Why Most Landing Pages Don't Convert (And How to Fix Yours)
The structural problems that kill conversion rates and the principles that fix them.
A beautiful landing page that doesn't convert is just an art project.
The 5 Most Common Conversion Killers
1. Unclear Value Proposition
If a visitor can't understand what you do and why it matters within 5 seconds, they're gone.
Fix: One clear headline. One supporting sentence. One primary CTA.
2. Too Many CTAs
Every additional CTA reduces the effectiveness of all CTAs. Decision fatigue is real.
Fix: One primary action per page. Everything else is secondary.
3. No Social Proof
People buy what other people buy. Without proof, you're asking for pure trust.
Fix: Reviews, logos, case studies, numbers. Make them visible above the fold.
4. Friction in the Form
Every field you add reduces form completion by 5-10%.
Fix: Ask for the minimum. You can always ask for more later.
5. Slow Load Time
Every additional second of load time reduces conversions by 7%.
Fix: Optimize images, minimize JavaScript, use a CDN.
The Formula That Works
Hero (value prop) → Social Proof → Benefits → How It Works → CTA → FAQ → Final CTA
Simple. Proven. Effective.
