What This Prompt Does

When to Use It
- •CTR is strong but conversion rate is weak
- •Bounce rate on paid traffic is above 70%
- •Quality Score flags "landing page experience" as below average
- •Launching a new campaign and want to pressure-test the page first

How the Prompt Is Structured
Ad First, Page Second
The Process starts with "review the promise made in the ad." That framing puts the ad in charge — the landing page is evaluated against the ad's promise, not the other way around.
Trust Signals vs Conversion Elements
Trust signals (reviews, credentials, guarantees) answer "can I believe them?" Conversion elements (buttons, phone numbers, forms) answer "how do I act?" Paid traffic needs both — and this split prevents the AI from conflating them.
"Do Not Rewrite the Entire Landing Page"
Without the guardrail, the AI tends to offer a full rewrite. This forces diagnosis-and-targeted-fix mode, which is what a paid search team actually needs.
Top 5 Fixes
A hard cap of five fixes forces ranking. The first one is almost always the highest-leverage change — ship it first, measure, then move down the list.
Example Output
What Matches Well
The page clearly identifies the service and the city.
Misalignment Problems
- • The ad promises same-day service, but the landing page never mentions response time.
- • The ad highlights "24/7 dispatch" but the page lists only weekday hours.
Missing Trust Signals
No reviews on-page. No licensing or insurance mention. No local photos or verifiable identity.
Missing Conversion Elements
The phone number is buried in the footer. There's no sticky call button for mobile. The lead form asks for 9 fields when 3 would do.
Top 5 Fixes
- Add a same-day response promise in the hero to match the ad.
- Add a sticky "Call Now" button visible on mobile.
- Show 3–5 local reviews above the fold.
- Trim the lead form to name, phone, and issue only.
- Reconcile the displayed hours with the "24/7" ad claim — or change the ad.
Tips for Better Results
Paste All Active Ad Variations
Run this with every currently-serving headline, not just the one you remember. Misalignment often hides in the headlines you wrote last month and forgot about.
Mobile-First Review
Most paid search traffic is mobile. If the mobile page lacks a sticky CTA, fix that first — it's worth more than copy tweaks.
Match the Hero to the Ad Headline
When the landing page H1 closely mirrors the ad headline, users stop second-guessing the click. Copy consistency is the cheapest conversion lift available.
Loop Back to the Ad
If a promise in the ad can't be delivered on the page, sometimes the right fix is to change the ad, not the page. The prompt won't tell you — you have to decide.
