Message match

The page should continue the promise that brought the visitor there. A mismatch between ad, search result, email and landing page creates immediate friction.

One clear job

Prioritize a single primary action. Secondary navigation and competing offers should not overwhelm the decision.

Evidence and objections

Use truthful proof, clear details and answers to likely objections. Avoid fabricated testimonials, fake urgency or unsupported claims.

Measurement

Define the conversion event before redesigning so improvement can be assessed rather than assumed.
