Discussion on: Your landing page isn't converting because of copy, not design

Agreed copy is the lever, but the diagnosis often gets attributed to copy when the actual root cause is traffic mismatch — a channel sending sessions whose intent doesn't match the page promise. Same copy, different RPS by channel, and copy never moves the bad-channel number no matter what you write. Worth checking RPS by source/medium before assuming the page itself is the problem.

Agreed, channel–intent mismatch is often the root cause. I’d break it down by source/medium and then further by query or audience intent to isolate variance in RPS. If high-intent segments underperform, that’s a copy/UX issue. If low-intent segments dominate, that’s a targeting/channel problem. Usually, it’s a mix of both.
