Utilize an AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) framework, potentially generated by AI tools like ChatGPT, to create compelling landing page outlines that clearly articulate the problem your product solves and guides the customer to conversion. Leverage AI as an MVP starting point for landing page copy and structure.
Shift focus from vanity metrics like conversion rate benchmarks to optimizing revenue per session and average order value. Continuously iterate and improve based on your unique business context, rather than comparing to external benchmarks.
