Part II: Cognitive Architecture Checklist
The psychological levers currently active in the copy and design.
1. Social Proof / Bandwagon
Implementation
The results gallery implies "others like you are succeeding here," reducing the fear of being the first to try.
2. Authority Bias
Implementation
Using specific terms like "System," "Tracked Calls," "Instant Routing," and "SEO Foundation" signals deep expertise and legitimacy.
3. Commitment & Consistency
Implementation
The short form ("30 seconds") gets a small "yes" from the user, which psychologically primes them for the bigger "yes" (the strategy call).
4. Salience
Implementation
The bright hero gradient combined with a large CTA makes the desired action the most visually dominant element on the page.
5. Framing Effect
Implementation
Outcomes are framed as "Motivated seller calls from Google" (Gain Frame) rather than just "Stop chasing leads" (Loss Frame).
6. Loss Aversion
Implementation
"Secure your market before a competitor does" emphasizes the potential loss users face if they delay action.
Senior Review Note: This is a higher-risk lever. If a more compliance-safe posture is required, shift to informational framing (e.g., "Markets vary; competition impacts timelines") rather than direct pressure.
7. Urgency / Scarcity (Soft)
Implementation
Implied competitive pressure regarding market exclusivity without using explicit, fake countdown timers.
8. Anchoring
Implementation
"Free SEO Dealflow Plan" anchors high value before any pricing conversation takes place.
9. Risk-Reversal Signaling
Implementation
"No spam" and "Privacy guaranteed" microcopy reduces the perceived downside of submitting personal information.
