First: Speed. Test in PageSpeed Insights. Install WP Rocket if needed. Most sites double their conversion rate just from speed.
Second: Clarity. Is your offer immediately obvious? Can someone understand what you do in five seconds? If not, rewrite your homepage headline.
Third: Reduce Friction. How many steps before someone can buy? How many form fields? How obvious is your pricing? Remove everything unnecessary.
Fourth: Build Trust. Add real testimonials. Add an about page that sounds like you. Add proof of your work. Show you’re real.
Implement all four and conversions increase naturally. You don’t need fancy copy. You just need to remove obstacles.
