Overview

Checks how well your site captures and converts buying-stage search demand.

What this audit checks

Determines whether high-intent commercial queries are covered by pages designed to convert, closing the gap between ranking for a buying query and earning the sale.

Intent coverage

  • Map commercial and transactional queries against dedicated landing pages
  • Identify buying-stage queries served only by informational content
  • Confirm comparison, alternative and pricing intents each have a page
  • Flag high-value commercial queries with no ranking presence

Page effectiveness

  • Check commercial pages lead with a clear value proposition and offer
  • Confirm proof elements (reviews, case studies, guarantees) are present
  • Assess whether the call to action is prominent and unambiguous

Conversion path

  • Review pages ranking well but converting poorly for friction
  • Confirm the next step is obvious on every commercial page
  • Check form length, trust signals and mobile checkout experience

Competitive positioning

  • Compare your commercial pages against the top-ranking alternatives
  • Identify differentiators competitors state and you omit
  • Confirm pricing or value framing is competitive and clear
