Landing Page Scent: Keep Ad Intent Intact Through Conversion

You click an ad promising one thing and land somewhere that says another. The headline shifts, the CTA changes, the offer feels slightly off. You bounce even if the product is good.

Scent is the continuity that keeps intent alive after the click. Keyword to ad to headline to CTA. When it breaks, paid traffic gets expensive fast.

The Landing Page Scent Checker checks that chain. Paste keyword intent, ad message, landing copy and CTA, and it scores scent, intent match and CTA carry through. You catch the mismatch before you spend more.

I run this right after any hero change. The hero might be better in isolation and still break the path that brings people there.
