Why connect it

Why Outbrain and LanderLab

  • The pixel, built in

    LanderLab adds the Outbrain Pixel when you publish, with no code pasted on the page.

  • One Marketer ID for every page

    Saved to your LanderLab account once, so every new presell and landing page reports to Outbrain from its first visit.

  • Budget that follows conversions

    With leads reported, Outbrain's optimization can shift spend toward the publishers and placements that convert.

  • All variants report by default

    Every version of an A/B test runs the pixel unless you pick one, so tests compare like with like.

  • Retarget readers who didn't convert

    Pixel data builds audiences of readers who reached the page but left, for a second ad with a different angle.

Outbrain on your landing pages

Outbrain readers are in the middle of an article when they meet your ad, which is why advertorials and soft presells work there. It's also why click-through rate lies: a curious click and a buying click look the same until the conversion comes back.

LanderLab has the Outbrain Pixel built in. It goes on the page from your Marketer ID, on every variant by default, and it's saved to your LanderLab account for every page you build next.

It fits native lead gen and presell funnels: home warranty and insurance quotes, finance offers, ecom and nutra advertorials.

The Outbrain Pixel on every variant

LanderLab adds the Outbrain Pixel when you publish, with no code to paste, and every variant of an A/B test reports to Outbrain unless you pick one to isolate a design.

The Marketer ID is saved to your LanderLab account once, so a presell you build next week reports to Outbrain from its first visit, without anyone pasting a tag.

Budget that follows the conversions

Outbrain can only shift spend toward the publishers and placements that convert when it sees the conversions. With leads reported, its optimization works from what readers did on your page, not from which headlines they clicked.

The same pixel data builds audiences. Readers who reached the page and left without submitting are a smaller, warmer pool than the open web, and a second ad with a different angle often costs less per lead than the first touch did.

Presell angles tested on leads

Native buyers rewrite the presell every week. With every variant reporting to Outbrain and LL Variant ID on each lead in LanderLab, a new angle has to win on leads, not on headline clicks, before it gets the budget.

Presells that keep the click

In a presell funnel, the page sends readers on to an offer. Pass Through URL Params forwards your UTMs and click ID to every link, and hidden fields save them on the leads you capture on the way, so Outbrain, your tracker and your buyer all count the same reader.

Use cases

Ways to use Outbrain on paid traffic

  • 01

    Home warranty quotes

    A 'what your warranty covers' article leads to a quote form. Outbrain optimizes on submitted quotes and moves budget to the placements whose readers own homes.

  • 02

    Auto insurance advertorials

    A rate-comparison story sends readers to a state quiz. Both advertorial variants report to Outbrain, and the angle with more quotes keeps the budget.

  • 03

    Ecom presell funnels

    A product story on publisher sites leads to an opt-in page before the store. Outbrain counts opt-ins, and readers who left after the article see a retargeting ad.

FAQ

Outbrain integration FAQ

Anything not here, ask us.

Outbrain and LanderLab

Does LanderLab integrate with Outbrain?

Yes. The Outbrain Pixel is built in, saved to your LanderLab account once and on every variant by default.

Do I need to paste Outbrain's code?

No. LanderLab adds the pixel from your Marketer ID when you publish.

Is Outbrain tracking worth it for advertorials?

Yes. Without conversions, Outbrain optimizes on clicks, and a click on an advertorial headline says little about who will buy.

Will every A/B variant report to Outbrain?

Yes, by default. You can also run the pixel on a single variant to isolate one design.

Can I check Outbrain's conversions against my own count?

Yes. LanderLab's Leads tab filters by date and variant, with CSV export on Grow and up, so Amplify's numbers can be checked against the leads you captured.
