I have a landing page exampleurl.com/landing to which I want to redirect everything ads coming from google. So far so normal.

But exampleurl.com I would like it not to be a page to go to, so only exampleurl.com/landing can be navigated to ?

So my question is if you can make exampleurl.com throw error or if I should duplicate the /landing in exampleurl.com.

you could respond with a 302 or 301 status code and a Location: header to redirect requests for the home page to the landing page.

Pointing your ads to a landing page is good practice from a tracking point of view but you should still have a homepage that functions. I would create a page and some sales content on there so that if a user simply goes to the website root, they get content.

If I read this correctly, all that is happening is changing example.com/index to example.com/landing, using a 301/302 for that result. Is there a specific benefit in doing that?

I started doing a 301 redirect, but the problem is that in Ads to be able to do "conversion tracking", ads forced me to have a subdomain, so I had to create it.

Thanks everyone for your help
