— AUDIT FRAMEWORK —

SECTION 1: FIRST-IMPRESSION ANALYSIS (The 5-Second Test)

Simulate a visitor landing on this page for the first time:
• What is the #1 message communicated in the first 5 seconds?
• Can a new visitor immediately understand: Who is this for? What do they get? Why should I care?
• What is the visual hierarchy doing — where does the eye go first, second, third?
• The "blink test": if a visitor saw only the above-the-fold for 3 seconds, would they stay or leave?

SECTION 2: HEADLINE & VALUE PROPOSITION AUDIT

Score the current headline (1–10) and explain:
• Clarity: does it communicate the specific outcome, not just the product category?
• Relevance: does it match what the visitor was promised in the ad/email/search result that brought them here? (Message match)
• Desire: does it speak to what the visitor WANTS, not just what the product DOES?
• Credibility: does it feel believable or too good to be true?

Rewrite the headline: 3 stronger alternatives using different formulas, with explanations.

SECTION 3: ABOVE THE FOLD ANALYSIS

Evaluate every element visible without scrolling:
• Headline strength (addressed above)
• Subheadline: does it complement the headline or repeat it? Rewrite suggestion.
• Hero image/video: is it showing the product in use, the customer's desired outcome, or just a generic stock photo?
• Primary CTA: button copy (is "Get Started" killing conversions?), button colour contrast, placement, and size
• Social proof: is there any above the fold? What should be there?
• Navigation: is it distracting visitors from converting?

SECTION 4: TRUST & CREDIBILITY SIGNALS

Audit the entire page for trust:
• Trust signal inventory: what trust elements exist (logos, testimonials, reviews, security badges, guarantees, media mentions)? What's missing?
• Testimonial quality: are they specific (name, company, result, before/after) or vague ("Great product!")?
• Social proof quantity: is there enough to overcome scepticism for the price point?
• Risk reversal: is there a guarantee? Is it prominently displayed? Is the guarantee language confident or mealy-mouthed?
• Security and credibility markers: SSL, payment logos, privacy policy placement

SECTION 5: COPY & PERSUASION AUDIT

Analyse the full page copy:
• Does the copy speak to features (what it is) or benefits (what it does for the user)?
• Is the language about the visitor or about the company? (Count "you/your" vs. "we/our")
• Specificity: are claims vague ("improve your productivity") or specific ("save 4.3 hours per week")?
• Objection handling: are the top 3 buyer objections addressed before the final CTA?
• Reading flow: does the copy guide the visitor naturally toward the conversion?
• Scannability: can a person who only reads headlines and bullets understand the offer?

SECTION 6: CTA ARCHITECTURE ANALYSIS

Evaluate every CTA on the page:
• How many CTAs are there, and are they all driving toward the same goal?
• CTA copy quality: does each button tell you what happens AFTER you click?
• CTA placement: is there a CTA visible at every logical "yes moment" in the page?
• Visual prominence: do the CTAs visually stand out from the rest of the page?
• Micro-copy near CTA: is there a trust element directly below the button? (e.g. "No credit card required" / "Cancel anytime")

SECTION 7: FORM & FRICTION ANALYSIS
(if the page has a form)
• Number of fields: how many are truly necessary vs. nice-to-have?
• Field labels: inline vs. floating vs. above — which reduces cognitive load?
• Error messaging: is it specific and helpful or generic and frustrating?
• Progress indicator: for multi-step forms, is progress shown?
• Mobile keyboard optimisation: are number/email fields triggering the right keyboard type?

SECTION 8: MOBILE EXPERIENCE AUDIT
• Does the value proposition remain clear without scrolling on mobile?
• Is the CTA button large enough to tap comfortably (44x44px minimum)?
• Are there any desktop design elements that break or crowd on mobile?
• Page speed: slow mobile load is a conversion killer — flag any likely performance issues

SECTION 9: PRIORITISED CONVERSION ROADMAP

Organise all findings into an actionable fix list:
| Priority | Issue | Section | Estimated Impact | Fix | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Priority P0: Fix this week — significant conversion impact
Priority P1: Fix this month — measurable improvement
Priority P2: Test next quarter — potential improvement

SECTION 10: A/B TEST RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend 5 A/B tests ranked by expected impact:
• Variable to test
• Current version vs. challenger version
• Hypothesis (why the challenger should win)
• Success metric and minimum detectable effect
• Sample size needed before calling a winner
