# Conversational landing page optimization

**Summary:** Add conversational guidance to high-value landing pages. AI answers questions in context, unpacks complex steps, and nudges visitors to complete key actions.

**In short:** Add conversational guidance to critical landing pages so visitors can complete complex flows with fewer doubts and drop-offs.

*This recipe outlines how to place an assistant alongside forms and key pages to reduce friction and abandonment.*

Important flows like applications, claims, and sign-ups often fail because people do not fully understand what is being asked. Legal text, unfamiliar fields, and multi-step forms create friction. A contextual assistant on the page can answer questions in place and support completion.

Use a **Procedure** tied to specific URLs or UI states. The Procedure does not need many variables; typically `current_journey_step`, `user_role`, and `question_type` are enough. It infers `current_journey_step` from the page or route and only asks the user clarifying questions when their request is ambiguous, storing those in a variable like `clarification`.

To keep answers grounded, associate content with flat **Topics** such as `Forms-help`, `Field-definitions`, `Journey-explanations`, and `Error-messages`. Instruct the Procedure to respond using only these Topics, so it relies on your own form help and policy explanations instead of guessing.

As visitors interact, the Procedure can detect patterns like repeated confusion on a specific step. When it sees high volumes of similar questions around a field or page, it can create internal **Messages** for product or CX teams with a summary of the issue and examples of questions. A periodic **Notification** to a “journey-friction” channel can highlight the top problematic steps across flows.

You can also surface **Notifications** during the journey based on `current_journey_step` and simple segmentation. For example, users who stall near a certain screen can see a non-intrusive tip or link to a short explainer. This combines reactive chat support with proactive, segmented nudges.

**Conclusion**  
Conversational landing page and journey optimization adds a lightweight layer of guidance where users struggle most. With a simple Procedure, flat Topics for help content, and internal Messages and Notifications for friction hotspots, you reduce drop-off and create a feedback loop between real questions and journey design.
