Field guide / measurement

A low conversion rate describes a symptom. Separate audience mismatch, friction and broken measurement before choosing a fix.

## A practical sequence

- Verify that the intended action works and is counted once. A broken form can masquerade as weak demand.

- Review the promise before the click and the information after it. Check whether the visitor lands on the expected offer.

- Inspect meaningful segments such as device, source and intent. Avoid inventing a universal “normal” conversion rate.

- Use observed friction to form one hypothesis. If traffic is small, prioritize usability evidence before a statistical experiment.

### Take this into the brief

## The decision to take away

A good brief names the suspected mechanism and the evidence that would disprove it.
