LP-Satellite™ vs. Microsite
A microsite often separates a topic from the main website. LP-Satellite™ builds additional entry points where authority, brand, and conversion already reside: under the existing domain.
The question arises when new topics need to be made visible without starting a second website project. Then it becomes crucial whether separation or integration offers greater benefits.
Focus
This page compares separate topic sites with integrated search area expansion.
What Sets Us Apart
This does not include brand launches, standalone campaign domains, or special projects with completely separate identities.
Decision
The crucial question is whether a topic truly needs its own website or if it would be better integrated as a search area within the existing website.
Microsites quickly generate additional maintenance and shared signals.
A separate presence can be beneficial if the brand or target audience is clearly distinct. However, for many performance and search topics, it is unnecessarily cumbersome because content, tracking, maintenance, and trust are distributed.
Typical problem
A second website creates additional problems.
Domain, tracking, and maintenance must be managed separately.
The authority of the main website is not directly leveraged.
Users switch between websites.
Minor issues are blown out of proportion.
