7 hero section mistakes killing your conversions.
(I see these on almost every site I audit.)
Mistake #1: Headline is about YOU, not THEM ❌ "We're the leading provider of..." ✅ "Get [result] without [pain]"
Mistake #2: Too many CTAs Visitors get paralyzed by choice. One primary action. That's it.
Mistake #3: Generic stock photos That smiling woman in a headset? Everyone's seen her. She builds zero trust.
Mistake #4: No social proof above the fold Logos, testimonials, or numbers. People need proof before they scroll.
Mistake #5: Jargon-filled copy "AI-powered synergy solutions" Your customer doesn't talk like that.
Mistake #6: Slow-loading hero image 3+ seconds to load = visitors bouncing fast. Compress your images.
Which one is your site guilty of?
