A template page offers a free, ready-to-use template built in the product, such as a project plan, an invoice or a sprint board, and is designed to rank for people searching for that template. Many SaaS products build whole template galleries because each template matches a specific, practical search, and using the template naturally requires signing up.

What makes one rank and convert
- A page per template, targeting the search for it, rather than one gallery page.
- A preview of the template itself, not only a description.
- Instructions on how to use it, which is what makes it more than a thin page.
- A one-click way to use it in the product.
Risks
Galleries built at scale can turn into hundreds of near-identical pages. Each template page needs enough unique content to stand on its own, or it risks being treated as low-value.
