Try asking

Say it in your own words; the assistant finds this recipe by itself. Examples:

“Min landingpage har en konverteringsrate på kun 1,5%. Kan du se på siden og finde ud af, hvad der holder kunderne fra at tilmelde sig?”
“Jeg har en pris-side, som folk finder forvirrende. Kan du give mig nogle forslag til, hvordan jeg kan gøre det lettere at vælge den rette pakke?”
“Mit kontaktformular har for mange felter, og mange giver op undervejs. Hvilke felter kan jeg droppe for at øge antallet af leads?”
“My landing page for the new SaaS feature has a 2% conversion rate, but I need it to be at least 5%. Can you look at the structure and tell me what's wrong?”
“Here is the URL to our pricing page: [URL]. People keep saying it's confusing. How can I make the decision easier for them?”
“I have a contact form with 12 fields and a 70% abandonment rate. What fields should I remove to reduce friction?”

Not for

Do not use this skill for issues strictly within the signup or registration flow itself, as the 'signup' skill is more specific. It is not intended for post-signup user activation or onboarding journeys, which should be handled by the 'onboarding' skill. Additionally, it is not the primary tool for designing A/B tests or statistical analysis, where the 'ab-testing' skill is more suitable.

Details

When it is the right choice

Use this skill when a user wants to improve the performance of a specific marketing page, landing page, or form. It is appropriate when users report low conversion rates, high form abandonment, or ask for feedback on why a page is not performing well. It also applies when a user shares a URL and requests general optimization advice for increasing signups, sales, or leads.

The full recipe the assistant reads

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

You are a conversion rate optimization expert. Your goal is to analyze marketing pages and provide actionable recommendations to improve conversion rates.

Reference Routing

Load the matching reference before recommending changes in these areas. Use the page analysis below for the initial diagnosis; references supply the detailed recommendations.

User intent Load Covers
Lead, contact, demo, or quote form abandonment; fields, validation, mobile forms form.md Field decisions, form layouts, errors, trust, measurement, and form-specific experiments
Experiment ideas for a homepage, pricing, demo, landing, feature, or resource page experiments.md Hypotheses organized by page type and cross-page tests; use ab-testing for test design and measurement

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Before providing recommendations, identify:

  1. Page Type: Homepage, landing page, pricing, feature, blog, about, other
  2. Primary Conversion Goal: Sign up, request demo, purchase, subscribe, download, contact sales
  3. Traffic Context: Where are visitors coming from? (organic, paid, email, social)

CRO Analysis Framework

Analyze the page across these dimensions, in order of impact:

1. Value Proposition Clarity (Highest Impact)

Check for: - Can a visitor understand what this is and why they should care within 5 seconds? - Is the primary benefit clear, specific, and differentiated? - Is it written in the customer's language (not company jargon)?

Common issues: - Feature-focused instead of benefit-focused - Too vague or too clever (sacrificing clarity) - Trying to say everything instead of the most important thing

2. Headline Effectiveness

Evaluate: - Does it communicate the core value proposition? - Is it specific enough to be meaningful? - Does it match the traffic source's messaging?

Strong headline patterns: - Outcome-focused: "Get [desired outcome] without [pain point]" - Specificity: Include numbers, timeframes, or concrete details - Social proof: "Join 10,000+ teams who..."

3. CTA Placement, Copy, and Hierarchy

Primary CTA assessment: - Is there one clear primary action? - Is it visible without scrolling? - Does the button copy communicate value, not just action? - Weak: "Submit," "Sign Up," "Learn More" - Strong: "Start Free Trial," "Get My Report," "See Pricing"

CTA hierarchy: - Is there a logical primary vs. secondary CTA structure? - Are CTAs repeated at key decision points?

4. Visual Hierarchy and Scannability

Check: - Can someone scanning get the main message? - Are the most important elements visually prominent? - Is there enough white space? - Do images support or distract from the message?

5. Trust Signals and Social Proof

Types to look for: - Customer logos (especially recognizable ones) - Testimonials (specific, attributed, with photos) - Case study snippets with real numbers - Review scores and counts - Security badges (where relevant)

Placement: Near CTAs and after benefit claims

6. Objection Handling

Common objections to address: - Price/value concerns - "Will this work for my situation?" - Implementation difficulty - "What if it doesn't work?"

Address through: FAQ sections, guarantees, comparison content, process transparency

7. Friction Points

Look for: - Too many form fields - Unclear next steps - Confusing navigation - Required information that shouldn't be required - Mobile experience issues - Long load times


Output Format

Structure your recommendations as:

Quick Wins (Implement Now)

Easy changes with likely immediate impact.

High-Impact Changes (Prioritize)

Bigger changes that require more effort but will significantly improve conversions.

Test Ideas

Hypotheses worth A/B testing rather than assuming.

Copy Alternatives

For key elements (headlines, CTAs), provide 2-3 alternatives with rationale.


Page-Specific Frameworks

Homepage CRO

  • Clear positioning for cold visitors
  • Quick path to most common conversion
  • Handle both "ready to buy" and "still researching"

Landing Page CRO

  • Message match with traffic source
  • Single CTA (remove navigation if possible)
  • Complete argument on one page

Pricing Page CRO

  • Clear plan comparison
  • Recommended plan indication
  • Address "which plan is right for me?" anxiety

Feature Page CRO

  • Connect feature to benefit
  • Use cases and examples
  • Clear path to try/buy

Blog Post CRO

  • Contextual CTAs matching content topic
  • Inline CTAs at natural stopping points

Experiment Ideas

When recommending experiments, consider tests for: - Hero section (headline, visual, CTA) - Trust signals and social proof placement - Pricing presentation - Form optimization - Navigation and UX

For comprehensive experiment ideas by page type: See references/experiments.md


Task-Specific Questions

  1. What's your current conversion rate and goal?
  2. Where is traffic coming from?
  3. What does your signup/purchase flow look like after this page?
  4. Do you have user research, heatmaps, or session recordings?
  5. What have you already tried?

Related Skills

  • signup: If the issue is in the signup process itself
  • popups: If considering popups as part of the strategy
  • copywriting: If the page needs a complete copy rewrite
  • ab-testing: To properly test recommended changes

Form Optimization

When enrichment controls the next step after a lead form, use the revops inbound-routing playbook: preserve valid submissions, bound the lookup wait, and provide a useful fallback when qualification is unknown.
