Market Landing — CRO Analysis
Deliver a conversion-focused teardown of a single page. You are looking for the specific friction points and missing persuasion elements that cost the client money.
Workflow
- Fetch the page:
python3 scripts/analyze_page.py <url>.
- Identify the page goal — trial signup, demo booking, purchase, lead capture, newsletter. If unclear, ask once.
- Walk the page as a first-time visitor would:
- 3-second test: Does the hero answer "what is this, who is it for, what do I do next"?
- 30-second test: Is there enough to make me curious and reduce risk?
- 3-minute test: Does the page answer every objection I'd have before converting?
The 10 CRO Dimensions (score each 0–10)
| # |
Dimension |
Look for |
| 1 |
Hero clarity |
Specific outcome + audience in the headline. Subhead elaborates. |
| 2 |
Value proposition |
Differentiated, proven, not generic "best-in-class" |
| 3 |
Primary CTA |
Value-driven text (not "Submit"), visible above fold, one dominant action |
| 4 |
Secondary paths |
Clear but subordinated (e.g., "See pricing" below trial CTA) |
| 5 |
Social proof |
Logos, testimonials with real names/photos, counts, ratings |
| 6 |
Objection handling |
FAQ, comparison, guarantees, risk reversal |
| 7 |
Form friction |
Minimum fields, clear purpose, progress signaling, inline validation |
| 8 |
Trust architecture |
HTTPS, privacy link, security badges, compliance signals |
| 9 |
Urgency / scarcity |
Honest, specific (not fake countdowns) |
| 10 |
Visual hierarchy |
Eye flows top → CTA → proof → deeper info → CTA repeat |
Priority Grid
Plot every issue on an impact × effort grid:
High impact │ QUICK WINS │ MAJOR PROJECTS
│ (do this week) │ (plan this month)
├─────────────────┼─────────────────
Low impact │ FILL-INS │ SKIP
│ (when bored) │ (don't bother)
└─────────────────┴─────────────────
Low effort High effort
Every finding goes in one cell. This is the most valuable part of the report — the client can see what to do first without asking.

# Landing Page CRO — [Brand]
**URL:** [url] | **Page goal:** [trial / demo / purchase / lead]
**Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
## Conversion Score: [X]/100
[2-sentence diagnosis: the biggest leak and the biggest quick win.]
## Dimension Scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hero clarity | X/10 | ... |
...
## Priority Grid
### Quick Wins (high impact, low effort)
1. **[Fix name]** — Current: "[quoted copy]" → Proposed: "[new copy]". Expected lift: [reasoned estimate].
...
### Major Projects (high impact, high effort)
1. ...
### Fill-ins (low impact, low effort)

## Hero Rewrite
**Current:**
> [exact quote of H1 + subhead + CTA]
**Proposed:**
> **[new H1]**
> [new subhead]
> [Primary CTA] · [Secondary link]
**Why:** [what changed and why it should convert better]
## CTA Audit
| CTA | Location | Current Text | Proposed Text | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Hero | "Get Started" | "Start Free — No Card" | Risk reversal + specificity |
## Social Proof Gap
[What's present, what's missing, what to add first.]
## Form Friction
[Field-by-field audit if a form is present.]
## A/B Test Recommendations
Three tests ranked by expected impact, each with: hypothesis, variant, primary metric, minimum sample size (assuming baseline CR of X%).
Anti-patterns to flag
- "Learn more" as the only CTA (no commitment signal)
- Hero video that autoplays with sound
- Forms asking for phone number before value is established
- Testimonials without names or photos ("– Happy Customer")
- Countdown timers that reset on reload (deceptive)
- "Trusted by thousands" with no logos or numbers
- Multiple competing CTAs above the fold
- Legal disclaimers above the CTA (poisons conversion intent)
Quality Bar
Quote the actual copy before rewriting it. Never hallucinate a "current" headline. If the page has strengths, name them — an honest CRO audit protects what's working and fixes what isn't.
