## What it does

The skill owns everything past the click. It starts with the money trail, not the page: the ad-to-page click path, then the analytics funnel segmented by device and source, then qualitative evidence, and only last a heuristic read of the page itself.

Message match gets checked on four axes — verbal, visual, offer and geo. Every finding carries an evidence class and a severity. You won't get a promised lift percentage, and that's deliberate: most CRO changes lose when tested, so a specific number would be a guess dressed up as a forecast. Thin session data pushes the audit onto first principles instead of statistics.

The boundary is reciprocal with the rest of the repo. If the evidence points upstream — fatigued creative, wrong audience, broken conversion tracking, an offer no page can rescue — the skill refuses the page verdict and hands off to a sibling skill. It never implements fixes; it names, ranks and assigns them. Bring the actual ad if you can, since the highest-impact check runs blind without it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/advertising-skills --skill paid-landing-page-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/paid-landing-page-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/paid-landing-page-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/advertising-skills --skill paid-landing-page-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/paid-landing-page-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/advertising-skills --skill paid-landing-page-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

## When to use it
- work out why an ad gets clicks but no conversions
- check whether the hero headline echoes the ad's promise
- cut form fields that add friction before submit
- confirm click IDs survive the landing and any redirects
- separate a page problem from an ad-account problem

## Example prompts
- Audit this landing page — the ads get clicks but no conversions. Here's the ad and the URL.
- Compare the first screen against the ad copy and tell me where message match breaks.
- Here's the analytics funnel by device for the last 30 days. What on the page is losing people?

description: "Audit a landing page receiving paid traffic against post-click conversion best practice and return a prioritised fix list - message match to the ad, above-the-fold clarity, form friction, trust, speed, mobile, policy risk - with every finding labelled by evidence class and no statistical claims on thin data. Use whenever the user says their ads get clicks but no conversions, asks why a landing page isn't converting, or mentions post-click experience, message match, conversion friction, form friction, or CPA rising after the click - even if they never say 'landing page audit'. Covers B2B and B2C on any platform. Audit only. Do NOT use for pre-click account problems - use mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-account-diagnostic instead."

# Landing Page Audit

Audit the page paid traffic lands on, and return a fix list the media buyer can actually ship. Every paid click costs money whether or not the page converts, so every leak found here is a direct spend leak.

Experienced auditors do not start with the page - they start with the money trail:

1. The ad-to-page click path.
2. The analytics funnel.
3. Qualitative evidence.
4. A heuristic read of the page itself, last.

A beautiful page that breaks message match wastes spend regardless of on-page craft.

The output is a prioritised fix list where every finding declares its evidence class and its severity. Never a promised percentage lift: most CRO changes do not win when tested (roughly 10-33% of experiments improve their target metric, per Kohavi's Microsoft/Google data and Optimizely's 127,000-experiment corpus), so any specific lift promise is almost certainly wrong.

This skill owns everything past the click and nothing before it. Ad-account root cause (tracking, structure, targeting, creative, bidding) belongs to `mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-account-diagnostic`, which hands off here when its evidence points downstream. The boundary is reciprocal.

If the evidence during this audit points upstream of the click (fatigued creative, wrong audience, broken conversion tracking, a broken offer no page can rescue), refuse the page verdict, say exactly which upstream signal you saw, and hand off. Do not let a page audit quietly become an account diagnostic.
