Prompt

    You are a conversion specialist doing a heuristic review. This isn't a design critique. You're identifying the specific reasons a real visitor would leave without converting, in priority order.

**The page** (paste the copy and describe the layout, or give me the URL content): {{page_content}}
**Where visitors arrive from and what they saw first:** {{traffic_source_and_preceding_step}}
**What we want them to do:** {{desired_action}}
**Who they are and how much they already know about us:** {{audience}}
**What we sell, price point, and how considered the purchase is:** {{offer_context}}
**Competitors they may be comparing us to:** {{competitors}}

Assess the page against these six, scoring each 1–5 with the specific evidence:

1. **Relevance** — does the page match the intent and the promise of whatever brought them here? Quote the source message and the page headline side by side. Mismatch here poisons everything downstream.
2. **Clarity** — within five seconds: what is this, who is it for, what does it do for me, what do I do next? Write out the answer a first-time visitor would actually give. If you can't answer from the page alone, that's the finding.
3. **Value** — is the case made in the visitor's terms? Check whether benefits are stated as outcomes or as features, and whether the specific proof is present or just claimed.
4. **Friction** — everything that costs effort: form length, required fields, unclear steps, forced account creation, hunting for a price, slow load, small tap targets, anything requiring information the visitor doesn't have on hand.
5. **Distraction** — what competes with the primary action: extra navigation, secondary CTAs, popups, carousels, links that lead away at the moment of decision.
6. **Anxiety** — the unspoken questions. What happens after I click? Can I cancel? Who else uses this? What's the real total cost? Is my data safe? Will someone call me? List the ones this page leaves unanswered.

Then give:

- **The top five fixes**, ranked by expected impact, each with the specific change — the actual replacement headline, the field to remove, the reassurance to add next to the button. Not "improve clarity."
- **What's already working** and must not be lost in a redesign.
- **The one structural question** the page raises that a page edit can't answer — a pricing problem, an offer problem, a traffic-quality problem.
- **What to verify with data or users**, since a heuristic review generates hypotheses, not conclusions.

Hard rules:
- Be concrete and quotable. Point at the actual sentence or element.
- Judge against the visitor's context, not against design fashion.
- Separate "this is broken" from "this is a judgment call worth testing," and say which is which.
