What we measure

A free download, guide, or ebook in exchange for an email signup converts 10x better than a generic 'subscribe to our newsletter' form. We detect whether you're offering something.

How to improve your score

Create a single high-value resource (ebook, checklist, video course, free tool) that solves a problem your audience has. Gate it behind an email opt-in.
