The destination does not keep the promise of the link
By Leakly · Published · Updated
01The problem
A call to action promises one thing and the page it opens offers another.
A broken promise costs more than a weak one. The visitor who clicked was the one most ready to convert, and the mismatch reads as bait.
02How Leakly detects it
A relation between pages on the path: a link that doesn't exist, a promise the next page doesn't keep. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 90%.
03Proof required
- A verbatim quote that must be found again in the captured page.
Without it, the finding is not reported.
04How to fix it
Make the destination deliver what the link promised.
- Either point the action at the page that fulfils it, or change the wording to match what the destination offers.
- Carry the promise through in the destination's own headline.
Each audit that finds this leak includes the exact element, a suggested change and, for copy, a rewrite you can paste.
