Execution Flow

If URL is provided:

1. Fetch the landing page using WebFetch with the provided URL
2. Extract all visible text content — headlines, subheadlines, body copy, CTAs, form fields, navigation
3. Identify trust signals — testimonials, logos, guarantees, security badges, certifications
4. Assess above-the-fold content — what does the visitor see without scrolling?
5. Evaluate CTA clarity — is there one clear action? Is it visible? Is the copy specific?
6. Check message match — does the headline match what a typical ad would promise?
7. Analyze form friction — how many fields? Are any unnecessary? Is there a progress indicator?
8. Evaluate mobile experience — responsive design, button sizes, form usability
9. Check page speed indicators — large images, heavy scripts, render-blocking resources
10. Score the page across all categories (0-100)
11. Generate specific rewrite suggestions with before/after copy
12. Output the complete audit to ADS-LANDING.md

If NO URL is provided:

1. Ask the user for: business type, primary offer, target audience, desired conversion action
2. Build a complete landing page outline using the Landing Page Blueprint below
3. Write all copy sections — headline, subheadline, body, CTAs, testimonial placeholders, FAQ
4. Output the complete outline to ADS-LANDING.md

Landing Page Scoring Rubric

Overall Landing Page Score (0-100)

| Category | Weight | What It Measures | |---|---|---| | Message Match | 20% | Does the headline match the ad promise? Would a visitor feel they landed in the right place? | | CTA Clarity & Placement | 20% | Is there ONE clear action? Is the CTA visible, specific, and compelling? | | Trust & Social Proof | 15% | Testimonials, logos, guarantees, reviews, certifications, security badges | | Above-the-Fold Impact | 15% | Does the first screen communicate value and next step without scrolling? | | Copy Quality | 10% | Benefit-driven language, clarity, specificity, emotional triggers | | Form & Friction | 10% | Number of fields, perceived effort, autofill support, error handling | | Mobile Optimization | 5% | Responsive design, tap targets, form usability, load time | | Page Speed | 5% | Estimated load time, image optimization, script weight |

Scoring Criteria by Category

Message Match (20%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Headline directly mirrors ad copy. Visitor instantly confirms they are in the right place. Same language, same promise, same offer. | | 70-89 | Headline is related to ad copy but uses different wording. Visitor can connect the dots but must think for a moment. | | 50-69 | Headline addresses the same topic but different angle. Some disconnect between ad promise and page promise. | | 30-49 | Weak connection. Headline is generic ("Welcome" / "Our Services") and does not reinforce the ad message. | | 0-29 | No connection. Visitor cannot tell why they landed here. Likely a homepage being used as a landing page. |

What to check:

• Does the page headline use the same keywords as the ad headline?
• Does the page deliver on the specific promise made in the ad?
• Is the offer mentioned in the ad visible on the landing page?
• Would the visitor feel "yes, this is what I clicked for" within 2 seconds?

CTA Clarity & Placement (20%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Single, clear primary CTA. Contrasting button color. Specific copy ("Get My Free Quote" not "Submit"). Visible above the fold. Repeated 2-3 times down the page. | | 70-89 | Clear primary CTA but could be more specific. Visible above the fold. May lack repetition down the page. | | 50-69 | CTA present but competes with other actions (navigation, multiple CTAs). Generic copy ("Submit" / "Learn More"). | | 30-49 | CTA is below the fold or hard to find. Multiple competing CTAs with no hierarchy. Vague copy. | | 0-29 | No clear CTA. Visitor does not know what action to take. Page has no conversion path. |

CTA Copy Hierarchy (Best to Worst):

BEST: Specific + Benefit ("Get My Free Audit Report")
GOOD: Specific + Action ("Download the 2024 Guide")
OK:   Action + Context ("Start Your Free Trial")
WEAK: Generic Action ("Sign Up" / "Get Started")
WORST: No Context ("Submit" / "Click Here" / "Learn More")

CTA Design Checklist:

• [ ] Button color contrasts with page background (not same color family)
• [ ] Button is large enough to tap on mobile (minimum 44px x 44px)
• [ ] Button copy uses first person ("Get MY quote" > "Get YOUR quote")
• [ ] Sub-text under button reduces anxiety ("No credit card required" / "Unsubscribe anytime")
• [ ] CTA appears above the fold, mid-page, and at the bottom
• [ ] Only ONE primary CTA per page (secondary CTAs are visually subordinate)

Trust & Social Proof (15%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Multiple trust signals: customer testimonials with names/photos, client logos, star ratings, review count, guarantee badge, security seals, certifications. Placed strategically near CTAs. | | 70-89 | Good trust signals present but not complete set. Testimonials exist but may lack names or photos. Some logos or badges. | | 50-69 | Minimal trust signals. Maybe 1-2 testimonials or a guarantee mention. No logos, no ratings. | | 30-49 | Almost no trust signals. Generic or fabricated-feeling testimonials. No third-party validation. | | 0-29 | Zero trust signals. No testimonials, no logos, no guarantees, no reviews, no badges. |

Trust Signal Placement Rules:

HERO SECTION: Client logo bar (3-6 recognizable logos)
ABOVE FORM: Star rating + review count ("4.8/5 from 2,847 reviews")
BESIDE FORM: Security badges, SSL icon, privacy statement
BELOW HERO: 2-3 short testimonials with names and headshots
MID-PAGE: Full case study or detailed testimonial
NEAR CTA: Guarantee badge ("30-day money-back guarantee")
FOOTER: Certifications, association memberships, contact info

Above-the-Fold Impact (15%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Within the first screen: clear headline, supporting subheadline, benefit statement, primary CTA, and at least one trust signal. Visitor knows exactly what to do. | | 70-89 | Headline and CTA visible above the fold. Subheadline present. May be missing trust signal or benefit clarity. | | 50-69 | Headline visible but CTA is below the fold. Or headline is vague and requires scrolling to understand the offer. | | 30-49 | Above the fold is dominated by navigation, large image, or slider. Key info requires scrolling. | | 0-29 | Nothing actionable above the fold. Looks like a homepage, not a landing page. Hero image with no text. |

Above-the-Fold Checklist:

• [ ] Headline communicates the core value proposition in under 10 words
• [ ] Subheadline explains HOW they deliver the value (15-25 words)
• [ ] Primary CTA button is visible without scrolling
• [ ] At least one trust signal visible (logo bar, rating, or testimonial snippet)
• [ ] Hero image/video is relevant (shows the product, result, or customer — not a stock photo)
• [ ] No auto-playing video with sound
• [ ] Navigation is minimal or removed (reduce exit points)

Copy Quality (10%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Benefit-driven copy throughout. Specific numbers and outcomes. Active voice. Addresses objections. Reads naturally. Matches audience sophistication level. | | 70-89 | Mostly benefit-driven. Some specificity. Good clarity but could be more compelling. | | 50-69 | Mix of benefits and features. Some generic language. Functional but not persuasive. | | 30-49 | Feature-heavy copy with few benefits. Industry jargon. Talks about the company, not the customer. | | 0-29 | Poor copy: vague, generic, full of jargon, or barely any copy at all. |

Copy Quality Checklist:

• [ ] Headline uses benefit language, not feature language ("Save 10 hours/week" not "Automated scheduling")
• [ ] Body copy uses "you/your" more than "we/our" (customer-centric)
• [ ] Specific numbers used where possible ("2,847 customers" not "thousands of customers")
• [ ] Active voice preferred ("We deliver results" not "Results are delivered")
• [ ] Each section answers "so what?" for the reader
• [ ] No walls of text — short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max)
• [ ] Bullet points used for feature/benefit lists

Form & Friction (10%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Minimal fields (name + email or single CTA). Smart defaults, autofill-friendly. Progress indicator if multi-step. Inline validation. Privacy statement near form. | | 70-89 | Reasonable number of fields (3-5). Clear labels. Submit button has specific copy. Privacy note present. | | 50-69 | 5-7 fields, some potentially unnecessary. Generic submit button. No progress indicator for long forms. | | 30-49 | 7+ fields. Unnecessary fields (fax, company size, how did you hear about us). No inline validation. | | 0-29 | Excessive fields (10+). Required fields that feel invasive. Captcha visible. No privacy statement. Poor mobile form experience. |

Form Friction Reduction Rules:

- Consultation booking: Name + Email + Phone + Preferred Time = 4 fields
- Quote request: Name + Email + Phone + Brief Description = 4 fields
- E-commerce: Shipping + Payment (use autofill, address lookup)

EVERY ADDITIONAL FIELD REDUCES COMPLETION BY ~7-10%

FRICTION REDUCERS:
- "Takes 30 seconds" or "2-minute form" — set time expectation
- Pre-fill fields from browser autofill where possible
- Use dropdown/select instead of free text where appropriate
- Show progress bar for multi-step forms
- Inline validation (green check as they complete fields)
- "We'll never share your email" near the form
- Phone field marked as optional if not essential

Mobile Optimization (5%)

| Score | Criteria | |---|---| | 90-100 | Fully responsive. Large tap targets. Mobile-specific layout. Form is easy to complete on phone. Page loads in under 3 seconds on mobile. | | 70-89 | Responsive but not mobile-optimized. Acceptable tap targets. Some horizontal scrolling. | | 50-69 | Responsive with issues.
