CRO levers that actually move the needle
Message-match
Headline on the LP must use the same noun as the ad. Mismatch costs 30-50% of conversions.
Mobile LCP < 2.5s
Every 1s of LCP costs ~7% of conversions on mobile. Compress hero, defer fonts, lazy-load below the fold.
Form friction
Drop to 3-4 fields. Move long forms to step 2 after a microcommitment.
Trust proof above the fold
Logos, ratings, certifications. India audiences need the trust signal before scrolling.
Single intent per ad group
One query → one promise → one CTA. SKAG-lite still wins for conversion rate.
WhatsApp CTA for high-ticket
Adds a low-friction conversion path that lifts total CR 15-30% in lead-gen verticals.
