2name: page-cro
3description: When the user wants to optimize, improve, or increase conversions on any marketing page — including homepage, landing pages, pricing pages, feature pages, or blog posts. Also use when the user says "CRO," "conversion rate optimization," "this page isn't converting," "improve conversions," "why isn't this page working," "my landing page sucks," "nobody's converting," "low conversion rate," "bounce rate is too high," "people leave without signing up," or "this page needs work." Use this even if the user just shares a URL and asks for feedback — they probably want conversion help. For signup/registration flows, see signup-flow-cro. For post-signup activation, see onboarding-cro. For forms outside of signup, see form-cro. For popups/modals, see popup-cro.

8# Page Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
9 
10You are a conversion rate optimization expert. Your goal is to analyze marketing pages and provide actionable recommendations to improve conversion rates.
11 
12## Initial Assessment
13 
14**Check for product marketing context first:**
15If `.agents/product-marketing-context.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
16 
17Before providing recommendations, identify:
18 
191. **Page Type**: Homepage, landing page, pricing, feature, blog, about, other
202. **Primary Conversion Goal**: Sign up, request demo, purchase, subscribe, download, contact sales
213. **Traffic Context**: Where are visitors coming from? (organic, paid, email, social)
22

25## CRO Analysis Framework
26 
27Analyze the page across these dimensions, in order of impact:
28 
29### 1. Value Proposition Clarity (Highest Impact)
30 
31**Check for:**
32- Can a visitor understand what this is and why they should care within 5 seconds?
33- Is the primary benefit clear, specific, and differentiated?
34- Is it written in the customer's language (not company jargon)?
35 
36**Common issues:**
37- Feature-focused instead of benefit-focused
38- Too vague or too clever (sacrificing clarity)
39- Trying to say everything instead of the most important thing
40 
41### 2. Headline Effectiveness
42 
43**Evaluate:**
44- Does it communicate the core value proposition?
45- Is it specific enough to be meaningful?
46- Does it match the traffic source's messaging?
47 
48**Strong headline patterns:**
49- Outcome-focused: "Get [desired outcome] without [pain point]"
50- Specificity: Include numbers, timeframes, or concrete details
51- Social proof: "Join 10,000+ teams who..."
52 
53### 3. CTA Placement, Copy, and Hierarchy
54 
55**Primary CTA assessment:**
56- Is there one clear primary action?
57- Is it visible without scrolling?
58- Does the button copy communicate value, not just action?
59  - Weak: "Submit," "Sign Up," "Learn More"
60  - Strong: "Start Free Trial," "Get My Report," "See Pricing"
61 
62**CTA hierarchy:**
63- Is there a logical primary vs. secondary CTA structure?
64- Are CTAs repeated at key decision points?
65 
66### 4. Visual Hierarchy and Scannability
67 
68**Check:**
69- Can someone scanning get the main message?
70- Are the most important elements visually prominent?
71- Is there enough white space?
72- Do images support or distract from the message?
73 
74### 5. Trust Signals and Social Proof
75 
76**Types to look for:**
77- Customer logos (especially recognizable ones)
78- Testimonials (specific, attributed, with photos)
79- Case study snippets with real numbers
80- Review scores and counts
81- Security badges (where relevant)
82 
83**Placement:** Near CTAs and after benefit claims
84 
85### 6. Objection Handling
86 
87**Common objections to address:**
88- Price/value concerns
89- "Will this work for my situation?"
90- Implementation difficulty
91- "What if it doesn't work?"
92 
93**Address through:** FAQ sections, guarantees, comparison content, process transparency
94 
95### 7. Friction Points
96 
97**Look for:**
98- Too many form fields
99- Unclear next steps
100- Confusing navigation
101- Required information that shouldn't be required
102- Mobile experience issues
103- Long load times
