Stop Wasting Ad Budget on Slow, Low-Converting Landing Pages

Get Lighthouse 100 landing pages that convert at 5-15% (vs industry average 2.3%) and lower your cost-per-acquisition by 40-60%.

You're spending thousands on Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or LinkedIn campaigns, but sending traffic to generic website pages that load in 4+ seconds and convert at 2%. Every click you pay for that doesn't convert is money down the drain. We build single-page conversion machines optimized for ONE goal: turning ad clicks into leads or customers. Lightning-fast load times (under 1 second) improve your Quality Score and lower cost-per-click. Conversion-optimized design based on psychology and A/B testing data achieves 5-15% conversion rates. Most clients see 2-5X ROI improvement within 30 days of launch. The difference between a $3,000 landing page and wasting $10,000+ annually on poor conversions? We build the former.

"We were burning through ad budget with terrible conversions. Uptrade Media's landing page increased conversions 284% while our ad spend stayed the same. The ROI is absurd—the landing page paid for itself in 4 days. We've since built 5 more landing pages for different campaigns."

Hidden Costs

Slow Landing Pages Cost You 2X: Lower Quality Score = Higher CPC

Google and Facebook penalize slow landing pages with higher costs and lower ad positions

The Hidden Cost Most Advertisers Miss

Most businesses focus only on conversion rate, missing the fact that landing page speed directly impacts how much you pay per click. Google Ads uses "Quality Score" (1-10 scale) to determine your ad position and cost-per-click. Landing page experience (primarily speed) is 1/3 of that score.

A slow landing page doesn't just convert poorly—it makes every click more expensive, compounding your losses.

Lighthouse 100 vs Slow page
Real Example: The Compounding Effect

A client was paying $4.75 per click with Lighthouse score 38 landing page. After our Lighthouse 100 redesign:

Quality Score improved from 4 to 9
CPC dropped from $4.75 to $2.20 (-54%)
Same $5K budget: 1,053 → 2,273 clicks (+116%)
Combined with 284% conversion improvement = 5.9X more leads
5.9X
More Leads for Same Budget
This is the power of combining speed optimization (lower CPC) with conversion optimization (higher conversion rate)

Bottom Line:

A $3,000-$5,000 investment in a Lighthouse 100 landing page can save you $1,000-$3,000 monthly in reduced ad costs while simultaneously increasing conversions. Most clients achieve 2-4 month payback period just from CPC savings, before factoring in conversion improvements.

Landing Page Anatomy

The 8 Elements of a High-Converting Landing Page

Every element strategically placed to guide visitors toward one action

1
Above-the-Fold Hero
70% of visitors never scroll. This section must capture attention in 3 seconds.
  • Clear headline matching ad copy exactly
  • Subheadline explaining benefit in 10-15 words
  • Hero image/video showing product or result
  • Primary CTA with action-oriented copy
  • Trust indicators (logos, ratings)
  • No navigation menu (no exit paths)
2
Social Proof
Trust is the #1 conversion barrier. Reduce risk perception by 63%.
  • Client logos (8-12 brands)
  • Testimonial with photo and results
  • Rating display (4.8★ from reviews)
  • Usage stats ("Join 5,000+ companies")
3
Benefits (Not Features)
People buy outcomes, not features. Answer "What's in it for me?"
  • 3 core benefits with icons
  • Focus on outcomes ("Save 10 hours/week")
  • Visual hierarchy with whitespace
4
3-Step Process
Complexity kills conversions. Show simplicity.
  • Visual timeline (Step 1 → 2 → 3)
  • Each step: icon, title, 1-sentence description
  • Emphasize ease
5
Proof & Results
Rational buyers need proof. Specific numbers build credibility.
  • Specific metrics (not vague claims)
  • Before/after examples
  • Case study snippet
  • Link to full case study
6
Objection Handling
Address concerns before they become exit reasons.
  • FAQ accordion (top 3-5 objections)
  • Guarantee statement
  • Security badges (if payment info)
7
Urgency Element
Urgency triggers loss aversion. "Act now" converts 34% better.
  • Scarcity ("Only 5 spots left")
  • Time limit ("Expires Friday")
  • Event-based ("Black Friday special")
8
Final CTA
People who scrolled to bottom are highly engaged.
  • Repeated primary CTA
  • Different angle ("Ready to get started?")
  • Risk reversal ("No credit card required")

Can you build landing pages for [platform]?
Do you optimize existing landing pages or only build new ones?
Can we edit the landing page ourselves later?
