The situation is familiar to most founders: the ad account shows clicks, the budget is being spent, and the inbox stays empty. The first instinct is to blame the traffic and change the targeting. More often the problem sits on the page itself — and it can be found without any special tools.
Below is the checklist we walk through on every audit. It has 25 checks in seven groups. Open your landing page on a phone, open this list next to it and mark every point where the honest answer is “no”. Those points are your fix list.
1. Message: does the page continue the ad?
A visitor decides within a few seconds whether they landed in the right place. They compare the page with the promise they just clicked on.
- The headline repeats the ad. The words of the search query or the ad are visible on the first screen, not somewhere below.
- It is clear what the product is. A person outside your industry can say what you sell after reading the headline and one line under it.
- It is clear who it is for. The page names the role or the type of company, so the right visitor recognizes themselves.
- The benefit is a result, not a feature list. “Close the month in two days” instead of “AI-powered automation platform”.
- One page — one goal. The page leads to one action. It does not offer a demo, a newsletter, a webinar and a blog at the same time.
2. Offer and button
- The main button is visible without scrolling — on a laptop and on a phone.
- The button text says what happens next. “Get a demo recording” is better than “Submit” or “Learn more”.
- The next step is described. Who will reply, how fast and in what form. Uncertainty stops people more often than price.
- The button repeats down the page after each strong argument, with the same action everywhere.
3. Form
- Only the fields you really use. Every extra field costs you some applications. If sales never looks at “company size”, remove it.
- The form works on a phone. The right keyboard opens for email and phone, fields are not hidden behind the keyboard, the button is reachable with a thumb.
- Errors are explained. The form says exactly which field is wrong and does not erase what was already typed.
- After sending there is a clear confirmation — and you have personally checked that the application reaches your CRM or mailbox. Lost applications are more common than they seem.
4. Trust
- There is proof next to the claim. Real client logos, real reviews with a name, real figures with a source. Invented ones do more harm than none.
- It is clear who is behind the product. A name, a face or a company, and a way to contact a person.
- Common objections are answered before the button: price, terms, what happens to the data, how to cancel.
5. Speed and phone
- The first screen loads fast on mobile internet. Check the page in Google PageSpeed Insights; the target for the main content (LCP) recommended by Google is up to 2.5 seconds.
- Nothing jumps while loading. Banners, fonts and pictures do not push the button out from under the finger.
- No horizontal scrolling and no text that runs off the screen on a narrow phone.
- Pop-ups do not cover the content in the first seconds — especially the cookie banner on top of the main button.
6. Analytics
- The application is counted as a conversion in GA4 and in the ad account — the real sending of the form, not a visit to the page.
- You can see where each application came from: campaign, ad, keyword. Without this it is impossible to switch off what does not work.
- You know where people leave. Scroll depth and clicks on the button are tracked, so you can see which screen loses the visitor.
7. Search
- The page has its own title and description written for a person, with the main query in them — not “Home” and not a copy from another page.
- One H1 heading, and the page is open for indexing. A forgotten “noindex” after a redesign is a classic way to disappear from search.
What to fix first
Do not try to fix everything at once. Sort the found problems by how close they are to money:
| Priority | What it is | Checks |
|---|---|---|
| First | Applications get lost or are not counted | 13, 21, 22 |
| Second | The page does not match the ad, the offer is unclear | 1–9 |
| Third | The form, phone layout and speed get in the way | 10–12, 17–20 |
| Then | Trust, search and deeper analytics | 14–16, 23–25 |
The logic is simple: first make sure you are not losing people who already wanted to apply, then work on those who doubted, and only then on bringing in new visitors. After each change, give the page time to collect data before judging the result — a few applications prove nothing.

- If there are clicks but no leads, look at the page before changing the ads.
- Go through the 25 checks on a phone — most paid traffic comes from there.
- Start with lost and uncounted applications, then the message and the offer, then the form and speed.
- Nobody can honestly promise a specific conversion percentage in advance. What can be guaranteed is the process: found, fixed, measured.
