A landing page audit is a structured diagnostic that scores a page across 9 conversion signals: message match, trust signals, mobile viewport, load speed, CTA clarity, above-fold clarity, ad signals, SEO foundations, and AI readiness. Each signal produces a pass or fail finding with an evidence record. The Nebula audit runs automatically and returns results in under 2 minutes.

What a useful landing page audit includes

A useful audit does four things: names the page condition, shows the evidence, scopes one repair, and does not promise what visitors will do next.

  1. Inspect the page and its mobile rendering.
  2. Check message match, CTA clarity, trust, speed, structure, SEO, and AI readiness.
  3. Record the observed condition, threshold, selector, and evidence.
  4. Re-audit the same condition after the repair.

What Is a Landing Page Audit?

A landing page audit is a systematic evaluation of a page across 9 conversion signals: message match, trust signals, mobile viewport, load speed, CTA clarity, above-the-fold clarity, ad signals, SEO foundations, and AI citation readiness.

It evaluates each signal and produces a prioritized fix list. It is not a subjective opinion - it is a scored diagnostic that shows which observable page conditions are failing and which are passing.

The 9 Signals:

  • →Message Match - Does the page repeat the promise that earned the click?
  • →Trust Signals - Is proof visible before the visitor must act?
  • →Mobile viewport - Is the primary action visible on a 375px viewport?
  • →Load Speed - Does the page meet the LCP, CLS, and INP thresholds?
  • →CTA Clarity - Is there one clear primary action?
  • →Above-the-Fold Clarity - Are the offer, audience, and action clear immediately?
  • →Ad Signals - Are recognized ad-tracking artifacts present in source HTML?
  • →SEO Foundations - Are the title, meta description, and H1 present?
  • →AI Citation Readiness - Does the page expose structured, extractable signals?

Why Audit Before Spending More on Ads?

Ad platforms optimize for clicks, not conversions. If you are spending on ads and not seeing results, the page is one of the variables worth investigating.

A verified audit checks observable page conditions so you can rule the page in or out before spending more on ad traffic. You can run a free Nebula landing page audit on your page in under 2 minutes.

⚠️ Warning Sign

If you have spent $1,000+ on ads with zero conversions, the landing page is worth investigating. It may not be the only factor - but it is the one you can check in under 2 minutes without changing your ad account.
