The landing page playbook has changed.
I recently hosted a 40+ minute workshop completely free.
I break down:
→ What's actually converting in 2026
→ Why generic PDPs are losing
→ Ad → landing page congruency
→ The 4 LP formats we're seeing win
→ Quiz, listicle & advertorial funnels
→ How we're using AI to build pages in days, not weeks
No gate. Completely free.

Pumped about this one.
Our most complete CRO playbook to date, built for how AI is changing post-click growth right now.
Comment PLAYBOOK on @oliverkenyon post and he’ll send it over.
This is the foundation of a lot of what we’re building on the AI side. Excited to see what people do with it.

I've seen three agencies shut their doors in the last two weeks.
Here's how we're making sure ConversionWise thrives when others won't.
I've been running agencies for 13 years.
And if there's one thing I've learned, it's this:
The businesses that survive aren't necessarily the smartest.
They aren't necessarily the biggest.
They're the ones that adapt fastest.
Every agency owner likes to talk about innovation.
Far fewer are willing to challenge their own business model, positioning, services, processes, and assumptions when the market changes.
But that's the job.
The world changes.
Customer expectations change.
Technology changes.
Your business has to change with it.
Or you get left behind.
Right now we're focused on three things.
1. Listening to customers
We preach customer research every day.
User interviews.
Surveys.
Customer feedback.
Yet many agency owners never do it in their own business.
Tomorrow I have five calls with current and former clients.
No pitch.
No agenda.
No sales process.
Just one question:
"What do you need from an agency in 2026?"
Because the market will tell you exactly what to build next if you're willing to listen.
2. Reinventing our positioning
Over the last few months we've been completely rethinking how we communicate.
New messaging.
New positioning.
New website.
New offers.
New content strategy.
Because standing still is no longer an option.
What worked three years ago doesn't necessarily work today.
And what works today might not work in three years.
3. Embracing AI properly
Not replacing people with AI.
Making people better with AI.
Last week I told our team of 60+ people:
"AI won't replace great people. Great people using AI will replace people who don't."
That's the reality.
Clients expect faster delivery.
Faster answers.
Faster execution.
The question is no longer:
"Can you do this?"
It's:
"Why can't I do this myself?"
And that's where most agencies are getting caught out.
Because AI isn't the advantage.
AI is just the tool.
AI is an F1 car.
Most people are still learner drivers.
The value isn't in having access to AI.
The value is knowing what questions to ask, what answers to ignore, and what actions to take next.
We're already seeing brands attempt AI-generated audits, AI-generated strategies, and AI-generated CRO recommendations.
Some work.
Most don't.
Because AI is programmed to give you an answer.
It isn't programmed to give you the right answer.
That's where experience matters.
That's where judgement matters.
That's where strategy matters.
That's where agencies still have a huge opportunity.
The future isn't AI versus agencies.
The future is AI plus experienced operators.
That's exactly what we're building.
AI-powered execution.
Human-led strategy.
13 years of experience.
4,000+ brands.
Billions in revenue impact.
The agencies that learn to adapt will thrive.
The ones waiting for things to go back to normal won't.
Because this is normal now.
How are you changing or adapting?
13 years. What an incredible journey.
From a forum message to the top rated CRO-agency, still feels surreal when I see it written down like that.
Proud of everything we’ve built, and the people we’ve had the opportunity to build it with.
We’re just getting started.
🎂 ConversionWise turns 13 today.
Mad to think this all started back in 2013.
No big plan.
No team.
Just figuring it out as we went.

4. Generated over $1B in revenue for our clients

📚MY BOOK “BILLION DOLLAR WEBSITES” IS OUT! 📚
10+ years of CRO experience in one book.
- $5 billion in online revenue.
- Starting & exiting 2 ecom brands.
- 12 years in marketing.
This will be the highest ROI of your whole year: 👇🧵
From the gent @DylanAnder who always shares killer book recommendations with me, it’s time I share HIS new book with you.
Honoured to have peaked a preview to this and it doesn’t disappoint
I’ve optimized $5 billion in ecom revenue over 12+ years… and now spent 2,000 hours putting ALL my knowledge PUBLISHED IN A BOOK!!!
Yes, you read that right.
My first book, "Billion Dollar Websites" drops November 4th.
In my 12+ years, I’ve invented CRO frameworks, playbooks, copywriting formulas, and consumer psychology strategies that don't exist anywhere else.
This is more than a book. There’s QR codes throughout the entire book, so you’ll also get
-Short + actionable checklists that take <5 min for big-time wins
-Swipe files, checklists, templates before they go public
-Play-by-play wins from elite ecommerce sites
If you ask me any question about CRO, on November 4th my answer will be to read Billion Dollar Websites. There’s nothing I know that isn’t in this book.
I'm so confident this will improve your net profit that if it doesn't… I'll refund the book AND donate $1,000 to a charity of your choice.
That's how much I believe in what's inside. Lowkey dream that this is the next Cashvertising for you.
No one got rich by writing a book. This is a labor of love to the 150+ authors whose books I’ve read and changed MY life.

It's been a long time coming, but I'm excited to finally share what we’ve been quietly working on behind the scenes.
After years of testing, designing and refining what actually works in e-comm, we’ve baked it all into a Shopify theme.
SURGE is the result.
@oliverkenyon summed up the journey better than I can, but proud of what the team has built.
Big news.
After 12 years, it’s finally time to announce something we’ve been quietly working on…
Introducing SURGE — the new standard in Shopify themes.
And not just any theme.
SURGE is built to be the highest-converting Shopify theme ever released.
Why SURGE? (A bit of backstory)
12 years ago, Andy and I started this journey. Back then, we were called The Landing Page Guys.
We didn’t just design landing pages, we pioneered frameworks that shaped how CRO and landing page layouts are done today. To this day, no other agency on the planet has designed as many landing pages as we have.
For the first 8 years, that’s all we did. Thousands of pages. Thousands of stores. Countless tests. From that experience, we built frameworks that simply worked.
So about 4 years ago, we asked ourselves: What if we could bake all of this knowledge directly into a Shopify theme?
We hired a dev team. We worked directly with Shopify themselves. We spent over a year and thousands of pounds trying to get a theme approved on the Shopify marketplace.
And after almost 2 years, we gave up.
Not because we couldn’t build it.
But because we wouldn’t compromise.
Shopify’s theme guidelines are built for aesthetics, not performance.
Let me repeat that for those of you in the back...
Shopify’s theme guidelines are built for aesthetics, not performance.
And we weren’t willing to strip out CRO fundamentals just to “look pretty” enough for approval.
So we put the project on ice.
Picking it back up
Fast forward to just under a year ago. Shopify had come a long way, 2.0, Liquid, blocks, new capabilities and so had we.
We’d added another year’s worth of data. Another year’s worth of client tests. Another year of refining what truly works at scale.
So we started again. From scratch.
But this time, we went deeper. We extracted insights from our internal CRO test vault, a living database of winning tests we’ve run across hundreds of brands each month. Data from brands most people will never get access to.
The tests that I share here every week!
We studied every winning pattern.
We catalogued blocks that consistently converted.
We identified the frameworks that rarely failed.
From mega menus to PDP layouts.
From carts to micro-blocks like FAQs and benefit sections.
Every single piece of SURGE has been designed and developed around proven-to-convert frameworks.
This isn’t guesswork.
This is 12 years of experience and millions of data points baked directly into a theme.
That’s why I can confidently say: No other Shopify theme has ever been backed by this much real-world data.
Enter SURGE
For the past year, our dev, design, and QA teams have been building SURGE.
The result: a theme that’s fast, flexible, and relentlessly optimized for conversions.
But here’s the thing, SURGE is not just another theme.
It’s a commitment.
How we’re launching SURGE...
When we launch in this Q4, we’re only releasing 500 licenses.
This isn’t a scarcity gimmick.
It’s deliberate.
We want to work directly with those first 500 brands, agencies, and partners.
We want to gather feedback, refine, improve, and build a roadmap together.
We want to ensure Surge doesn’t just launch strong, it evolves into the undisputed standard for e-commerce CRO.
And here’s our commitment: Every Surge buyer will get full access to our community/academy and bi-weekly calls.
You’ll work with our team directly, fixing bugs, discussing improvements, and helping shape new blocks.
Together, we’ll make SURGE better with every iteration.
Because nothing is perfect. CRO teaches us that.
But through constant testing and iteration, we can get as close to perfect as possible, out of the fucking box.
And this is just the beginning.
Future versions of SURGE are already on our roadmap, including AI-powered features that will take optimization to another level.
Who SURGE is for
SURGE is built for:
- CRO agencies who need high-performing templates for clients.
- Media buying teams who demand proven conversion frameworks.
- E-commerce brands, from startup to enterprise, who want a store designed to convert from day one.
Final thoughts
We’ve already invested thousands of dollars and thousands of hours into this.
This isn’t a side project.
It’s a vision.
A vision where store owners don’t waste time choosing between dozens of themes.
Because there’s only one that truly matters.
SURGE. The new standard.
The waiting list opens today.
Spots are limited to 500 licenses.
Your place on the waitlist = your chance of securing one.

Let’s change the standard together.
Let's SURGE, together!
Met this dude over 13 years ago… in one his communities.
Most people think I’m obsessed with CRO.
And they’d be right.
But if I’m being honest, the one consistent thread running through my entire online journey, from the moment I first logged on at 15 years old has been community.
I first explored the online world through a hip-hop community.
The first proper site I ever started was a community.
The first site that ever made me money was a community.
I still remember pitching my grandfather and father for £140 to cover a vBulletin license, hosting, and a domain because I couldn’t afford it. (I was working part-time as a chef back then, and money was tight.)
The very first business I sold was a community I grew in affiliate marketing, one that became the largest affiliate marketing community online with over 150,000 members.
Community has always been at the heart of everything I’ve done.
ConversionWise itself grew out of a Facebook group around landing pages and CRO.
I was the second ever member of AdLeaks, helping my friend @timburd set it up before it became the biggest Facebook marketing group in the world.
I met my mentor @adamtoren through selling him an entrepreneurial community.
My first feature in @Entrepreneur was about selling the affiliate marketing community.
Today, our CRO Academy is the first and largest CRO community online.
And honestly? Even my audience here on social, I treat as a community.
Yes, CRO and landing pages have been my obsession for 12+ years. But my true passion in marketing is building communities.
I’m an old-school forum guy.
vBulletin. xenforo. Skool. Slack. Circle. Discord.
You name it, I’ve built a community on it.
And here’s what I’ve learned: the most valuable communities are the ones you own.
A forum built on your own domain, with your own license, under your own IP, is worth 5–10x more than a Facebook group or Skool community. Why? Because if Zuckerberg or Hormozi wake up tomorrow and change the rules, your entire business model could be gone.
When you own the community, you own the asset.
Deep down, community has always been my passion. It’s what I’m best at. And it’s something I’ll definitely be doing more of in the not-so-distant future.
In fact, our new product SURGE, launching very soon, has a huge community element built in.
Watch this space and thanks for being in my community!

This one’s personal. ❤️
Next up at the Conversion Rate Conference is someone I consider a brother in CRO, @dylanander.
Earlier this year, Dylan reached out asking if we could co-host this years event. And honestly? I didn’t even hesitate. It was an instant yes. ✅
He once told me that when he first got started in CRO, I was one of his inspirations and now, I can confidently say he’s one of mine.
The work he’s done with his agency SplitTesting and now with Heatmap.com is nothing short of remarkable. 🧠
Dylan will be delivering a keynote titled:
“Unf*ck Your Data and Start Doing CRO Like a 9-Figure Brand” — and trust me, you’re going to want a front row seat for this one.
It’s raw.
It’s real.
It’s exactly what this industry needs right now.
