Homepage Conversion Audit

/home-audit  Reviews your homepage sections against your best sellers and traffic, and lists the five changes most likely to lift conversion.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /home-audit
Audit my homepage for conversion.

## Steps
1. Read the live theme's homepage sections in order: what each shows, which collections and products are featured, the headline text, and whether trust elements (shipping, returns, reviews) appear above the fold.
2. Pull the top 10 products and top 5 collections by revenue for the last 30 days, and conversion rate for the homepage landing sessions versus the store average.
3. Compare: are best sellers featured? Is the first headline a benefit or a slogan? Is the shipping promise visible early? Are there more than 8 sections? Any section featuring out-of-stock products?
4. List five changes, ranked by expected impact, each with the evidence from step 2 and the exact section to edit.

## Output
A short table of current sections, then the five changes as numbered items with evidence and where to make them.

Do not change the theme in this skill. Recommend, then wait.

What you get

A homepage review grounded in what actually sells, rather than generic design opinions, with five concrete edits.

When to use it

Quarterly, after a theme change, and before peak season.

Variations

  • “Also audit the top collection page” for a second pass.
  • Turn recommendations into blocks with /theme-block on Horizon themes.

Limits

Sidekick can read sections and settings but cannot see the rendered page as a shopper does. Layout and image quality still need your eyes.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 1 hour.
