Ad-to-Landing Page Auditor

The #1 reason ads get clicks but not conversions: the landing page doesn't deliver on the ad's promise. This skill audits the full click path — from ad copy to landing page experience — and flags every disconnect.

Core principle: A great ad with a mismatched landing page is worse than a mediocre ad with a matched one. Message match is the single biggest conversion lever most startups ignore.

When to Use

• "Why are my ads getting clicks but no conversions?"
• "Audit my ad-to-landing page flow"
• "Check message match on our campaigns"
• "My conversion rate is low — help me figure out why"
• "Review our landing pages for our ad campaigns"

Phase 0: Intake

1. Ad copy — For each ad, provide:
   • Headline(s)
   • Body / description text
   • CTA text
   • Platform (Google Search / Meta / LinkedIn)
2. Landing page URLs — The URL each ad points to
3. Conversion goal — What should happen after someone clicks? (Demo / Trial / Purchase / Download)
4. Known conversion rates? — Current click → conversion rate per ad/LP (if available)

If the user has a CSV export from their ad platform, parse that instead.

Phase 1: Ad Inventory

Parse the provided ads into:

| Ad ID | Platform | Headline | Body/Description | CTA | Landing Page URL | Conv Rate (if known) | |-------|----------|----------|-----------------|-----|-----------------|---------------------|

Phase 2: Landing Page Audit

For each unique landing page URL, fetch the page content:

fetch_webpage: [landing_page_url]

If fetch_webpage is not available, use curl to retrieve the page HTML.

Extract and score:

2A: Content Elements

| Element | Found? | Content | |---------|--------|---------| | Hero headline | [Y/N] | "[Text]" | | Subheadline | [Y/N] | "[Text]" | | Primary CTA | [Y/N] | "[Button text]" | | CTA above fold | [Y/N] | — | | Social proof | [Y/N] | [Logos / testimonials / metrics] | | Benefit list | [Y/N] | [Key benefits listed] | | Form / Sign-up | [Y/N] | [Field count: N] | | Video | [Y/N] | — | | Trust signals | [Y/N] | [Security badges, guarantees] |

2B: Message Match Scoring

For each ad → landing page pair, score on:

| Dimension | Score (1-10) | Criteria | |-----------|-------------|----------| | Promise continuity | [X] | Does the LP headline deliver on the ad's promise? | | Language match | [X] | Does the LP use the same words/phrases as the ad? | | Visual continuity | [X] | Does the LP feel like a continuation of the ad? (Not assessable for search) | | CTA alignment | [X] | Does the LP's ask match what the ad implied? | | Specificity match | [X] | If the ad was specific ("for sales teams"), is the LP specific too? | | Emotional match | [X] | If the ad used fear/urgency, does the LP carry that forward? |

Message Match Score: [Average/60]

Scoring Guide

| Score | Rating | Meaning | |-------|--------|---------| | 50-60 | Excellent | Strong match — LP delivers on every ad promise | | 40-49 | Good | Minor disconnects but overall coherent | | 30-39 | Needs work | Noticeable gaps — visitor has to hunt for relevance | | 20-29 | Poor | Ad and LP feel like different products | | Below 20 | Critical | Complete mismatch — fix immediately |

Phase 3: Conversion Friction Analysis

Beyond message match, assess landing page conversion friction:

| Friction Type | Check | Status | |--------------|-------|--------| | Load time | Does the page feel heavy/slow? (Asset count proxy) | [Fast/Slow/Unknown] | | Form length | How many fields before conversion? | [N fields] — [Appropriate/Too many] | | CTA clarity | Is there one clear CTA or competing actions? | [Clear/Cluttered] | | Above-fold conversion | Can someone convert without scrolling? | [Yes/No] | | Social proof placement | Is proof near the CTA? | [Yes/No] | | Navigation distraction | Does the LP have full site nav? (Should be minimal) | [Minimal/Full nav] | | Mobile experience | Any mobile-unfriendly elements? | [Good/Issues] |
