-up.

If your ads are getting clicks but the phone isn’t ringing, the landing page is a good place to look first. We review your ads and landing pages together, then identify what needs changing around your offer, enquiry process and the way your customers buy.
