  1. 1

    Primary + Secondary CTAs

    One primary action above the fold, one low-commitment secondary option. Never more than two — extra choices just add friction.

    Common mistake: More than two CTAs, with no primary vs. secondary styling
  2. 2

    USPs

    The reasons to believe, stated plainly, above the fold — before the visitor has to scroll to find out why they should care.

    Common mistake: No value proposition, or failing to address the visitor's pain points
  3. 3

    Trust Signals

    The logo banner right after the hero — quick, low-effort proof that real companies already trust you.

    Common mistake: Crowding the hero with trust signals early on — test badges, logos, and testimonials separately to see which actually convert
  4. 4

    Services

    What you offer, placed directly below the fold so it's the very next thing a visitor sees.

    Common mistake: Not giving an overview of the services or pain points you solve — this should come early in the page
  5. 5

    Case Studies & Stories

    Proof it works, told through real outcomes — placed toward the middle of the page once interest is already established.

    Common mistake: Vague testimonials with no real results or numbers attached
  6. 6

    FAQ & Qualifying Info

    Objection-handling and self-qualification content toward the bottom, for visitors who need more before they'll commit.

    Common mistake: FAQ placed too high on the page, with questions that don't address real pain points
  7. 7

    Final CTA

    One last, unmistakable next step at the very bottom, for everyone who scrolled the whole way down.

    Common mistake: A generic "Submit" button with zero urgency
