A product page can offer a broader range of information other than that of product and users can navigate through as a part of the website
While Landing pages are laser-focused pages designed to drive the next action – often Checkout and aren’t mostly part of navigation on the website. They cannot be reached from the website, but from standalone page only.

Optimizations
- For premium products in non-apparel category minimize the use of human elements and focus more on product and good lighting
- Don’t just have good to look asestheitc product images in the top, also include text in those images to convey the USP and benefits
- Create associations between product and other things similar to product by having them in background of the product photography
- Use video-based reviews for products which are solution based (Ex: Supplement)
- Images should be tightly tied to use-case based and product-in-action photos
