CRO breakdown of Pickit's technology consulting click-through. Design analysis and expert conversion insights by Apexure.
What is ConvertScore™? ConvertScore™ is Apexure's proprietary landing page performance metric. We evaluate every page across four dimensions — Copy & Messaging, Layout & Hierarchy, Trust & Social Proof, and CTA & Conversion Path — to produce a single score out of 100.
When Pickit needed a click-through that converts B2B visitors, the brief came down to one question: what does this specific audience need to see before they’ll take action?
We started by identifying the conversion barriers. In the technology consulting space, B2B buyers evaluate multiple options, involve colleagues, and need evidence at every stage. They don’t impulse-buy. Every design decision that followed was a direct response to those barriers.
We replaced static screenshots with embedded video because video builds trust faster than any other medium. Visitors see real people, hear real voices, and watch the product or service in action. The performance trade-off is worth it — video viewers are significantly more likely to convert than those who only read text. We configured the embed for lazy loading so it doesn’t impact initial page speed.
The full-width hero maximises the first impression. We invested in quality imagery here because good visuals build trust, and trust is the foundation for conversions. The hero has a single clear headline, a supporting line, and one CTA — nothing else competing for attention. We used the hero image’s negative space strategically, positioning text where the image has breathing room rather than overlaying it on busy areas.
Custom icons break up content sections and create visual rhythm. Without them, a landing page becomes a wall of text that no one reads. Each icon reinforces its section’s message through dual-channel communication — visitors absorb the meaning from both the visual and the text simultaneously. We invested in consistent icon styling (same weight, same colour palette, same grid) because inconsistent iconography signals carelessness.
We set a single objective for this page — one CTA, one goal. The beauty of a landing page is the single canvas to persuade the visitor to do one thing. Adding a secondary objective (promote the blog, link to careers, showcase other products) dilutes everything.
We built trust in three layers. Layer one — instant credibility: client logos and credentials near the headline, because visitors who recognise even one name experience an immediate trust transfer. Layer two — evidence: case studies or metrics in the mid-section that prove capability, not just satisfaction. Layer three — reassurance: testimonials and guarantees near the form to overcome last-second hesitation.
"B2B buyers don't convert on the first visit. They evaluate, compare, and share internally. That's why we design every B2B page to be shareable and scannable — the VP who discovers it and the technical lead who evaluates it should both get what they need at their preferred depth."

We showcase testimonials from a similar demographic to this audience. If you're selling to enterprise, curate testimonials from enterprise customers — a VP of Customer Relations at a recognisable brand carries more weight than a generic five-star review from 'John S.'
As a click-through page, we deliberately avoided putting a form above the fold. The visitor absorbs the value proposition, sees proof, and only commits when they click through to the next step. By the time they reach the form, they’ve already decided — the form is just the mechanism. This sequencing consistently outperforms direct lead capture for technology consulting offerings.
"'Click Here' and 'Sign Up' are invisible. They're so generic that visitors skip right past them. We use actionable phrases that create excitement: 'Unlock creativity for $19' or 'Request a call from our agents.' The CTA should make the visitor feel they're getting something, not doing something."
We chose Unbounce for this project because it gives us the right balance of design flexibility and conversion tooling. The platform handles A/B testing natively, so we can iterate on headlines, CTAs, and layouts without developer involvement.
Over 40% of Pickit’s visitors arrive on mobile. We didn’t just make the page responsive — we loaded it on a phone, read the text aloud, tried the navigation, and attempted to convert with our thumbs. That process exposed friction points that analytics would never reveal. The CTA is accessible at every scroll depth, touch targets are sized for thumbs (not mouse pointers), and the form works without zooming.
We run speed tests on every page we build because a slow landing page is a leaking bucket. You can spend thousands driving traffic, but every additional second of load time costs conversions. We treat PageSpeed results as a to-do list, not just a score.
"Easy to work with. Knowledgable. Maybe lacked the last touch when it came to look and feel. I would also have expected some more critical thinking in our business proposition."
No landing page is finished — every page is a hypothesis that data validates or disproves. With today’s data, we’d make three changes:
"Every page we launch is a hypothesis. We set a single objective, measure against it, and then replace the weakest element rather than adding more. The goal is to persuade with as little as possible — not to dump everything onto one page and hope something sticks."
This Pickit click-through demonstrates that effective landing page design is about strategic restraint, not visual complexity. Every element earns its place by moving visitors one step closer to conversion — and anything that doesn’t serve that purpose gets cut.

People trust credible experts. Certifications, awards, media mentions, and expert endorsements boost credibility.
People follow the actions of others. Testimonials, reviews, and client logos build trust and reduce hesitation.
Eye-tracking shows people scan pages in an F-shape. Placing key content along this path increases engagement.
Simpler pages convert better. Reducing visual noise, breaking forms into steps, and clear copy lower mental effort.
A high-converting technology consulting landing page has a single clear objective, a headline that empathises with the visitor's problem, trust signals placed strategically throughout (not buried at the bottom), and a CTA with action-specific copy. The design should reduce cognitive load through clean typography, generous whitespace, and progressive disclosure of information.
A dedicated click-through outperforms standard website pages because it has a single focused goal with no competing navigation links. Your main website serves multiple audiences and objectives, which dilutes conversion performance. A landing page removes the main nav, eliminates distractions, and guides every visitor toward one action.
The most effective CRO principles for B2B landing pages are authority bias, cognitive load reduction, social proof from similar demographics, and a clear text colour hierarchy that guides the eye.
A technology consulting landing page typically takes 2-3 weeks from brief to launch. This includes audience research, wireframing, visual design, copywriting, development, speed optimisation, and cross-device testing. We follow the principle that the page launches as a hypothesis — then we iterate based on real performance data.

"The hero has one job: confirm the visitor is in the right place within three seconds. If they have to think about what you do, they're gone. We strip everything from the hero that doesn't serve that single purpose — no secondary CTAs, no feature lists, no animations competing for attention."
