We're entering a new phase in how people find products. More searches start inside LLMs. Fewer people land directly on your site. Which means the visitors who do make it through are more intentional than ever. This raises the bar for landing pages. It also raises the bar for the tools teams use to evaluate them. AI landing page analyzers are interesting, but our test shows they aren't yet built for the level of nuance this new environment requires. Misread elements. Generic recommendations. No understanding of funnel stage or visitor awareness. If you care about extracting more value from the traffic you already have, the full breakdown is a clear look at where these tools stand right now. Worth a read. https://lnkd.in/gD9mrHHy
