Website conversion audit checklist

Find the moments that make good prospects hesitate.

Use this practical seven-part review to understand what may be holding buyers back. Then explore the deeper guides for help with the questions that matter most.

A useful place to begin

Review the complete path from first impression to enquiry.

A conversion audit is not a hunt for cosmetic faults. It asks whether the right visitor can recognise the offer, believe the value and take a sensible next step. Record what you can actually see before deciding what it means.

  1. Offer clarity

    Can a suitable buyer tell what you do, who it is for and what valuable change you help create within a few seconds?

  2. Buyer relevance

    Does the language reflect the situations, priorities and constraints that bring your best prospects to the website?

  3. Meaningful difference

    Can a buyer see why your approach is a better fit than the credible alternatives they may compare?

  4. Trust and proof

    Do your case examples, testimonials and credentials answer the doubts a serious buyer is likely to have?

  5. Risk and friction

    Are scope, process, commitment and what happens next clear enough to make progress feel comfortable?

  6. Path to enquiry

    Is there a useful next step for buyers at different levels of readiness, rather than one unexplained request to book a call?

  7. Commercial search fit

    Do your important pages answer questions suitable buyers genuinely search for, while still helping them make a decision?

Prioritise evidence, not volume.

A short list of well-supported improvements is more valuable than dozens of generic recommendations. If you need analytics or customer research to confirm an idea, label it as a hypothesis and test it.
