🗨️ CLAUS’S HOT TAKE
Why So Many Product Detail Pages Don’t Convert
Most PDPs don’t sell.
They list.
Features.
Specs.
Materials.Dimensions.
That’s not why people buy.
Shoppers buy results.
They want to know: Will this solve my problem?
What’s often missing:
A bold promise above the fold
Clear proof (reviews, UGC, trust badges)
Answers to key doubts (shipping, returns, fit)
Real benefits, not empty claims
A strong, obvious CTA
Why this matters:
Your PDP is your closer. If it’s weak, your ad spend leaks.
Fix the page.
Lift conversion.
Grow revenue — without raising your budget.
Your move:
Open your top product page right now.
Does it sell the outcome — or just the item?
