The Visual
Conversion
Checklist.

Most brands don’t have a photography problem. They have a clarity problem. This checklist finds exactly where your visuals are losing buyers before they get a chance to say yes.

Before we begin
What kind of business is this checklist for?
Online Product · Service · D2C

Website, listing pages, ads, social. Your visuals do the selling before anyone speaks to you.

Offline Shop · Studio · Space

A physical location where people walk in. The space does the selling before you say a word.

Step 01
Answer 15 YES / NO questions

About your current visuals — website, ads, social, listing images. Be honest. The gaps only sting if they’re real.

Step 02
Watch your score build in real time

The ring in the header fills as you go. Your score is live — no waiting until the end.

Step 03
Your result tells you what to do next

Three possible outcomes. Each one comes with a specific next step — not a generic recommendation.

Can a stranger make a decision in 3 seconds?
