AdTech software turns 1.4% of website visitors into leads and CRM software 2.0%, according to First Page Sage's funnel benchmarks from more than 50 B2B SaaS clients, updated June 2025. Those are the two closest published rows to marketing technology. No publisher we found reports a MarTech landing page median, so this page builds one from the nearest proxies and says how far each one can be trusted.
It covers the proxies, trial and demo conversion, what business search traffic costs, software form completion, message match in a category of 15,384 products, and how much traffic a test needs. Whole-industry medians are in Landing Page Conversion Rates by Industry 2026, and the general SaaS picture is in B2B SaaS Landing Page Statistics 2026. This post stays on the page a MarTech campaign sends traffic to.
There is no MarTech median, so pick the proxy by conversion event
MarTech pages sell software to marketers: automation, analytics, advertising, CRM, content and data tools. Unbounce's 2024 report covers nine industries from more than 41,000 landing pages and 57 million conversions, and its SaaS page is the only landing page dataset with a software row. It does not split out marketing software.
| Proxy | Figure | What it measures | Why it is not MarTech |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unbounce SaaS, 2024 | 3.8% median | Any landing page goal | All SaaS; subcategories run from 3.3% (data and infrastructure) to 4.1% (hardware) |
| Unbounce all industries, 2024 | 6.6% median | Any landing page goal, 41,000+ pages | Nine industries, consumer heavy |
| First Page Sage AdTech, 2025 | 1.4% | Whole-site visitor to lead | A site rate, not a landing page rate |
| First Page Sage CRM, 2025 | 2.0% | Whole-site visitor to lead | Sales software as much as marketing |
| First Page Sage B2B SaaS, 2025 | 1.1% | Whole-site visitor to lead | All B2B SaaS client data |
| LocaliQ Business Services, 2026 | 4.85% of clicks | Search ad leads per click | Service businesses, not software vendors |

How to adjust. A campaign page with one offer and no navigation should be judged against Unbounce's 3.8% SaaS median. A whole site, or a product page reached from organic search, should be judged against the 1.4% to 2.0% site rates. If your product sits close to advertising, start from the AdTech row; if it sits close to pipeline and contacts, start from CRM. First Page Sage is an SEO agency reporting its own client data, so read its figures as one agency's book of business, not a census.
What happens after the lead. First Page Sage reports AdTech leads moving to MQL at 39%, MQL to SQL at 35%, SQL to opportunity at 40% and opportunity to close at 37%. It calls AdTech "a crowded field" with low rates across the board. CRM converts its harder step, MQL to SQL, at 42%.
| Category | Visitor to lead | Lead to MQL | MQL to SQL | SQL to opportunity | Opportunity to close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AdTech | 1.4% | 39% | 35% | 40% | 37% |
| CRM | 2.0% | 36% | 42% | 48% | 38% |
| Design | 0.9% | 40% | 34% | 45% | 38% |
| Cybersecurity | 1.6% | 44% | 38% | 40% | 39% |

Trial pages and demo pages are different benchmarks
Many MarTech products can be tried without a salesperson, and that changes the number a landing page should hit. First Page Sage's free trial report draws on 86 SaaS companies, 71% B2B, from Q1 2022 to Q3 2025.
| Row | Visitor to trial | Trial to paid |
|---|---|---|
| Opt-in trial, organic traffic | 8.5% | 18.2% |
| Opt-in trial, paid traffic | 7.1% | 17.4% |
| Opt-out trial (card required), organic | 2.5% | 48.8% |
| Freemium, organic | 13.3% | 2.6% |
| Advertising / AdTech | 9.1% | 24.3% |
| CRM | 9.7% | 29.0% |
| Enterprise | 5.5% | 18.6% |
Source: First Page Sage, SaaS Free Trial Conversion Rate Benchmarks, updated 2025-09-05
A trial page converting at 9% and a demo page converting at 2% can both be on target. Track them as separate conversion events, and never average them into one site rate. A card-required trial converts a third as many visitors as an opt-in trial but turns 48.8% of them into paying customers, so the right benchmark depends on which model the page sells.
What business search traffic costs
WordStream by LocaliQ publishes averages from its customers' Google Ads and Microsoft Ads campaigns. LocaliQ sells campaign management, so these are vendor-sourced, and it has no software row. Business Services is the nearest category: the advertisers sell to businesses, as MarTech vendors do.
| Metric | Business Services | All industries |
|---|---|---|
| Click-through rate | 6.10% | 6.64% |
| Cost per click | $5.87 | $5.42 |
| Conversion rate | 4.85% | 8.18% |
| Cost per lead | $93.69 | $66.69 |
Source: WordStream by LocaliQ, Search Advertising Benchmarks, updated 2026-06-01
Unbounce's SaaS data points the same way. SaaS pages convert paid search at a 4.1% median and Google search ads at 5.1%, less than half the 11.3% Google average across all industries. Email converts SaaS pages at 16.9%, paid social at 2.9% and display at 0.3%. First Page Sage's channel split for B2B SaaS puts visitor to lead at 2.1% for SEO, 2.2% for LinkedIn and 0.7% for PPC.
The budget behind those clicks is under pressure. Chief Marketer's report on Gartner's 2026 CMO Spend Survey of 401 CMOs says martech fell from 26.6% of marketing budgets in 2021 to 19.4%, while 62% planned to invest more in marketing technology. A MarTech buyer is spending less per tool and asking harder questions, which our reading says shows up as more comparison and less impulse on the landing page.
Software forms lose the most people on mobile
Zuko, a form analytics vendor, tracks about 93 million form sessions and defines conversion as completed forms divided by form views. It has a software row, though it does not say which software.
| Industry | Sessions | Desktop | Mobile | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software | 557,487 | 53.53% | 38.61% | 50.61% |
| Data services | 5,170,413 | 61.00% | 51.31% | 56.51% |
| Media | 236,742 | 36.07% | 34.52% | 36.29% |
| Financial services | 27,089,063 | 60.75% | 53.71% | 58.38% |
| All forms | 93,022,997 | 54.48% | 47.53% | 51.71% |

Software forms sit near the average overall, but the mobile figure is almost 15 points below desktop, the widest gap in Zuko's table. Unbounce found 79% of SaaS landing page visits came from mobile, with mobile and desktop converting at 6.4% and 6.2% on average. Taken together, mobile visitors to software pages convert about as well as desktop visitors once they reach the form, and then abandon it more. Our reading is that the form, not the page, is where the mobile loss sits.
Zuko's split by purpose narrows it. Enquiry forms, its lead generation type, complete at 42.7% overall and 37.7% on mobile. Registration forms, the closest type to a trial sign-up, complete at 60.7%.
Field type matters more than count. HubSpot's analysis of over 40,000 customer landing pages, updated June 2025, found extra single-line text fields barely lowered conversion, while multiple textareas and multiple dropdowns lowered it sharply. MarTech demo forms lean on dropdowns: company size, current tools, monthly spend, role. Each one should change the routing or the price, or wait for the call.
Message match in a category of 15,384 products
chiefmartec's 2025 landscape counts 15,384 marketing technology products in 49 categories, up 9% from 14,106. In that year it qualified 2,489 new products and removed 1,211. A MarTech buyer searching a category name sees many near-identical claims, so the page has to repeat the exact problem they searched.
Message match means the page repeats what the visitor searched for and what the ad promised. Unbounce recommends it for paid search and offers dynamic text replacement to swap headlines to the ad copy, without publishing a lift figure. We found no public dataset measuring conversion lift from message match on MarTech keywords. Google's documentation sets the mechanics.
Quality Score is a diagnostic. Google rates keywords from 1 to 10 on expected click-through rate, ad relevance and landing page experience, defined as "how relevant and useful your landing page is to people who click your ad". Google says Quality Score is not an input in the ad auction.
Keyword insertion inserts the keyword, not the search. Google's help page shows the ad falling back to default text when a keyword is too long to fit. "Marketing attribution software for B2B SaaS" will hit that limit; a dedicated page will not.
Name the stack, not the category. chiefmartec found most B2B teams treat their CRM or marketing automation platform as the centre of their stack. A page that says which CRM it connects to answers the first question a MarTech buyer asks. We build marketing sites in Webflow, where one CMS template can generate an integration page per platform from the same design.
Write plainly. Unbounce found SaaS pages written at a 5th to 7th grade reading level converted at 12.9%, against 2.1% for professional-level copy, and pages of 250 to 725 words converted best, at a 3.8% median.
Most MarTech pages cannot be split-tested on paid search alone
Our calculation, at 95% confidence and 80% power, to detect a 20% relative lift:
| Baseline | Rate | Visitors per variant | Two-variant cost at $5.87 CPC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unbounce SaaS median | 3.8% | 10,885 | About $128,000 |
| LocaliQ Business Services | 4.85% | 8,425 | About $99,000 |
| First Page Sage CRM site rate | 2.0% | 21,109 | About $248,000 |
| First Page Sage AdTech trial rate | 9.1% | 4,268 | About $50,000 |
| Zuko enquiry form completion | 42.7% | 535 form views | Not a click cost |

A demo page needs more traffic than most MarTech teams buy for one segment. A trial page or a form needs a fraction of it. Test where the traffic pools, and change the rest on evidence.
How to use this: a five-page test order for a MarTech site
1. The demo or trial form. It is the cheapest test: about 535 form views per variant at Zuko's enquiry rate. Measure completion by device against Zuko's 38.61% software mobile figure, and test a four-field form against your current one.
2. The paid search page for your biggest category term. It carries the spend. Test a headline that repeats the searched problem and names the CRM or platform you connect to against your generic headline. Judge it on cost per qualified demo, not cost per lead.
3. The integrations page for your main platform. Buyers reach it from searches that include another vendor's name. Benchmark it against the 2.0% CRM site rate and give it its own conversion event.
4. The trial or freemium sign-up. Benchmark it against First Page Sage's 9.1% AdTech and 9.7% CRM visitor to trial rates, and track trial to paid next to it, because a page that lifts sign-ups and lowers paid conversion has not won.
5. The pricing page. With martech budgets at a five-year low, buyers check cost before they talk to sales. Measure clicks through to the form, and keep it out of the demo rate.
