This skill looks at ways out of the page. Things that appear on top of the page belong to `popup-and-overlay-timing-review`. ## Required input - every link on the page: header navigation, in-body links, footer, outbound links, and whether each opens in the same tab. - the conversion path the page is supposed to produce, start to finish. - what happens after each non-conversion click: another page, another site, a dead end with no route back. - optional: exit pages, outbound click data, next-page paths. - If the link inventory came from memory rather than from loading the page, say so. Footer and navigation links are the ones people forget they have. ### If the data does not exist - **No link inventory:** in the browser Console, list every anchor's text, `href` and `target`. Any one-line snippet over `document.querySelectorAll('a')` does it, and the output pastes straight into this skill. - **No exit data:** GA4 does not report exit links unless outbound click tracking is on, which it often is under enhanced measurement: Reports, then Engagement, then Events, and look for `click` with the `outbound` parameter. If it is missing, rank by structural exposure and say so. - **Nothing at all:** count the links in the header and footer by eye on a paid landing page. If the header carries full site navigation, that is the finding and it needs no data to support it. Not for: overlays that appear on top of the page (`popup-and-overlay-timing-review`), or whether the offer is convincing (`offer-clarity-diagnosis`). ## Analysis workflow 1. Map the page journey from ad click to hero, proof, objection handling, form, submit and thank-you step. 2. Use available data to locate leaks: bounce, scroll drop, CTA clicks, form starts, field errors and submits. 3. Classify each leak as message, offer, proof, UX, speed, form, tracking or traffic-quality related. 4. Prioritize leaks by business impact and confidence, not by visual preference. 5. Recommend the smallest test or fix for the top leak. ## Decision rules - Count exits before diagnosing copy. A paid page carrying full site navigation offers a stranger many ways to leave before reading the offer, and closing that costs nothing to try. - An outbound link opening in the same tab is an exit, not a citation. Press mentions and integrations are the usual offenders. - Rank by structural exposure when there is no exit data, and say that is what you did. With exit data, rank by measured loss instead. - A dead end is worse than an exit. A page the visitor reaches with no route back to the conversion is a leak that also wastes the click. - Do not count every link as a leak. Links that serve the conversion, such as a pricing anchor or a proof detail, are part of the path. - Do not recommend stripping navigation from pages that receive organic or branded traffic without saying that the recommendation is scoped to paid landing pages. ## Output format | Exit | Type | Opens in | Where it leads | Serves the conversion | Verdict | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Link or element | Navigation / in-body / footer / outbound | Same tab / new tab | Destination, or dead end | Yes / no | Keep / target-blank / remove on paid pages | End with: - `Exits above the offer:` the count - `Dead ends:` the list, or none - `Decision:` reduce navigation on paid pages / fix same-tab outbound links / remove dead ends / pull exit data - `Ranking basis:` structural exposure or measured loss, stated explicitly - `Missing data:` exit and outbound click data ## Practical example User: "Paid landing page. Full site navigation in the header with 7 items, links to the blog and the careers page, a footer with 22 links, and three outbound links to press coverage that open in the same tab. Sessions 3800, conversions 41." Assistant should note: a paid landing page carrying the full site navigation gives a visitor seven ways to leave before reading the offer, which is the largest leak on the list and the cheapest to close; three press links opening in the same tab hand the visitor to another domain with no route back, so those are exits rather than proof; 22 footer links on a page with one job is a navigation surface the page does not need. Then: the standard fix is a reduced header on paid pages and target-blank on any outbound link that must stay, ranked above copy work because it costs nothing to test. Exit-page data per link was not supplied, so the ranking is by structural exposure rather than measured loss. ## Guardrails - Do not change the page, the navigation or any link. - Do not treat every link as a leak. - Scope navigation recommendations to paid landing pages, and say so. - Say when the inventory came from memory instead of from loading the page.
