When promoting music, you might wonder whether it's better to send listeners directly to a streaming platform or use a landing page first. At Smart Noise, we recommend using a landing page for optimal results. Here's why.
Benefits of Using a Landing Page for Music Promotion
Improved Engagement & Quality Control
A landing page ensures higher-quality engagement by filtering out bot traffic and accidental clicks. This leads to more meaningful interactions and better results for your promotion.Autoplay Functionality
With Smart Noise's campaign options, you can set a specific song to autoplay when a listener clicks through. This increases the likelihood of them engaging with your track instead of just passively browsing.Better Tracking & Analytics
Using a landing page allows you to track clicks, engagement rates, and other key metrics more effectively. This data helps optimize your campaign and improve future promotions.Higher Retention & Authentic Streams
Directly sending traffic to a streaming platform may lead to superficial plays that don’t translate into engagement. A landing page encourages genuine interest and ensures that listeners are more likely to stay engaged with your music.Flexibility & Customization
A landing page allows you to include multiple call-to-action options, such as pre-saves, merch purchases, mailing list signups, and social media follows—all in one place.
Use Case: Playlist Promotion. One of the most effective ways to use a landing page is for playlist promotion. Instead of sending traffic directly to a playlist, Smart Noise recommends using a landing page to:
Ensure quality engagement and filter out false plays or bot traffic.
Autoplay a selected song from the playlist to maximize exposure.
Track listener behavior to refine promotion strategies.
Drive authentic streams that contribute to better algorithmic performance on streaming platforms.
For music promotions, Smart Noise strongly recommends using a landing page. It helps maintain the quality of streams, prevents bot interference, and ensures better listener engagement.
Whether you're promoting a single, album, or playlist, a landing page gives you greater control over your campaign’s success.
