The Instapage mission has always been to create the most powerful post-click landing page platform so that you can lower the cost of customer acquisition. A big part of how we go about doing this relies on your input and feedback. Without it, we’re not really able to fulfill our mission.
To provide you with the best Instapage experience, though, it’s more than just releasing new features. It’s also about making it possible for you to get the most of your lead capture form and data collection — which is where integrations come in.
Instapage already integrates with more than 20 of the biggest marketing software in the world.
And we’ve added one more integration to this list.
Integrating your Instapage landing pages with the Marketo platform—one of the biggest brands in the digital marketing industry and a leading automation software allows marketers to create better, more optimized campaigns. Allowing them to take full advantage of our landing page platform.
This addition to the Instapage integration ecosystem allows Marketo users to build, test and optimize personalized post-click landing pages at scale, and automatically push converted leads into the Marketo database. Together Instapage and Marketo enable marketers to maximize ROI across the entire lead funnel.
For the first time, Marketo users can offer their post-click landing page visitors a personalized, fully on-brand experience that will increase conversions across the entire customer journey.
Doesn’t Marketo software have a post-click landing page tool?
Yes, many of the marketers who use Marketo automation software build and publish automated post-click landing pages with lead collection forms. Marketo is a great all-in-one solution, but we’ve heard some marketers say they are unaware of the advertising potential and additional functionality a post-click landing page platform like Instapage offers.
To clear up any confusion, let’s do a quick breakdown of marketing automation post-click landing pages (Marketo) versus paid advertising post-click landing pages (Instapage).
Marketing automation post-click landing pages vs. advertising post-click landing pages
Email automation post-click landing pages come with lead capture forms to a known individual who has prior experience with your brand and allow him or her to complete email CTAs. Advertising post-click landing pages are used to convert your ad clicks into leads from individuals with no prior experience with your brand (first brand experience). These two types of post-click landing pages solve very different problems and have different requirements.
Some other key differences:
A/B TESTING: Automation post-click landing pages don’t need to be A/B tested. Since the conversion happens in the email; emails are A/B tested. Since the conversion happens on the post-click landing page, advertising post-click landing pages should be A/B tested and optimized to maximize conversions.
MARKETING COST: Automation post-click landing pages often have no or minimal direct lead acquisition costs tied to marketing automation touches. Advertising post-click landing pages are directly tied to dollars — every visitor that does not click and convert is money left on the table.
To further explain, let’s present a few pain points you may have experienced using Instapage and Marketo separately — and how the new integration effectively solves them.

At this point, you’ll connect your Marketo account by inserting your client ID, client secret, and URL as directed. You’ll then connect your post-click landing page to your desired Marketo list and map your form fields.
