KNOWLEDGE

Load the following knowledge files before processing:

READ ../landing-page/knowledge/cro-principles.md
READ ../landing-page/knowledge/copy-principles.md

If any knowledge file is not found, proceed with the built-in CRO frameworks documented in this skill.

INPUT

When the user triggers /lp-optimize, gather the following:

Required

• Landing page file path: The HTML file to optimize. If a project is active, scan automatically:
  GLOB projects/*/build/**/*.html GLOB projects/*/build/index.html

• Conversion goal: What action should the visitor take?

• Email signup / lead capture
• Purchase / checkout
• Free trial signup
• Demo request / booking
• Download (app, resource, etc.)
• Phone call / contact
• Webinar registration
• Other (user specifies)

Optional (enhances analysis)

• Current conversion rate: If known, helps benchmark improvements
• Current monthly traffic: Helps quantify revenue impact of improvements
• Average order value / customer value: Helps calculate ROI of CRO changes
• Traffic source: Where visitors come from (ads, organic, social, email) — affects messaging alignment

PROCESS

Execute the following steps in order:

Step 1: Read the Page

READ [landing-page-path]

Parse the full HTML document. Extract and catalog:
- All headings (H1-H6) with their text content
- All CTA buttons/links with their text and placement
- All form elements with field count and types
- All social proof elements (testimonials, logos, stats)
- All images and their context
- Page structure and section order
- Navigation elements
- Above-the-fold content estimation (first 600-800px)
- All trust signals (guarantees, badges, certifications)
- Any urgency or scarcity elements

Step 2: LIFT Model Analysis

Apply 10x Team's LIFT Analysis framework. Score each factor 1-10:

Factor 1: Value Proposition (Weight: 30%)

Evaluate the perceived value of the offer:

Optimization strategies:
- Rewrite headline to lead with the #1 outcome
- Add specificity (numbers, percentages, timeframes)
- Include a "why us" differentiator
- Add proof points adjacent to claims

Factor 2: Relevance (Weight: 15%)

Evaluate how well the page matches visitor intent:

Optimization strategies:
- Align headline with top traffic source messaging
- Use audience-specific language and imagery
- Mirror search intent in above-the-fold content

Factor 3: Clarity (Weight: 20%)

Evaluate how easy it is to understand the offer:

Optimization strategies:
- Simplify headline to one clear idea
- Establish clear visual hierarchy (size, color, spacing)
- Reorder sections to match decision-making flow
- Replace jargon with plain language

Factor 4: Urgency (Weight: 10%)

Evaluate motivation to act now vs. later:

Optimization strategies:
- Add deadline or countdown (only if legitimate)
- Show limited availability with real numbers
- Emphasize cost of waiting / status quo pain
- Use urgency language in CTA ("Start today", "Claim your spot")

Factor 5: Anxiety Reduction (Weight: 15%)

Evaluate friction caused by fear, uncertainty, or doubt:

Optimization strategies:
- Add testimonials near the CTA
- Include a satisfaction guarantee with bold visual treatment
- Add privacy language near forms ("We never share your email")
- Show "What happens next" step list below CTA

Factor 6: Distraction Reduction (Weight: 10%)

Evaluate elements competing with the conversion goal:

Optimization strategies:
- Remove or minimize navigation on landing pages
- Establish one primary CTA; make all others secondary/tertiary
- Remove external links that don't serve conversion
- Simplify visual design to reduce cognitive load

Step 3: Friction Audit

Identify every point of friction between arriving on the page and converting:

Form Friction

• Count the number of form fields
• Identify any unnecessary fields
• Check for unclear labels or placeholder-only labels
• Look for missing input types (email, tel, etc.)
• Check for autocomplete attributes
• Evaluate error handling and validation messages
• Assess submit button text ("Submit" is weak)

Target: Minimum viable fields only. Every field reduces conversion by 5-10%.

Cognitive Friction

• Information overload (too much text, too many options)
• Decision fatigue (too many choices)
• Unclear next steps
• Ambiguous CTA text
• Missing context for form fields

Trust Friction

• No social proof near conversion points
• Missing guarantee or risk reversal
• No privacy assurance near email fields
• Unprofessional design elements
• Missing contact information or company details

Technical Friction

• Slow load times (estimated)
• Broken interactive elements
• Missing form validation
• No loading state on form submission

Step 4: Above-the-Fold Analysis

Evaluate the first ~600px of the page (visible without scrolling):

Critical rule: If the primary CTA is not visible above the fold, this is the #1 priority fix.

Step 5: Conversion Psychology Triggers

Evaluate the presence and effectiveness of psychological triggers:

Step 6: Identify Top Conversion Killers

Rank the most impactful conversion problems found:

For each killer, document:
- Problem: What is wrong
- Impact: Estimated conversion impact (high/medium/low)
- Evidence: Where in the page this occurs
- Fix: Specific recommendation
- Effort: Time to implement (minutes/hours)

Step 7: Generate Prioritized Recommendations

Create an impact x effort matrix:

Priority categories:
- Quick Wins (High Impact, Low Effort): Do these first
- Strategic (High Impact, High Effort): Plan and schedule
- Fill Ins (Low Impact, Low Effort): Do when time permits
- Avoid (Low Impact, High Effort): Skip or deprioritize

Step 8: Apply Optimizations

Modify the landing page HTML directly with all recommended changes:

• Rewrite headline and subheadline for clarity and impact
• Optimize CTA text and placement
• Reduce form fields to minimum viable
• Add missing trust signals and social proof
• Improve above-the-fold content
• Reduce distractions (remove unnecessary navigation, links)
• Add urgency elements where appropriate
• Improve visual hierarchy
• Add anxiety-reducing elements near conversion points

Mark all changes with HTML comments:

<!-- 10x-optimize: [description of change] -->

Step 9: Generate A/B Test Hypotheses

For the top 3-5 changes, create testable hypotheses:

Hypothesis #1:
IF we [change description]
THEN [metric] will [increase/decrease] by [estimated %]
BECAUSE [reasoning based on LIFT analysis]

Test: [control vs variation description]
Primary metric: [conversion rate / click rate / etc.]
Minimum sample size: [calculated based on expected effect size]

ERROR HANDLING

• If the HTML file cannot be read, report the error and ask for the correct path
• If the page has no clear CTA, flag this as the #1 critical issue
• If the page is a multi-page site (not a landing page), warn that CRO analysis is optimized for single-page landing pages
• If CSS is external, attempt to read it; note limitations if inaccessible
• Always complete the analysis even if some elements cannot be fully evaluated
